Justin Bieber feeling played by game

We all know Justin Bieber is a brand, not a person, and he will be chewed up and spit out like so many before him. But for now, his product is closely guarded and regulated. So when mobile app company RC3 released a game called Joustin Beaver, they soon received a cease and desist notice from his legal team.

Though the company is claiming its First Amendment parody rights, the Biebopoly just might have a good case.

First, theres the beaver in question, which has swept bangs, dreamy eyes and no pants on just like Bieber. The beaver maneuvers himself down a river through the whirlpool of success. Hes in a purple sweater and on a log and holding a lance, avoiding phot-hogs paparrazzi and signing ottergraphs along the way.

Trademark infringement, anyone?

RC3 filed a pre-emptive lawsuit in Florida before the Bieb machine could file theirs, but a judge ruled that RC3 cannot exercise specific jurisdiction over Bieber. In other words, find another venue since hes from Canada.

Things could be worse for him: Joustin Beaver couldve been a porno.

He may be guilty of creating fugly footwear, but Crocs founder George Boedecker insists he is innocent of the DUI charge he was slapped with in August. His not guilty plea will make things interesting for his lawyer, because the behavior he exhibited that night was primo.

First, the 51-year-old allegedly told the cops to go [blank] themselves in the [blank]. Then he said he was really [blanking] famous. And when asked for an address, he said, I have 17 [blanking] houses!

On the evening in question, Boedecker was reportedly found passed out in the drivers seat of his Porsche, but he said he hadnt been driving that night. As he told the officers, his 22-year-old girlfriend was actually at the wheel. You might know her Taylor Swift? Shes bat-[blank] crazy! he added.

And to add insult! to injury, the cops noted that the shoe mogul wasnt wearing Crocs he was sporting flip-flops. What the [blank]?QUICK TAKES
