This is just stupid. Who the hell does he think he is? When I think of the word Spike I think of a mean junkyard dog, not a washed up second rate movie director.

Oh, he's got Cochran using the Chewbacca of-fense :) The network will never win. Not that I agree with Mr. Lee.

Lee?s lawyer, Johnnie Cochran, has argued that the network?s planned name change would cause the filmmaker irreparable injury by associating ?an acclaimed artist?s name? with the ?demeaning, vapid and quasi-pornographic content of ?Spike TV??.

Spike Lee = racebaiting moron.

A while back Michael Jackson made this song in which he said, "Jew me, sue me, everybody do me". Spike Lee was directing the video for it. They interviewed Spike about it on Entertainment Tonight, and his defense was "I don't think it's anti-semetic to say the word Jew".

What a moron. When I hear Spike TV, I don't think of Spike Lee. Hate to break it to you jackass, but the world doesn't revolve around you.

Lee is crazy. I just did a Google search for Spkie, and his name didn't come up anywhere on the first page, except in the news excerpts they post at the top. It's just a way to get some attention.

EXACTLY! I sure as hell didn't think of him when I saw the ads for Spike TV. I couldn't believe it when they initially upheld his complaint, like he was the only person in the world that ever went by Spike. What an arrogant asshole :|

Spike TV just sounds awful to me. I mean, sheesh, who were the marketing wizards that came up with that one?
