View Full Version : MetallicA Now Sues NewDooM!

SAN FRANSISCO- As if Napster and the recent perfume name infringement lawsuits aren't enough, Metallica's Lars Ulrich is now moving foward in a new lawsuit against a game site on the internet, called Newdoom.com.
LARS: They insulted us, they mocked us. They used our name without our consent. I don't want to put up with this ******* **** anymore.
The suit against Newdoom is to be about $5,000,000, plus forfeiting the site over to Metallica for it's personal use.
LARS: We plan on taking the site and turning it into our own public forum about the band, and the issues of our fans. Everything else will pretty much be scrapped.
Wmull was shocked when he heard about the suit against his site:
WILLIAM: Some of our visitors have posted jokes about these lawsuits, but I never would have thought we'd get sued over this. This is a total shock to me. I don't know what to do. I might just have to hand over Newdoom to Lars because I can't afford to fight this in court, if it goes that far.
Newdoom is a game site devoted to the PC hit game, Doom, and is anticipating a third installment by it's developers, id Software.
For how much longer will Newdoom fans be allowed to come in and go about their everyday buisness, before it may be turned into another Metallica site? Until the lawsuit pans out, only time will tell.

None of this actually happened, okay?

They pretty much are not long-haired anymore, except for Kirk Hammet.

(a) I have no obscession with topless MetallicA members, just find the pics to mostly be of that nature.
(b) Me? Jon? Uh, even scarier.
So, Don, is that cartoonish pic in your sig a representation of yourself?
HINT: Comb hair a few times as it dries, okay? http://forums.newdoom.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
(After a run at work, I have no time to tend to mine, and it looks horrible after it dries.)

Ahhh! My first night back home on my own computer.
While I was there my brother kept asking if I wanted some gel for my hair (I never use the stuff). He asked me one last time as a joke so i stormed into the bathroom and soaked my hair with water.
It was 35 below zero outside with no wind and I went out onto the porch and just shook my head as hard as I could. Soon my face was numb and my hair stopped moving so I went inside. It was frozen into a very bizarre wave! I was so pissed that I didn't have my digital camera to take a picture!
On the other hand, I won 75 bucks playing blackjack. http://forums.newdoom.com/ubb/smile.gif

Everything counts.
You're not a loser in the game if you're trimming it, but an actual haircut (from long to short) means you lost. http://forums.newdoom.com/ubb/smile.gif
Basically, you don't win, but you're not a loser, more of a highly-placed runner-up. http://forums.newdoom.com/ubb/smile.gif

I'm going my everyone's lack of barber shop visits.
I allow leeway.
Suppose you like your hair 12 inches long, and it's 15 now. Trimming it to 12 means you're still long-haired, so you don't lose.
Going to a buzz cut, you lose.
If you want to see an older pic of me, look for the "Recognized by the State" topic here. It shows me with short/medium hair October 24'th. I now have meduim-getting-towards-the-longer-end hair now. http://forums.newdoom.com/ubb/smile.gif
Lesse if I remember the link to my pic:

If it's there, good. If it's a red X, then I forgot the filename. http://forums.newdoom.com/ubb/smile.gif AOL's FTP window refuses to show a lot of filenames stored.
