Man sues Yahoo and Google for taking their names from the tribes he has descended from.
A man currently being detained by immigration in Houston, TX has filed a lawsuit claiming Yahoo and Google stole their names from Tanzanian tribes. As luck would have it, the man is a descendant of both tribes - what are the odds?
The lawsuit states that Google was taken from the Gogo tribe, and Yahoo from the Yao tribe. The claim is asking for $10,000 be paid to each tribe member for the past three generations.
Yeah right!

Use the force, luke
Sample this:
- Man makes video.
- Viacom uses video, without the man’s approval.
- Man uploads Viacom’s video featuring his video on Youtube.
- Viacom sues man.
Sounds absurd? Sure does to me. And to this guy it is “bass-ackwards.“
