Dude, Like, Let's Sue

OK, so first the kids who sang "we don't need no education" on The Wall are suing Pink Floyd for back royalties. Now "Pink" Floyd (that's Richard "Pink" Floyd) is suing Richard Linklater for character defamation and "negligent infliction of emotional distress" for the portrayal of his character in Dazed and Confused.

Tort reform now!
