Lawsuited and booted?


It's now rumoured that a lawsuit being heard next week in London could delay the release of Ron Howard's The Da Vinci Code. Here's hoping any setbacks hit the film's box office.

Apparently, the authors of the "non-fiction" book Holy Blood, Holy Grail are claiming that Dan Brown ripped off not only their central idea (that Jesus got down of the cross to beget himself some kiddiwinks) but also the "structure" of their version of events. Plenty of people are confused enough to think The Da Vinci Code is nonfiction already, I dare say this is only going to make matters worse.

Now, this whole bunch are as bad as one another and need their heads knocking together, if you ask me. All this bickering over a few tens of million dollars - haven't their silly lies made them enough money already?

Seemingly, only the religious are much interested in debunking Dan Brown, but there have been a few secular criticisms, here and there.
