Apparently Evil Knievel can't take a joke.... Knievel loses 'pimp' appeal

After having a photo appear on a web site calling him a pimp, he sued, lost and an appeals court responded:

Considering the target audience, the Knievel caption "was most likely intended as a compliment,'' said Judge A. Wallace Tashima, citing one Web site's definition of pimp as a slang term whose meanings include "cool.'' At the very least, he said, any reasonable reader would have considered the caption "an attempt at humor.''

But Bea said a jury should be able to consider reactions from a more diverse audience. "What about those dowdy corporate bourgeois who are Knievel's clients and who allegedly have abandoned him because of the photograph and caption?'' he asked.

I just like the fact that they were able to work the term "dowdy corporate bourgeois" into a sentance.
