From our front-page news:
Companies who sue small companies over frivolous matters is nothing new, but this is one of the more <strike>humorous</strike> hilarious ones. Lexus, who sued a pornographic actress earlier this year for using their namesake as a stagename, is now apparently so bored, they have continued along the same road and now have sued a gay pornstar for the same reasons. Yes, there apparently is a gay pornstar named Lexus, but if that's not amusing enough, the studio that represents him is called EboysStudio. Perhaps a certain auction site should get in on this action too?

The performer apparently chose to be called Lexus because it's the name of a Greek God... how unique. Curious, I checked out the Wikipedia entry for Greek Gods, and nowhere does it list a "Lexus". It could be that this God hasn't yet come out of the closet, but that's still up in the air. Regardless, I hope someone else finds this story as hilarious as I did.

EBoys president Daniel Grangier, quoted by the GayWired news service, says the performer chose to be called "Lexus" because it is "the name of a Greek god," not because of the cars. Grangier said his company's own attorney is "now in negotiation with Toyota's legal team" and will resist demands for a worldwide recall of two films starring the controversially named actor.
