From the good people at AllHipHop.com

Legendary daredevil motorcycle stuntman Robert Craig "Evel" Knievel has filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Kanye West, claiming the Chicago rapper tarnished his image in the video for the hit single "Touch The Sky." The lawsuit, which was filed in U.S. District Court, accuses Kanye West of trademark infringement and unauthorized use of the Evel Knievel image by using vulgar, sexual and racially questionable content. Roc-A-Fella Records and "Touch the Sky" video director Chris Milk are also named as defendants in the lawsuit. Knievel, 68, claims the video disgraced him and accuses Kanye West of ripping his image apart. The video, which stars actress Pamela Anderson Lee, features Kanye West as a fictional stuntman named "Evel Kanyevel" attempting to jump a canyon. Evel Knievel's lawyer Richard Fee claims the video is a recreation of Knievel's failed attempt to jump the Snake River Canyon in Western Wyoming in 1974.

When are the court systems gonna wise up and actually reserve the court for real issues. Evil K damaged his own reputation, no one else did it.
