Eckler vs. Apatow: Piercing question

As news that Rebecca Eckler is suing Judd Apatow over the movie Knocked Up made headlines in Toronto and Los Angeles yesterday, a certain 12-year-old of my acquaintance asked: "If he really did steal the idea wouldn't he change the title?"

Good point.

It's just a clever way of covering his tracks.

Some criminals want to be caught.

I've heard that the FBI routinely scans American Idol audition tapes to find guys on their Most Wanted list.

Apatow could have that syndrome.

Why doesn't she also sue the makers of Spanglish? Think of the smilarities!

a. Nice tolerant Jewish husband who makes lots of money. CHECK.

b. Sweet nanny from foreign country who tolerates mother's endless tantrums and neuroses. CHECK.

c. Insane, narcissitic mother obsessed with physical fitness, emotionally abusive towards husband, throws multiple tantrums. CHECK!

I am on the Most Wanted List but I get a thrill out of commenting on blogs. Screw those dumb cops.
