I can't get the image of Bill Gates in his office playing with Steve Jobs and Tux dolls like Dark Helmet out of my head.

What's with the "wiping my ass" pose?

Woah, do you wipe your ass like that? That's seriously uncool, dude.

I thought he was pointing down and gesturing, " My balls are HUGE!!!"
Seriously, I have no idea. It's such a fucked up picture I had to post it.

The picture is weird and the lawsuit to be expected (unfortunately). But the little guy himself is cool. If I were into action figures, I would have to have him!

Re: Apple Goes After Toy Company For Making Lifelike Steve Jobs Figuri
Well, I'd expect a lawsuit coming from the family, but not from the company. How weird is it that your company owns the rights to your image? If that goes through, we're in big trouble.

A company would certainly have the rights to your image or likeness if you're a)the founder of that company b)the person was the literal figurehead of your company.
I can see the arguments Apple would want to make, but they'd also probably be wise to simply latch onto this company because that's a neat looking little toy.

Woah, by default? I seriously hope not. If Jobs wrote it down like "Apple owns my likeness", than good for him. But just because I found a company shouldn't mean my face belongs to the company. That's not the world I want to live in.

Me either.
Unfortuantely we're living in a world were corporations have growing power.
And we're not talking about someone who was just a founder of a company he was the figurehead of that company. Its spokesperson. He was the very image of that company. Whenever a new product rolled out his image was there, on stage, showing it off.
This isn't the faceless, barely known CEO, of Conglomco or something along those lines. This was a man whom millions or billions of people saw and connected with Apple.
And another company is trying to profit off of that. That another company has decided to try and to make a profit of Jobs' image is, in fact, evidence of this.
Steve Jobs was as much of a symbol of Apple as the the bitten apple is. That considerably more than any other CEO or employee of a company. The only other people who stand out as much as figureheads of their companies would be Colonel Sanders (KFC) and Dave Thomas (Wendy's.)
