Hitler’s ghost hired Manhattan lawyer, Abe Steinway, who had this to say, “First, I’d like to address the elephant in the room; I get it. I’m representing Adolph Hitler’s ghost and I get it. My name is Steinway and I’m a lawyer who represents Hitler’s ghost. I hope that were can all move past this little bit of irony and focus on the case at hand. We have a serious case here and we feel that we have an abundant amount of evidence that will lead to a legal victory for us.”
Hitler, an avid television viewer almost always has his eyes glued to the History Channel and is said to have been keeping finely detailed records of each and every time his image and or voice has been used without his consent or payment on the History Channel.
The suit claims that over the past 15 years Hitler’s image and voice have been used in excess of 20-million times by the History Channel and that he is owed $866,923.53 in royalties. The suit goes on further to seek $35-million in damages.
“My client has not been able to rest peacefully. He stays up late at night in a tears and paces around in circles that are so large that he walks through no less than eight walls while making his loop. This is no way for a ghost to spend an eternity.” Steinway said.
A judge is expected to hear the case beginning on November 26th.
