I just have to share this...
The answer to the question in the subject of this post: they're all being sued by Jonathan Riches... along with about a few hundred other people, in Philadelphia's U.S. District Court. There are 57 pages, listing everyone he's named in his prisoner's civil rights lawsuit (that's right, he's currently in jail for identity theft and credit card fraud). He seems to have named everyone and everything from those I named in the subject of this post to Skittles Candy, Don King, Paris Hilton, the Congolese Army, the YMCA, ninja samurai fighters, the Virgin Mary, the Doobie Brothers, George Orwell, Malcolm X, Teri Hatcher, the Holy Quran, the Fort McHenry Tunnel, Che Guevara, a statue of Felix Dzerzhinsky, Jack Kevorkian, Ted Kaczynski, Hannibal Lecter, the Hubble Space Telescope, the Colossus of Rhodes, Gene Hackman, the Holy Grail, the Great Wall of China, Betty Crocker, the Magna Carta, Hegellian Principle, the 48th Grammy Awards, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the British Round Table... it just goes on and on. (I'm not sure how one can sue many of these... they're inanimate objects, fictional characters or philosophical beliefs.)
(Edit: I was just continuing to scroll through the list, and it gets better. He's named the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Ming Dynasty as defendants, too.)
The article at Philadelphia's citypaper.net
The list of defendants - I know I've already named quite a few of them, but do have a look if you have a few minutes. It's mind-boggling.
He's also suing Michael Vick, the Atlanta Falcons' quarterback recently charged with organizing a dogfighting ring, for allegedly stealing two of his dogs along with his credit cards, which he then allegedly used at Petsmart to buy dog food. The suit goes on to claim that Vick pledged allegiance to al Qaeda, subjected Riches to microwave testing, and used drugs in school zones, and that after using the two dogs in his dogfighting operations, sold them on eBay in order to buy missiles from Iran. That one is particularly amusing, because it's handwritten.
And here are some of his other lawsuits.
The stupid, it burns. And yet it's simultaneously rather hilarious.
