Yogi Berra Sues TBS Over 'Sex And The City' Ad - $10 Million
<snip>

NEW YORK -- New York Yankees great Yogi Berra has filed a $10 million lawsuit against TBS.

The litigation claims the cable television network sullied Berra's name by using it in a racy advertisement for its "Sex and the City" reruns.

Berra's lawsuit said the magazine ad caused "severe damage to his reputation." with its reference to Kim Cattrall's sexually promiscuous character, Samantha.

Berra's lawyers say the offending ad queried readers about the definition of "yogasm." Possible definitions: (a) a type of yo-yo trick, (b) sex with Yogi Berra and (c) what Samantha has with a guy from yoga class. The answer is (c).

According to the suit, the reference to sex "damaged his otherwise spotless reputation."

1. Monica's blue Gap dress once had a "spotless reputation."
But eventually, everything gets some president's semen on it. That's one of the perks.

2. Yeah, I can see that.
Suggesting that I have sex could damage MY "otherwise spotless reputation" too...

3. Yeah, most men are outraged when you suggest sex with them.

He should be happy someone even REMEMBERED him at all.

And I'm sure he needs that 10 mil, too.

Geez.
