FunnyJunk Attorney Charles Carreon is a Tool & Dumb Extortion Lawyer

[Matthew Chan]

As if Charles wasn't enough, Tara Carreon is jumping into the fray.

She actually thinks she is helping Charles here. This is truly a case of blind stupidity that just keeps giving.

The Carreons absolutely have no clue why this is happening to them.

Watch the tragedy that is called Tara Carreon respond to the adoring public. She is truly a class act.

It's quite obvious what the "dividing line" is: Inman is funny, the Carreons are boorish, mean-spirited douchebags.

It looks like they're bent on proving that there IS such a thing as bad publicity. The Streisand-On-Steroids Effect!

I disagree on the very last article, this lawsuit thing being something that backfired.

Carreon made Inman a bigger hero than ever and helping Inman earn even more money and fame.  Although a time-suck and slightly inconvenient, he is in a great position and this is going to do wonders for Inman. It is giving him millions of dollars marketing coverage and fame. He is on the right side of this fight.

I would gladly step into Matthew Inman's shoes lawsuit and all.

agreed

I agree that this is not what I would consider having backfired, with Carreon trying to stop fund raising for charity, and his wife on a wild rant, this cannot help Carreon's case in the public eye.  And let's not forget how this all started too, with Matthew Inman bloging about Funnyjunk hosting hundreds of his images without permission and often without credit then Funnyjunk trying to collect 20k for defamation.  The whole thing was ill conceived from the start and Carreon just keeps digging himself in deeper all the time, while it appears that Funkyjunk has had enough sense to let it go and try to distance themselves from the fiasco they are still mentioned in every article about Carreon.

I would love to hear Oscar's opinion of all of this.

I think this would be a great topic for the ELI Factor

I disagree on the very last article, this lawsuit thing being something that backfired.

Carreon made Inman a bigger hero than ever and helping Inman earn even more money and farm.  Although a time-suck and slightly inconvenient, he is in a great position and this is going to do wonders for Inman. It is giving him millions of free coverage and fame. He is on the right side of this fight.
