"Celebs" or people in the public eye are held to a MUCH higher standard than "regular" people.

This is both funny and disturbing to me. The random part of it cracks me up, too. The disturbing part is I don't appreciate being slandered. Seditious, malicious comments that lack the merit of being true can be very expensive to the one who opened his pie hole. I hope BBQ man's pockets are as deep as his cavernous stomach. And I doubt there was a talk show host in Chicago who was less interesed in discussing Tiger Woods' fall than I was. It will be difficult for any of the 50 weeks remaining in 2010 to top the weirdness of this one.

Easy there, Mac. He sounds like a jerk, but that's not slander.

Slander:the communication of a statement that makes a claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give an individual, business, product, group, government or nation a negative image.

I think a case could definitely be made that it is indeed slander, young law student.

We have (1) a statement, (2) that made a claim (i.e.that he has skeletons in his closet and that he is a hypocrite), (3) expressly stated, (4) implied o be factual, and (4) that may give an individual (Mac) negative image.

Tom Cruise would have his opponent belly up in the courtroom with this much material.

I think the vague way he said it would keep him safe against slander.

Couldnt he say he literally meant "Macs backyard is not properly maintained"

Maybe thats slander in and of itself.

Maybe the Barbecue Man is trying to change his name to Lawncare Man and we simply misunderstood him?

What would be the level of disrepair a backyard in Indiana could be in order to be considered not properly maintained?

Is it when a family of rodents take up residence in the hollowed out car on cinder blocks?

And now I have no idea what you are talking about.

I have actually won a slander case before. I cannot tell you too many specifics, but it did involve comments made on a radio station about a Chicago Businessman.

Ok, let me couch my definition of "win" - it never went to trial as the Defendant paid a hefty settlement to make it go away. :wink:


That sure sounds like a victory to me.

What is he alluding to with the "backyard" comment?

Is he implying that Mac is hiding something or that he truly has a messy backyard area?

Like I said, many defenses exist to a combat a claim for slander, but (without actually hearing the excerpt, of course) elements seem to exist such that a complaint could be drafted and filed with the court that could be argued behind or possibly survive initial challenges.

Therefore, a "case" could certainly exist.

I am a practicing lawyer and I have seen much stranger appeals for civil justice.


you suck at enhancing my posts

He'd never get past "defamatory to a person's character". If the standard was that low, a lot of what goes on sports radio (and for that matter, this board) would be slander.

I write long posts because I do not have the time to write short ones.

Fair enough. I think it's a loser. Not a Rule 11 sanctions loser or anything, but I don't think it'd force a settlement.

One of my favorite episodes.

The Cosby Show was created to show everyone how much their own families sucked...

The whole neighborhood went to the family when they were in a bind. Whether it was Cockroach, some distant cousin named Pam, Bud, the guy who's daughter was on crack...It ALL got settled at The Huxtable household
