Around Janurary last year, Uri Geller threatened to sue Nintendo for creating a character, Kadabra or Un-Geller in Japanese, which served what he believes a strong likeness to himself. Well, now he's got a lawyer and an estamate of what he wants for the "misuse" of his name.
So, what does Geller want? "Hundreds of millions of dollars". Why? Because he describes Nintendo [of Japan] mocked his profession. Him being a "professonal spoon bender", they stuck a spoon on Kadabra's hands, and gave him the ability to bend them. For "using the Star of David" on Kadabra's forhead to discriminate against his religion (obviously, Jewish). And then using a lightning bolt as which he said are reminiscent of a similar symbol used by the Nazi SS.
What do I have to say about all this? Geller obviously wants some money. Some "hundreds of millions of dollars". He says this is for the damages done to his "buisness and reputation". GIVE ME A BREAK
