I'd have sympathy if this was about a grieving family wanting to be left alone, but it looks more like the "estate" wanting money. At least they aren't going after total nobodies. (Will Sasso and Chad Kultgen)

I've watched it on YouTube, it's pretty good. It starts "this is an impersonation of George Carlin". Wonder if a court ruling would prevent human impersonation.

Why sue? I got through 2 minutes.. And the voice was not even close to George Carlin.. Like it doesn't get down his rasp, and sounds like 70s George Carlin
