Whatever you do, don't donate money to this dude's legal defense fund (Honda stole his ideas AKA boo f*cking hoo)

HONDA STOLE MY IDEAS <-- Ryan Hoercher goes to S.F.A.I. and is planning some law action against Honda because he claims that they borrowed pieces of a pitch he made to them, which, he claims, they then used for a commercial. It's a bit of stretch, but he's asking your help so that he can raise money for his legal fees to take the case further.

Ok, I checked out his claims on his site, he needs $3,000 to mount a legal degal attack upon Honda and wants donations. (Quote: "This is a chance to pitch in and help get an original idea rewarded instead of pilfered.")

Donations? LOL. Get in line, bud, I'm begging for change myself. How about taking this golden opportunity to... I don't know.. sell some t-shirts to raise cash? (CafePress: Honda stole my idea, all I got was this crappy t-shirt?) Put up some Google ads? Something? Anything?

I can't believe he's gotten $300 dollars so far. If he gets $3,000, he better just stick it in the bank and call it a good day of tapdancing for change on the Internet, because Honda or the advertising firm will sic their rabid lawyers on whatever 'Ironsides' Ryan hires and eat him alive in court. In other words, $3,000 won't cut it.

How much does he think his commercial idea is worth, I wonder? Comparing his pitch letter to the actual commercial, the only thing they have in common is dollar bills coming out of the tailpipes of cars. Neat idea, but not something so original that a good ad agency couldn't have brain-stormed on their own. In his post-broadcast Response Letter, Ryan claims that he has 'implied copyright'. Copyright? Of what? Dollar bills coming out of the tailpipe? The rest of his ad pitch is nowhere near the same as what Honda actually ran, as the ad agency's lawyers point out in blow by blow detail.

In other words, Ryan, what those lawyers are telling you is: Nice try, here is your hat, don't let that doorknob clomp you on the ass on the way out.

Since he's panhandling 'for justice of the downtrodden little guy', he really should go all out. I think he might get more cash from begging if he promises to give peeps a cut of potential lawsuit winnings (MILLIONS!), maybe even his first-born child to a random donater. I think it is supremely lame-o to just cry foul and beg for cash and not offer to reimburse donaters if he wins any type of settlement, which is extremely doubtful at best.

Seriously, if his case had any real chance, a lawyer would pick it up in a heartbeat and not ask for front money, they'd just take it out of winnings. Lawyers analyze potential cases to see if they have any real merit, and if some lawyer takes his $3,000, Ryan Hoercher might as well kiss that cash (ahem: chumps donated money) good-bye.
