Feel The Beat: Comedy Club Owner Suing 'Glee' For Stealing Its Name

Mark Tughan of the UK who is suing Twentieth Century Fox for infringing on the trademark of a comedy club that he owns called The Glee Club. He claims ever since the show has aired he's had trouble opening up new clubs and some of the newly opened clubs have had low quality performances. “There is significant and mounting evidence that there is confusion in the minds of the public, that we are somehow associated with or connected to the TV show and that we might provide an entertainment experience of that nature," says Tughan. Fox hasn't made a statement about the lawsuit, but that's probably because they're like me and think the whole situation is absurd. First of all, the only reason Tughan can't open a new club is because his show sucks. Second, the reason why you've been confused for the TV show is probably because people don't wanna get dressed and pay for a show to see people turn everyday life into a sing-along when they can just stay in their pajamas and do it at home for free.
