Give it up, Spike Lee. The writer/director thinks that Viacom stole his first name when it decided to change TNN's moniker to Spike TV, eventually filing a suit with the conglom.
I'm usually all for sticking it to megacompanies of the Viacom ilk, but this is ridiculous. What about filmmaker Spike Jonze? Or Snoopy's Mojave Desert-based brother Spike? The Washington Post's Lisa deMoraes spanks Spike in today's column.
Of course, if I didn't know any better, I'd say that Spike Lee was in cahoots with MTV Networks to help publicize the new Spike TV, which coincidentally debuts this month. But that would be cynical of me, hmmm?!
