When Goofs Attack:The Legal Battle for Captain America’s Shield
You would think that the year Captain America gets to be reborn would be a good time for Marvel’s red, white, and blue avenger. Yet some fans just won’t let it happen. First there was the Rob Liefield vs. Yellow Hat Guy incident. If you missed that one some douche bag known only as “That Yellow Hat Guy” went up to Rob Liefield at the convention formerly known as Wizard World Chicago and demanded an apology for Heroes Reborn: Captain America. Liefield ignored the guy who later returned to drop off a copy of How to Draw the Marvel Way. At any rate on an internet radio show when Scott Kurtz asked him what was up with the douche move, yellow hat guy replied “I love Captain America and he hurt me with Heroes Reborn and I guess I wanted to hurt him back” It was creepily close some of the stuff Mark David Chapman said when he was being interrogated after he shot John Lennon. I never get tired telling that story.
Not to be out done by That Yellow Hat Guy, Robt Seda-Schreiber has decided to serve Stephen Colbert with a writ of replevin. That’s the document you file when somebody has stuff that’s yours that you never gave them and you want back. Joe Quesada gave the shield to Colbert back in 2007 when Steve Rogers was assassinated and apparently Robt Seda-Schreiber feels it should be his. The actual writ is fake; it was filed with the Circuit Court of the Marvel Universe and signed by sheriff Nick Fury but it was such a jerk off move that this guy is trying to get publicity that I thought I’d tell you about it.
At least Yellow Hat Guy’s douche move was real. I don’t know if that makes him better or worse. Oh well, if you see this news around the web make sure to tell them it’s bunk. I think I will now refer to this chump as Rob with a T

Gosh, if I was the last person in the room laughing at a joke, or worse yet, not laughing at all when everyone else seems to be, I’m not sure I’d broadcast that with great pride over the web.
I read about this earlier this week & found this guy’s idea hilarious, but even more hilarious has been the confounding confusion by some (most?) that read it as to whether or not this is “real” or not. I think Mr. Seda-Schreiber has written something pretty funny & I don’t see how the Yellow Hat guy incident correleates at all, but to each his own. I don’t think it warrants such name-calling though.

I’m interested in what exactly you think is funny about Rob with a T’s writ? Granted I don’t think this dude is nearly as creepy as Yellow Hat Guy, but I’m not sure what is “hilarious” about filing a fake writ of replevin, it’s sort of lame. Now if his name was Steve Rogers, it would be a little funny, if Ed Brubaker did it, that would be sort of funny. I’d even chuckle a bit if he’d had Yellow Hat Guy as the plaintiff and used Jennifer Walters as his attorney, but I don’t understand what makes some random dude more entitled to Cap’s sheild than Stephen Colbert, it’s like a joke without a punchline.
I guess that’s why it seems similar to the Yellow Hat Guy thing. It just seemed to me to be two guys who think they are way funnier than they really are.
