Hot Chicks with Douchebags PWNT

Posted on 24 February 2009

If you have ever seen this book at your local Barnes and Noble, odds are you picked it up and flipped through the pages briefly. It’s not something I would buy but I definitely got a chuckle or ten out of it.

Well last week three women that were pictured as arm candy in the book are the latest plaintiffs to seek a big payday over the book Hot Chicks with Douchebags.

Yvette Gorzelany, Joanna Obiedzinski, and Paulina Pakos claimed that the use of their photographs in the book Hot Chicks With Douchebags were defamatory. I don’t know what part about “Hot Chicks” with douchebags they didn’t get.

“The facts were undisputed: The three allegedly hot chicks attended Club Bliss, apparently a lair of douchebaggery so foul that vinegar and water should be served at the bar. While there, they apparently consorted, at least momentarily, with a few douchebags – and thus became background fodder in the author’s photographs.”

The Court found that as a matter of law, the book was not about the chicks, and no defamatory meaning could be imputed to any of the photographs.
