So... how is this guy NOT getting taken down by Lucas arts and hasbro for trademark infringement?

I'm sure there is a degree of pure dumb luck on his part, but given the fact that the stormtrooper and crimson guard have been embraced by the gay community, you'd expect the backlash of stomping on the Sucklord would just be a bigger publicity coupe for him, and a negative one for Hasbro and Lucas.

Plus being part of the New York art scene probably does afford a great deal of support in the realm of freedom of expressions when your work is auctioned and sold in gallery settings by rich patrons.

I think he's solidly protected by parody laws.

Here is an NSFW outtake interview with him and his mom. Pretty insightful. LOL

"Morgan: Outtake 1" | Show Clip | VH1.com


More info on this weekend's show for those interested.

JB: That’s great. OK well DesignerCon is coming.

THE SUCKLORD: I have my own booth, and I’m going to be doing The Suckathon, which will be run like a late-night talkshow. I’m going to be set up with a desk, and I’ll hold force and opine about everything that I feel inclined to opine on. I’ll have guests sit down and talk with me about anything relevant and irrelevant.

JB: What will you be releasing?

THE SUCKLORD: The main exclusive is going to be the next piece in the Scrubs of the Universe line [Ed note: photo above by SpankyStokes is a teaser...]. And I’m going to have an exclusive Dumny and some one-offs of the Spacemen 4-packs. I’ll probably drop them at different times during the day, and see if I can get people who are stupid enough to keep coming back for these things.

The Gay Empire Pink Stormtrooper got a huge front page write up on Wired.com and was wholeheartedly embraced with positive feedback. This was several years ago so he certainly has made his grounds as a parody artist and yes, he's been embraced by the gay community, more so with his personal connections to it.
Ample enough time for these "parties" to raise their arms, or lawyers arms, to halt. Bottom line, it's art.

[samurainoir]

just read this interview. Again just shows you what they DON'T show you around the careful editing of the TV show. It appears that there was a performance art aspect of the carny piece that we didn't get to see.

Work of Art

JB: I'm going to give you a couple quotes. This one comes from guest judge Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn in the Huffington Post. She said that you "got the challenge intuitively" but she didn't like the "character you played." What do you think she meant by that?

THE SUCKLORD: [At the art opening] I was doing a little performance piece where I was acting like a sideshow huckster. The game is based off Shoot the Freak at Coney Island. You know the scams that go on at Coney Island? I was doing Sucklord huckster. She doesn’t like the character.

Toy Break


Toy Break this Saturday noon-5pm PST

Join the Sucklord at his first Suckathon interviewing celebrity art stars, super toy nerds, hot girls and random passers-by.

Watch him pimp his career and try to sell you a cheesy autographed headshot for $2 (resume included). Your amazingly cheap purchase enters you into a raffle for really cool stuff brought to you by the Sucklord himself (of course). You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll kiss two bucks goodbye.

Bad attitude, crass humor, costumes, helmets, toys and featuring booth babe, Gina Darling. Sit on the couch, be part of it. It’s gonna be huge. Well…it’s gonna be something.

Watch him hawk his wares and make a mockery of the toy scene and most likely himself. Suckadelic exclusives include:

Anyone go to D-Con? Or watch the Suckathon?
He's really great and quite the natural and being a talkshow host.
REALLY wish I was there. That raffle grand prize was the bomb and loved how he ended up selling it and splitting the profits with the winner.
Hope he sells that Cooter Spaceman on his site. Totally rocks!
Gotta make the trek next year for sure.

Curious if anyone heard of the other cats bootlegging Sucklord like The Schmucklord and that guy selling the Suckpeg knockoffs.

The Suckathon was uploaded and can been seen in the links that SeattleEd added. They also downloaded well using steamtransport.
