Please evaluate the following potential album titles for A) awesomeness and B) likelihood of resulting in litigation.
What Kobe Wants, Kobe Gets
Guns n' Roses Presents: Chinese Democracy
The first is more clearly libelous, but by withholding a surname we (arguably) are not directly defaming Mr. Bryant's impeccable moral character.
The latter choice seems more likely to result in letters from attorneys, because I think we can all safely assume that Axl has absolutely no money left.
None. And he just seems like the kind of guy who would sue a lot anyway (let the 2002 MTV VMA performance serve as evidence – watch on an empty stomach).
By the way, what happens if China is in fact substantially democratic by the time Chinese Democracy finally gets released? I realize that's more of an "if" than a "when" but there's something undeniably awkward about ironic album titles rendered unironic by actual events.
(OK, did you watch the VMA "performance" clip?
I haven't seen that in 5 years, and I recall thinking it was the worst, most painful thing I had ever seen. My opinion hasn't changed with the passage of time.)
