Not Funny

The “Something Awful” website has apparently posted a link on its site to a pornographic cartoon featuring Jade Raymond, spokesperson for Ubi’s Assassin’s Creed. According to Game Politics, Ubi demanded that Something Awful remove the image, and Something Awful responded by saying the image was only linked from the site; it wasn’t actually hosted on the site.

Under Canadian law, the posting might violate Ms. Raymond’s privacy or personality rights. It might also be defamatory. We’ll see how the case is handled under US law.
