Leyan has been getting e-mail from random people who don't realize that the fat white guy was indeed, not Leyan Lo. Legally, I don't think there's anything that can be done. I would have thought that people watching TV weren't that stupid, but apparently something as obvious as that to us is completely missed by the general public.
If we could scare them somehow by threatening to sue, it would be a shot in the dark, but maybe they could get some compensation from it? I think suing them would cost more, and probably wouldn't fly because technically, I don't think they broke any laws, but I'm not sure.
