“Rapper-turned-entrepreneur Kanye West has taken legal action against the creators of Coinye West, a tongue-in-cheek digital currency that was supposed to launch this week. According to the Wall Street Journal, the document was filed on 6th January and it is going after the coders because the design of the coin features a cartoon of West. The new design still features a cartoon of Kanye West, but it is a lot less flattering. It depicts Kanye as a fish (South Park fans should get the joke). Ironically, Kanye was parodied in South Park for not getting a simple joke conceived by one of the show’s protagonists.”
