Spike TV Update
Spike Jones is suing Spike Lee for claiming ownership of the name “Spike.” Jones has a good argument, since his dad, who was famous decades before Lee, was also named Spike. Additionally, the mere existence of another celebrity “Spike” (let alone two) proves that Lee’s pointless lawsuit is based on a false assumption.
So now when viewers tune in to the former future “Spike TV,” they see ads for “the new TNN.” This, of course, is the same tagline TNN used a while back when they were trying to change their image from redneck to, well, still redneck, but not quite so much.
