The Zone

Sidhe Interactive, the developer behind the popular PSN block-breaking game Shatter, received a cease-and-desist notification from actor/novelist William Shatner's attorneys for allegedly planning to use his name and likeness in an upcoming Shatter "Shatner" update.

The update was in a reality a joke article posted in a New Zealand game site, which details the non-existent skin update as replacing the blocks in-game with Shatner's Captain Kirk character from Star Trek, along with a remix version of the actor's cover of Bob Dylan's Mr. Tambourine Man.

Just when you think it can't get any sillier, both Paramount Studios and Bob Dylan were also notified of the alleged violations. Looks like somebody really doesn't know a joke when they see one.
