That'll teach me to reply without reading the thread first :) I yanked my last comment because during the period where I too was "the kind of man that read Playboy" AMG was one of the few that gave me the warm and fuzzies, so I'll honour that memory and keep it clean :) But I digress... The new Sims expansion "Superstar" has both Marilyn Monroe and Christina Agulara, amongst others, in it, (not met them yet :) so I imagine they had to haggle with managers and estate lawyers too. In fact there was an entire article in Wired (cover story) about the boom in digitising sports stars, for use in computer games. Something that could never have been envisaged a few years ago. I think somebody has already put Jean Reno into a game, can't remember which one though. I still reckon though that, "the law is an ass" OK so AMG has family who may be offended, but then so do the models who's body and texture V2 & V3 are based on. I guess their lawyers just aren't as good, right? :) Now we know why Mike looks the way he does... :P later jb
