dredrick tatum - mike tyson

Why would they pay people because they made a parody of them?

    I would think so. Tyson believe it or not is pretty intelligent. The Tatum character was introduced at the height of Tyson's fame so I'm sure his legal counsel at the time made sure he got paid. Same with Arnold as Rainer is a blatant Arnold rip off but hilarious none the less. I'm suprised we are getting Tatum before Rainer honestly.

    Of course they don't get paid. Their characters are a parody with completely different names. The Simpsons/Matt Groening/Fox have no obligation to pay anyone who they parody. As far as Tatum being introduced before Wolfcastle, well they also introduced Shauna before Patty and Selma. I think they're saving some of the bigger characters to be spread out over future updates to keep people coming back for them. Wolfcastle is in the files though, and already has a couple quests in the scripts, so I'm sure he'll be here soon.

    Are you kidding?

    I can't believe some of you think Tyson/Schwarzenegger should get paid. If you're over the age of 15, you should be embarrassed.
