Its a joke. ha ha ha.
Buster Gunning follows the shocking drama surrounding Miami Heat superstar Dwyane Wade and the recent court order giving him ninety days to change his name.
Actor Kadeem Hardison, who once played the smooth flip down glass wearing character Dwyane Wayne on the quasi-hit “Cosby Show” spin-off “A Different World,” has won a critical court case against shooting guard Dwyane Wade. A case that went all the way up to the Supreme Court.
The court order states that Dwyane Wade’s name sounds too similar to that of the former television character Dwayne Wayne. Because the two are so similar, Wade must change his name within ninety days and if he chooses to keep his given birth name, he must pay out royalties to actor Hardison every time his name is mentioned on television or in print.
Hardison pled to the court that he would certainly go broke if he wasn’t able to use his famous television characters name for special promo appearances such as new Jiffy Lube openings, reality show guest appearances, half-time giveaways at athletic events and various other revenue generating activities.
Justice Sutter delivered the dissenting remarks for the case simply stating:
“I am not sure if we can rule in favor of Kadeem Hardison, I have never even heard of him, let alone seen that show.”
The Duane Reade line of stores is also getting idea of telling Wade he needs a new name.
Wade is said to be considering new names. One report stated that Wade is attempting to base his new name from his nickname “flash.” The shooting guard was set on changing his name to Flash Gordon. Unfortunately, the name has already been used.
Some men see things as they are and ask why. I dream things that never were and ask why not?
