Yoko Ono suing documentary flop

Yoko Ono Money

Is she this desperate for some money? Yoko Ono (and co.) is suing the creators of the controversial ‘Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed’ for using the song ‘Imagine’ in their documentary. While the movie is a critical flop, it still managed to get a bunch of people into the cinema. Which means they made money and, well, Yoko Ono could probably smell it and wanted some.

Of course, you have to draw the line somewhere and if they don’t sue, people might actually think they can freely use John Lennon’s music. And Yoko is probably not in for such a party.

The film makers, in their defense, say they used the song as a political comment and “are disappointed therefore that Yoko Ono and others have decided to challenge our free speech.” Yeah, they probably don’t mind if we illegally download their movie as free speech either.
