Uri Geller, the psychic famously known for his telekinetic spoon-bending, has sued Nintendo for stealing his name and trademark psychic powers and using them in an evil, occult Pokemon character. Geller's lawsuit was filed in the Los Angeles federal court, and demands that the Japan-based company cease using Geller's name and pay substantial general and punitive damages, according to various news reports.

The issue centralizes on the character "Un Geller," which is called "Kadabra" in the United States. Geller's lawyers argue that the character makes unauthorized use of Geller's identity, name and his signature image of a bent spoon.

And in addition, Geller's lawyers argue that the five-pointed star on the character's forehead, is likened to the six-pointed yellow stars worn by Jews in Nazi Germany. The character also carries lighting-bolts on its chest, which Geller's lawyers interpret as being similar to the lighting-bolt symbol of the Nazi SS during World War II. Basically, it's interpreted as quite the evil character, and according to the lawyers and Geller, pays no justice to Geller himself, a former Israeli paratrooper, who now resides in England.

"Nintendo turned me into an evil, occult Pokemon character," Geller said in a press statement. "Nintendo stole my identity by using my name and my signature image of a bent spoon. I'm filing this lawsuit against Nintendo, not only to protect my name, but also, to tell the world before the start of the holiday season that I have nothing whatsoever to do with these violent characters that have a negative impact on children."

And generally speaking, Pokemon doesn't even make sense to most people. Remember South Park's spoof on Pokemon: Chimpokomon? That was a classic.
