As the parody site notes, “Also apparently, which I say because I never intended it to go there, my character Charles Carreon Esq. has an obsession with dinosaurs. Just go with it.” Aurich Lawson Charles Carreon is a sensitive character. Not only did he represent FunnyJunk in a defamation case and not only did he go after Matthew Inman, creator of The Oatmeal , in a separate case , but now he has also gone after the creator of charles-carreon.com , a new parody website. In a letter dated Friday, June 21, 2012, Carreon accused the owner of that domain, which was originally registered as private, of trademark violation and cybersquatting and asked him to cease-and-desist . In the letter, he threatened to amend his (already once-amended) complaint to name Doe 2 as Satirical Charles, the nom de blog of the website’s owner. “Register.com did disclose the identity of the cybersquatter, so I have that, and I notified [Register.com] that they wouldn’t be sued,” Carreon told Ars on Tuesday, adding that he had retained counsel in Phoenix, but did not say whether he or the new attorney would bring legal action against Satirical Charles
