If you've missed having someone like Paul Christoforo or Jack Thompson to heap scorn upon as an Internet villain, here's someone more despicable than 4chan ...it's the Oatmeal.com-extorting Charles Carreon.
This ambulance-chaser seems to have made his name as "Internet Lawyer" from fluking out on a Sex.com case from a few decades ago and doesn't seem to have any understanding of how the Internet works in present-day. You should see the crazy photoshop-hackjobs he and his crazy wife have done up on their blog and have the gall to disparage The Oatmeal.
He's so batshit crazy it's ridonkulous. He makes Judge Floro look sane.

The above link contains pt1, pt2 etc and all the background.
Another summary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearson_v._Chung
I think the part that is responsible for most of my brain bleed is the sheer level of hypocrisy (mental instability?) that it takes for Charles Carreon and Tara Carreon to post the ocean of foul, libel, and stolen material on their collection of websites, and then sue Matthew Inman and others for those very offenses.
From the Washing Post Article:
"Carreon also says he found the drawing to be disgusting. 'I think satirical content is fine,' Carreon tells The Post, 'but him accusing my mother of bestiality is revolting, and I will not forgive it.'"
Here are just a couple of examples of his own revolting content:

NSFW - http://www.american-buddha.com/mondo.sceptre.htm
I mean, how can he defend that, not only to the Internet masses, but to himself?

I just read all 5 parts. Hot damn we gotten ourselves a crazy one here.
Yeah, his credibility as an "Internet Lawyer" is pretty much bullshit or 10 years too old to be relevant. He's like that huckster on infomercial TV Dave Espino trying to pass off his expensive "get rich on eBay!" packages to vulnerable stupid people. Cue..."CYBERWAR!"
Dave Espino has weird unnatural facial tics and hand motions.
Charles Carreon is like the Don Lapre of Internet Lawyers.

His crazy wife is posting on the Techdirt threads/posts about the lawyerin': http://www.techdirt.com/user/taracarreon

The Oatmeal's lawyer Venkat Balasubramani doesn't have a website from Netscape Navigator days and should be ontrack to wipe the floor with Carreon's face.
A former colleague of Carreon comments:

From Wikipedia (which no doubt is in various states of edit war)
His book's Amazon reviews seem to be taking a small hit: http://www.amazon.com/The-Sex-Com-Ch...DateDescendingIn October 2005, Carreon was suspended by the Oregon State Bar for 60 days for the unlawful practice of law and failing to deposit or maintain client funds in trust.[11] In September 2006, Carreon was also suspended for two years by the State Bar of California, stayed, and placed on two years of probation with an actual 60-day suspension for violating his duty to maintain client funds in trust, and for practicing without a license in Canada
Yes. That is him.

Orly Taitz has some competition for batshit stupid insane.
Guardian UK article about the going-ons with batshit crazy comments from his wife Tara littered in the comments.
Zionist conspiracy!
Carreon reminds me of the douchebag JUDGE who wanted 65 million for his pants lost at the laundromat:

Oh, one of /those/. Sigh.Originally Posted by rei
For every publicized case of frivolous lawsuits there's a thousand you never hear of. If you have money or people think you have money they wil come after you. The parasites are everywhere.
He can't keep his mouth shut and is interviewed by Ars Technica again today: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2...arles-carreon/
I wonder how much the cost of business and givernemnt would be if all that frivolity were wiped away... along with all the stupid patent crap going on. EVERY single tech comany is involved in massive strings of patent battles, and many of the patents should have never been granted in the first place. Reading Ars Technica for the last 23 years has almost gotten depressing at the amount of crap going on in that arena.
Yea.

NPE's alone 500 billion across 20 years... (There any good breakdowns of the TOTAL cost anyone have to hand?)
Yeah. He and his wife Tara are 9-11 truthers.
He's pretty much channeling Reverend Phelps now: http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidthi...ts-you-places/
Heh. He actually has a point about "adding charities", it's not quite the done thing in charity drives.
It really is an after-point to the crazy though.
Crazy wacko now amends his case to include CA Attorney General - can't wait for him to be disbarred.
Internet douchebag lawyer is trying to prevent the funds from being distributed to the charities: http://www.popehat.com/2012/06/30/th...iles-a-motion/
I'm loving the EFF. They eviscerated Carreon in pure legal terms. Why can't idiots like this be blanket banned from the whole US? Tired of these idiots just packing up from one state, moving to another to do the same crap they just did... and have 49 repeats. Same goes for bad doctors.

Wait. It gets stranger.

Matthew Inman has taken a picture of the money as promised.
Crazy lawyer Carreon has started a website called Rapeutation.
It's appallingly obvious he and his wife are mentally ill.
Remind me: why do we give these people attention?
For our own amusement.
The Jack Thompson of 2012, Charles Carreon loses.
