TMZ reports that magician Art Metrano is suing the creators of Family Guy, due to a scene in the series’ direct-to-video movie, Stewie Griffin - The Untold Story. Metrano claims that a flashback in the film, involving Jesus, employs a “comedy routine identical in music, sound and action to Metrano’s act, ‘The Amazing Metrano.’”

It reminds me of the skirmish over the Pokemon Kadabra. Uri Geller felt it was a use of his trademark spoon bending in the show, without asking permission to use it.
