Life Imitates Art Imitates Life

Think of every mother-in-law joke you've ever heard and Sunda Croonquist story is worse. As a comedian she has been making in-law jokes for fifteen years. There's plenty for her to work with as she's African-American and Swedish and her husband is Jewish. Up until recently her husband's family enjoyed her humor good naturedly, then she put up a web site that included references to the in-laws. References that the family now says makes it easy to figure out their identities. The family is suing her for monetary damages, amount unknown, and demanding she remove the offensive language from her routine and recordings of it and her web site. Croonquist is willing to change her routine and web site so as not to upset the family but bulks at a monetary settlement. Bonus: her husband's law firm is representing her. http://www.wftv.com/entertainment/20549398/detail.html
