In the last issue, MCN ran a story about Kevin Marino, from the
Starboyz, doing a backflip on his bike into a foam pit. They had screen
grabs from the video that was shot that day and even quotes from the man
himself

Except is wasn't Kev at all. In fact it's a scene taken from a Travis
Pastrana video of a black lad doing it. So, MCN have stolen images from
a copyrighted film, lied about who the rider was (who isn't even the
same ****ing colour as the guy in the pictures) and made up completely
untrue comments from the rider who wasn't even there

He wasn't riding a supercharged Honde vee-twin as well, was he?

What a total bunch of arse.

I trust whoever does have the copyright has some good strong lawyers.
