Celebrity Impersonation

Anthony La Russa who is the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, wasnt happy with Twitter someone signed up pretending to be him on twitter. The user was posting 'vulgar and cardinals-related topics'. The unknown user stated on the website: "Bio Parodies are fun for everyone."
La Russa filed suit against Twitter, but eventually La Russa filed 'a notice of voluntary dismissal' after the social network site took action to probably remove the users' profile.

I'm fascinated by all the "FakeTwitterUser" accounts. I wonder if they have caused any issues.
