So Larry Flynt wants everyone to know the adult videos his company makes are classy porn. Or at least that's his stance in a new trademark infrigement suit he's bringing against his nephews. Apparantly the boys, Dustin and Jimmy Jr., reportedly worked for Larry Flynt's company Larry Flynt Publications and were fired in November of 2007 for being terrible employees. The two boys then took it upon themselves to start their own adult video company, with 'FLYNT" in large letters on the boxes. The boys claim they had no intention of being confused with their uncle. Larry disagrees, claiming that the words "Larry Flynt's Private Collection," which appear on many of the trademarked Hustler videos, "is an assurance to purchaser that they're getting the highest-quality porn their money can buy." He never actually trademarked his name, stating "I just never heard of someone using someone else's name." We'll see what happens in court this time, Larry.
