Man says show, movie infringe on his name

In his complaint, the plaintiff alleges that he changed his name to Jack Ass and created a character named Andi Ass to raise awareness about the dangers of drinking and driving after his brother Andy was killed in a vehicle accident. He accuses MTV of copyright infringement.
