Beck v. Eiland-Hall was a case filed in 2009 before the
World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), a
United Nations agency. It was filed by political commentator
Glenn Beck against Isaac Eiland-Hall, concerning the website "GlennBeckRapedAndMurderedAYoungGirlIn1990.com". Eiland-Hall created the site as a
parody to express the view that Beck's commentary style challenged his guests to
prove a negative. The site's name was based on a joke first used by
comedian Gilbert Gottfried at the 2008
Comedy Central Roast of
Bob Saget, in which Gottfried jokingly implored listeners to disregard the (non-existent) rumor that Saget had raped and murdered a girl in 1990. Online posters began an
Internet meme comparing Gottfried's joke with Beck's style of debate, by requesting Beck disprove he had committed the act in question. Eiland-Hall launched his website on September 1, 2009.
