**Beck v. Eiland-Hall** is a case filed in 2009 before the World Intellectual Property Organization[3] (WIPO), a United Nations agency[4]. It was filed by political commentator Glenn Beck[5] against Isaac Eiland-Hall, concerning the website "GlennBeckRapedAndMurderedAYoungGirlIn1990.com". Eiland-Hall created the site as a parody[6] to express the view that Beck's commentary style challenged his guests to prove a negative[7]. The site's name was based on a joke first used by comedian[8] Gilbert Gottfried[9] at the 2008 Comedy Central Roast[10] of Bob Saget[11], in which Gottfried jokingly implored listeners to disregard the (non-existent) rumor that Saget raped and murdered a girl in 1990. Online posters began an Internet meme[12] comparing Gottfried's joke with Beck's style of arguing, by requesting Beck disprove he had committed the act in question. Eiland-Hall launched his website on September 1, 2009.
