Hilarious!

To be honest, if I played Fortnite, and had money to waste, I'd buy the Carlton dance.

Stupid autocorrect. Carlton is not Cartoon!

They have money, they can pay.

Yeah like swinging your arms is a dance move. I'm sure the judge will say the same *Face palm*

Is this in fortnite too?

Interesting question. You can own a song, for example. Can you own dance? Even if it's terrible

Interesting conundrum. That dance is synonymous with ‘carlton’ the guys built a career out of it. It wouldn’t be that far a leap for him to prove he had some sort of I.P on it. You never know with American courts.
