“The farmer, Andrew E. Marsinko, filed a lawsuit against several people and companies involved in the photograph and the greeting card, including stock photo heavyweights Getty Images and Jupitermedia.
The suit was filed Sept. 12 in Roanoke County Circuit Court in Virginia.
The greeting card features a black-and-white portrait of Marsinko holding a goose, along with the text: “Since it’s your birthday, you decide – Would you rather get spanked… or goosed?”
In the suit, Marsinko claims the card made him the subject of disparaging comments, causing him “ridicule, embarrassment, humiliation” and other distress.”
