County Superior Court, Jeff claims despite their agreement, Montivagus has been \"falsely advertising this documentary as a Jeff Dunham DVD\" to \"mislead the public and reap millions of dollars by capitalizing on Mr. Dunham's fame and popularity.\" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeff -- who claims Montivagus also violated a number of other conditions of his contract -- is suing for fraud and breach of contract, to name a few.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the suit, it says \"any damages awarded to him in this lawsuit will be donated to charity.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\n&lt;div class=\"related\"&gt;\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span&gt;See Also&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\n&lt;ul&gt;\n    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2009/09/02/company-to-ventriloquist-talk-to-the-hand/\"&gt;Company to Ventriloquist -- Talk to the Hand!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n&lt;/div&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
