Is there actually anything anyone can (legally) to do this guy about their intellectual and physical property being stolen?

A few weeks ago he had a picture of Spamela Hamderson from Muppets Tonight on his Facebook page for his "show" claiming that she was a character he created for his show.

He's deranged and delusional.

the best we can do is keep an eye out, ask him to take stuff down and if need be contact members of his family and friends via FB...ive contacted a few of his friends and family to see what was up and truth is he does have some mental problems it seems...again that doesnt make it right but someone should have corrected his mistake and pointed him in the right direction of really making his own show...i do admire his dream but he is going at it in the wrong way

As of last night I recognized at least 3 of JB's Puppets on his wall, but no captions, he may just like the pictures and saved them....
