Given the amount of tortious intent and foreseeable emotional harm involved in the alleged actions, I strongly suspect that the outcome will differ greatly from the (in)famous lawsuit against Ozzy Osbourne. In that case, the plaintiffs claimed their children committed suicide due to Ozzy's subliminal lyrics in Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" urging them to "end your life". Ozzy took the stand to say that the lyrics actually said "Enjoy life".
That case fell on the issue of proximate cause--was the suicide legally foreseeable.
