The big news today is that Woody Allen is suing American Apparel for misappropriation of his image. Apparently, woody was never contacted about billboards that depicted him dressed as a rabbi, which apparently endorsed American Apparel clothing....somehow... and so now he feels he's owed $10 million for the use of his face.
Guess you can just throw this one on top of the pile of lawsuits already against AA, specifically Dov Charney. What's interesting, is that I had no idea these billboards even existed, and neither did anyone else I asked this morning. And what's even more interesting is that these billboards were used to promote a Christmas day flyer for steep discounts for shopping only on Christmas of last year. Who shops on Christmas day? Rabbis of course!

Looks like Woody is in need of some cash. The billboard is a total spoof. Doesn't anyone remember Flynt vs. Falwell?
I agree
