I Hate U, Now Everyone Knows It

Woody Allen has sued American Apparel Inc for using his image and likeness in an ad that appeared on billboards last year in New York and Los Angeles.

The Wall Street Journal says, “ “Allen was unaware that AAI was going to utilize his image on its billboard and Web site. Allen was not contacted, nor did he in any way give his consent to the use of his image and likeness, and he was not in any way compensated for the same, either prior to the infringement or thereafter.”

Allen is seeking damages in excess of $10 million.

Kind of excessive if you ask me.
