1. "we don't like McDonald's, and we don't like American Idol, so we're doubly offended."
I hope you've got MacDonalds jerking back and forth!

:rofl:

9. See the pic - I think the costume designers in 'Back to the Future II' can get some money out of it
Lets see, how many other entities of the 80s can claim stupid lawsuits?

I mean, if that lady could spill hot coffee into her lap, sue, and win big, so can anybody else I suppose...

3. Whip 'em good!
Two degrees of Devo separation: Mark Mothersbaugh doubles as an artist. While on Maui, he befriended a local artist who I know through his stepmom.

6. I kinda want that toy.
I would scratch the American idol logo off, of course.

8. How is it infringement? Devo's spunky hat is a deep red. Not prissy orange.

Uh-oh. Will the graphic designer who came up with that smilie be sued too?

10. I would immediately think "DEVO" if I saw that toy
In my not-a-lawyer opinion, they've got a case...

7. I have one word for that.
Sex.

Whoops, wrong word...

Sell-outs. Devo just wanted more money from Mickey D to sell their flower pot hats they say gave them sexual prowess. (Look it up, it's true! :crazy: )
