Devo (remember them?) is suing McDonalds

[CatWoman]

Devo are cracking that whip!

The 80's rockers are suing McDonald's because the burger chain allegedly used the band's likeness in a Happy Meal toy.

They're angry at the fast food chain's decision to use them as a marketing tool.

Apparently, the golden arches produced a toy called New Wave Nigel, who looks a lot like the Devo boys in the music video for the song Whip It, for some Americal Idol-themed Happy Meals.

The band member who came up with the iconic jump suit look is quoted as saying, "We're in the midst of suing them. They didn't ask us anything."

Will the Devo boys whip it good and walk away with lots of bucks?

McDonald's sure has the $$$$!

4. Good.

I did not truly understand Devo until I went to Akron. Before that I liked them, now I am in awe of them.
