DEVO SUE MCDONALD'S OVER HAPPY MEAL TOY
Quirky rockers DEVO are suing the bosses of fast food chain McDonald's over the use of the band's likeness in a Happy Meal toy.
The hitmakers claim the American Idol tribute figure, New Wave Nigel, was based on their famous image, as seen in their cult Whip It video .
Devo bass player Gerald Casale, who came up with the band's odd jumpsuited look, says, "We're in the midst of suing them. They didn't ask us anything. Plus, we don't like McDonald's, and we don't like American Idol, so we're doubly offended."
