Devo Suing McDonalds
This is absofuckinglutely ludicrous...
Post-punk pioneers
Devo
say they are suing McDonald's in the US over a Happy Meal doll that sports the band's signature red flower pot hat.
In April the fast food chain released a series of American Idol Happy Meal toys in the US based on a range of music genres, including Disco Dave, Country Clay, Rockin' Riley and Soulful Selma.
Devo's complaint relates to New Wave Nigel, a toy kitted out in an orange jumpsuit, pink shades, and Devo's "energy dome" hat.
The band also allege that the toy plays a "Devo-esque song".

My 2 cents:
Give me a friggen break. they aren't directy ripping off Devo. It's not like they're stealing a specific Devo hit without permission its just silly doll.
It's not like they haven't sold their souls already anyways.... Anyone remember Devo's Disney group Devo 2.0?
