Allen Sues


Woody Allen on Monday sued American Apparel Inc, claiming the U.S. clothing company used his image in advertising on billboards and the Internet without his consent or compensation. This is not a recent thing. The billboard that you see, here, was erected in the spring of 2007. It's from "Annie Hall." The caption reads "Exalted Rabbi" or "Most Holy Rabbi." Also, note that the billboard is on "Allen St." in NYC. I wonder how this will sell tube socks? Woody should be glad to have his mug plastered in public. After all, his star is not shining as it once was!
