Devo Sues Mickey D’s
July 1st, 2008 by Hannah
Devo is cracking the whip as the 80s rockers are looking to sue McDonald’s because the burger chain allegedly used the band’s likeness in a Happy Meal toy. They’re mad that the fast food chain decided 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 American Idol-themed Happy Meals. The band member who came up with the iconic jump suit says “We’re in the midst of suing them. They didn’t ask us anything.”
