Iconic director Woody Allen is suing American Apparel for $10 million in damages from the unauthorized use of his image. Billboards like the one pictured above have appeared in both New York and California, as well as online, as part of their latest ad campaign. Not a surprise to see AA embroiled in controversy. It pretty much seems to follow them, and of course that’s all by design. With billboards like this. it’s not surprising. I’m not a lawyer and certainly don’t claim to know all the facts of Allen’s lawsuit, but on the surface it sure seems like a pretty dick move by AA.
