Woody Allen Sues Over Billboard and Internet Ads
Friday April 4, 2008
Actor and director Woody Allen is suing American Apparel for the company's use of his image in its ad campaign. Allen says he wasn't asked if his image could be used and he wasn't compensated for the billboard and Internet ads that show him dressed as a rabbi.
American Apparel doesn't offer up your typical ads. They even have a provocative ads section within their online newsroom. What do you think of the company's ad strategy? Talk about it.

I don’t like their clothes and I don’t like their ads. They are downright weird and not in a way that attracts good attention to their brand.
This Woody Allen ad is even more weird than their previous ads. No wonder he’s suing. I wouldn’t want people to think I was a part of their ad campaign either!
