Woody Allen Sues American Apparel
Anyone with a brain can see that this is a joke. A total parody. There’s no way he can win since the right to parody public figures is covered by the First Amendment. At least he’s back in the headlines though. He should probably be thanking American Apparel for the publicity. This is using Woody’s face as the pitch, punchline, and everything else. He has a case. The use of the image combined with the obviously satirical yiddish (our holy leader, or something like that) drops this firmly in the parody camp.
