Ca-Rack That Whip!

80's New Wave nerds DEVO are cracking the legal whip on McDonald's. McDonald's allegedly used the group's likeness for one of their happy meal toys called "New Wave Nigel". The toy was made for their American Idol themed Happy Meals, and looked like DEVO in their video for Whip It.

The band member who came up with the iconic jump suited look is quoted as saying, "We're in the midst of suing them. They didn't ask us anything."

Don't McDonald's know you can't just go around stealing other people's ideas? Wonder if DEVO is gonna walk with some serious denero...
