Devo Chicken Out of McDonalds Law Suit

8 Jul 2008

It's the biggest rip off of Devo that you can imagine.
"New Wave Nigel" is a character created by mega-chain McDonalds to promote a new American Idol competition/Happy Meal and takes its inspiration from Devo's notorious "flower-pot head" image as seen in videos for "Whip It!" and "Girl U Want".
No surprises that Devo were up in arms.
But here's the surprise. Devo will not be suing. Despite the fact they could make millions.
It screams, out of court settlement.
Anyway, Planet Rock looks forward to interviewing Devo when they hit Australia next month...
