    • Wow AA is even more retarded than I thought!

      "``Woody Allen expects $10 million for use of his image on billboards that were up and down in less than one week. I think Woody Allen overestimates the value of his image,'' Slotnick said."

      I think you underestimate the value of a law! Who cares whether or now Wood Allen's image is worth 10mil, hes trying to make a statement that AA cannot just take his image and use it whenever they like. I think they need someone over there to quit making bad myspace photos and open a law book.

      "Slotnick said it was not a cheap shot to bring up Allen's sex life in a lawsuit over the billboard and Internet ads."

      No Im pretty sure that is what one would call a cheap shot. Try again please.

    • Say what you will, this is the greatest literary mind of our time. If you look back in history and compare the actions of some of the greatest artists, he is very mild in behavour. Would you rather he beat up women or race through red lights for blow jobs? Is that your hero? Woody deserves not to be associated with and certainly not downplayed by a little clothing company who uses personal attacks against kleinman as a campaign platform. Stupid is as American Apparel does.

    • Big companies should know the legal processes to using someone's picture in advertising to avoid a fiasco like this.
      Woody is over reacting, what can he possible do with $10 million at the age of 73.
