Remember this?

The war between Woody Allen and American Apparel rages on, and it's getting more and more personal. AA's defense to Allen's demand for $10 million for the unauthorized use of his image in their advertising? Well, basically, that they couldn't possibly have ruined his image worse than he did his own damn self with the whole Soon-Yi Previn fiasco.

Mia Farrow did not stand between them for long.

Moreover, AA's lawyers are requesting documents surrounding the scandal of yore, including nude photos he allegedly took of Previn... They'll never get them.

But if they did how many hot seconds would it take before they were on a billboard with tube socks Photoshopped onto them?

How could they possibly think to use the man's photo without compensating him. Is that company run by an idiot?
Wait ...yes it is!

I refuse to shop at or wear anything from American Apparel. That company is run by foul nasty people.

But this is pretty much an awesome train wreck of nasty people.

So if I use images of their brand and clothing designs any way I want to, they can't sue me, right? Because they already ruined their reputation by using Woody Allen's image without permission. Right?
