There are several articles discussing the recent mythical
lawsuit of New Wave Nigel, the Happy Meal Toy that wears an
energy dome. They have resolved their differences now which
can only mean that McDonalds will be sponsoring their tour.
Free Happy Meal coupons for all who attend!

Int: You mention the iconic nature of your energy dome hats. There’s
something on your website about McDonalds releasing a toy that looks
suspiciously like it’s based on Devo. Have you spoken to McDonald’s
about that?

Gerry: Yep, it’s called New Wave Nigel, and they ripped us off, and
we’re suing them.

The lawsuit is trademark infringement. Give DEVO more money. They
deserve it more than you do, sayers of nay.
