Woody Allen on Monday sued American Apparel Inc, claiming the U.S. clothing company used his image in advertising on billboards and the Internet without his consent.

The billboard ads, which depict Allen dressed as a rabbi, appeared in New York and California,
according to the suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.

Allen said in the suit he was neither contacted by the company, nor compensated for the use of his image. He is seeking damages in excess of $10 million, according to the suit.

Carlos:

If falwell didn't get anything when the same thing happened with hustler, woody shouldn't count on that money quite yet. He's a public figure, this takes me back to marketing 101.
