Under the Influence with Terry O'Reilly

S4E20 - Sue Me, Sue You Blues: Famous Advertising Lawsuits


Listen Later

This week, we look at Famous Advertising Lawsuits. Because the stakes are so high in the world of marketing, it leads to some interesting - and odd - lawsuits. We’ll tell the story of how an elderly woman sued McDonald’s because her coffee spilled on her lap and why she won the case, how Microsoft came gunning for a 17 year-old Mike Rowe's website with the domain name www.MikeRoweSoft. com, how a Hollywood actress sued a store for tweeting a photo of her shopping there, and the amusing story of Hall & Oates suing a company over a cereal called Haulin’ Oats. Everyone rise, court is in session.
