Lawsuit of the Day

Posted by Grant Brissey on Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 1:28 PM

This lawsuit is baffling.

The squabble is over a fake letter sent out by Taco Bell Corp. asking 50 Cent to change his name for one day to 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent to help publicize its value menu.

In return, the company offered to donate $10,000 to the charity of his choice. The rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, has sued for trademark infringement.
