Woody Allen In Catfight With American Apparel

Last year, Woody Allen filed suit against local clothing manufacturer American Apparel over the use of his image in advertising billboards. Now things are getting ugly/amusing. From the New York Post:

In a deposition for his $10 million suit against American Apparel, filmmaker Woody Allen called the hipster clothing company’s products “low-end” and their ads “sleazy,” “adolescent” and “infantile.”
