Hells Angels sue Disney over cartoon controversy

(KP International) - The infamous Hells Angels Motorcycle Corporation's founding branch in California is suing Walt Disney Co, claiming the club's trademark name and logo are being used in a film without their permission.
The motorcycle club filed suit with the US District Court in California last Wednesday (March 8) for infringement of the group's trademark in the production of the upcoming film 'Wild Hogs,' currently in production.
The Angels say they were never given a script for the film to approve the use of their name and insignias a skull wearing a helmet with horns and feathers. The group also claims that the studio repeatedly used its name and logo in publicity material for the film.
Disney spokesperson David Caouette said that the Hells Angels claims are without merit.
'Wild Hogs' is about a group of middle-aged biker wannabes who stumble across a chapter of the real Hells Angels. Set to star in the movie are 'Be Cool' star John Travolta, 'Home Improvement' star Tim Allen and Martin Lawrence.
As always, your thoughts?
