The Dov Jokes About a Woody

American Apparel has come up with an answer for why the Jew Yorker was featured on billboards for the sexually explicit brand, it was a joke.

The Daily News reports, “American Apparel is certainly not marketing their casual wear to Orthodox, black hat rabbis,” said the California company’s lawyer Stuart Slotnick.

The 72-year-old Allen says he never gave the company permission to use an image from the movie “Annie Hall” on billboards in Los Angeles and New York. The billboards have come down, but the image is on the Internet.

American Apparel says the billboards were meant as parody and therefore fair game for anyone to use.

Whether the lawsuit will continue is anyones guess but you’d think that Woody Allen would have a sense of humor. Besides most American Apparel shoppers have no idea who the fuck Allen is, they probably missed the joke completely and figured it was just some photo of a rabbi, not as funny I’m sure, but the comedy in imagining Allen being pissed at Dov is classic.

Jew Screws American Apparel

Hit & miss director Woody Allen seems to have some series problems with the Dov.  He doesn’t want his name, or face, associated with American Apparel and he’s none too pleased that the house that photos of half-naked sweaty, herpes victims built is using his image to hawk over priced tees. The company used an image from his 1977 film Annie Hall on a few of their billboards back in May and Woody recently filed suit seeking $10 million in damages, or the cumulative amount his films have made since Annie Hall.  Apparently, $30 t-shirts and neon lycra body suits are not kosher.
