I heard McDonald's were suing Nickelodeon over Crabypatties, as some people call McDonald's cheeseburgers Crapypatties. The two things are too similar according to them.

I would also like to see the source for this.

Hot Stuff Foods paid "Mean Gene" to use his name and likeness for a fast food chain. So they can't sue him.

His name has been associated with fast food chain, Mean Gene’s Burgers, and a chain of pizzerias located within bowling alleys, Mean Gene’s Pizza. These are owned by Hot Stuff Foods, which appears to be in the process of phasing out the brands, having removed all references to them from their website early in 2006.

I could go for one of those burgers right about now.

I bet Okerlund didn't see this one coming on his hotline.

"MEAN GENE" IN LEGAL BATTLE WITH "HOT STUFF"

"Mean Gene" Okerlund is being sued by "Hot Stuff Foods" in a dispute over a personal endorsement deal Okerlund signed to promote "Mean Gene Burgers".
"Hot Stuff" says they have paid Okerlund over $1,000,000 to appear at events and in advertisements calling the food products "the burger that says bite me".
The dispute is over Okerlund's alleged attempt to solicit "Hot Stuff" vendors in an effort to bypass "Hot Stuff" and to deal directly with the vendors.

We have a Mean Gene's Burgers at my college. Basically, it tastes just like Burger King.
