HP sued by Chubby Checker over webOS penis size app
A Florida personal injury lawyer has filed a Federal lawsuit against Hewlett-Packard on behalf of rock and roll icon Ernest Evans, better known as Chubby Checker, over an app developed for webOS that "adversely affects Chubby Checker's brand and value and if allowed to continue, will cause serious damage to the Plaintiff's goodwill and will tarnish his image that he has worked to maintain over the last 50 years." That app, called the "Chubby Checker," allows users to enter a man's shoe size to estimate the size of his penis. Evans' attorney is seeking half a billion dollars in damages.
According to the website webOS Nation, HP claims it pulled the app from its app store and the App Catalog in September 2012, and it is no longer available. The 99¢ application was purchased fewer than 100 times; HP took a profit of approximately 30¢ per download.
