May 17, 2015•26 min•Season 4Ep. 20
Episode description
This week, we look at Famous Advertising Lawsuits. Because the stakes are so high in the world of marketing, it leads to some interesting - and odd - lawsuits. We’ll tell the story of how an elderly woman sued McDonald’s because her coffee spilled on her lap and why she won the case, how Microsoft came gunning for a 17 year-old Mike Rowe's website with the domain name www.MikeRoweSoft. com, how a Hollywood actress sued a store for tweeting a photo of her shopping there, and the amusing story of Hall & Oates suing a company over a cereal called Haulin’ Oats. Everyone rise, court is in session.
