Four Strange Lawsuits In Rock History
Chubby Checker vs. Hewlett-Packard
Saved the strangest for last! In 2013, Chubby Checker sued Hewlett-Packard for half a billion dollars due to “irreparable damage and harm” under the Communications Decency Act. Why? Because of the Chubby Checker app.
You might be asking yourself, “What’s the Chubby Checker app?”
Well…it was an app that estimated that size of a man’s penis based on the size of his shoes, because rulers are so 20th century. Checker and HP would later settle the lawsuit for an undisclosed amount.
