"We cannot sit idly and watch as technology giants or anyone else exploits the name or likeness of an innocent person with the goal of making millions of dollars. The Defendants have marketed Chubby Checkers' name on their product to gain a profit and this just isn't right," ...

"Chubby Checker and his legal representation are seeking $500 million in damages. However, WebOS Nation reports that the app, which was supposedly pulled in September of 2012, was downloaded less than one hundred times."

Remind me again, who is exploiting who for money?

WHen I heard Chubby checker, the first thing I thought was a way to check the size of your chubby. And I never saw the app before in my life of heart about it.

So what Damages? How can you have damages on a stupid stage name? Obviously when he picked his name he didn't think it through. Its like one of those bad named chinese restraints.


Anyways the guy is only after money. And HP does not have much of a user base, so what damages? maybe only less then 1% of people who have smart devices might of seen that application. Very small percent. He should be lucky it was not on Android. and in fact someone should release this app on Android just for that reason since he is acting like a guy with a small tinny chubby.


BTW, who the F makes a app to check your penis size? What the hell where they thinking. Come on there is more useful things to make then that. stop wasting good talent on crap.

His song is named after what I do to my "chubby" when I'm lonely?

And give it "The Twist."

Sorry, I never post here, but this is utterly sad.

[citation][nom]DookieDraws[/nom]I wonder if he would have sued if they had named the app Chubby Pecker?[/citation]
That wouldnt make much sense, chubby checker means it is checking your chubby. Pecker checker would work though.

PS: Why is he suing HP and not the developer that named it chubby checker?

Well it is one way to get his name in the news again give that no one had even heard or thought of him in years. The whole lawsuit is just a way to get his name known again and nothing else.
