Devo suing McDonalds

Just read in this trib article that our mutant heroes Devo are suing McDonalds. I'm very excited about this because I'm excited about everything Devo does, but especially when they simultaneously buck the corporate conmen and ask for money. I really don't get it when people say "Devo sold out" or get mad about a commercial - they never said they wouldn't sell out, that's the whole point of Devo. Use the corporate culture against itself and meanwhile save our mutant souls. Devo gives us spudboys and spudgirls a way to cope with commercial sameness and bland mainstream culture by feeding it to itself, making it a cannibalistic dada mess that we can all sit back and laugh at. We are Devo!
