Harris Faulkner Is Not A Hamster

As I lay dying of boredom the other day, the news came to the rescue. Harris Faulkner, a Fox News anchor, sued Hasbro, Inc. for false endorsement and unfair competition as well as violation of her publicity rights because Hasbro has created, manufactured, and distributed a toy that bears her name without her authorization and over her objection. Ms. Faulkner alleges that doing so has created the misimpression that she is associated with, sponsors, or endorses Hasbro's products and has infringed her right to control her name and likeness.

Ms. Faulkner enjoys a successful career as a journalist, author, motivational speaker, and news anchor. The complaint describes her numerous awards, achievements, and accolades.
