Schwarzenegger Settles Bobblehead Lawsuit

[kskiska]

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has settled a lawsuit against an Ohio firm that produces bobblehead dolls in his image.

The former Hollywood actor, who is fiercely protective of his image on the stump and on the screen, sued Ohio Discount Merchandise Inc. in April to halt production of the plastic dolls that featured a gun-toting Schwarzenegger in a business suit.

Under the new agreement, Ohio Discount can produce Schwarzenegger-the-politician dolls - without the gun. The $19.99 dolls will be available online, a statement from the company said.

Ohio Discount also agreed to donate a portion of sales to Schwarzenegger's nonprofit Arnold All-Stars after-school program in Los Angeles.

1. Guess I'll hang on to my gun-toting version. It might appreciate in value.

Or not. After all, it's just a puffed up, mirror-addicted fascist we're talking about here.

4. I just checked ebay... They're going for $100.00 right now...

Will probably go up even more by tonight. :thumbsup:

2. Darn those frivolous lawsuits by Republlicans! I bet

Schwarzenegger would even have hired a trial lawyer if the case went to court!

3. So will Ahnold have to behave less bobble-headed in kind?

Seems fair.
