A Florida personal injury lawyer has filed a federal lawsuit against Hewlett-Packard on behalf of rock and roll icon Ernest Evans, better known as Chubby Checker, over an app developed for webOS that "adversely affects Chubby Checker's brand and value and if allowed to continue, will cause serious damage to the Plaintiff's goodwill and will tarnish his image that he has worked to maintain over the last 50 years." That app, called the "Chubby Checker," allows users to enter a man's shoe size to estimate the size of his penis. Evans' attorney is seeking half a billion dollars in damages.

According to the website webOS Nation, HP claims it pulled the app from its app store and the App Catalog in September 2012, and it is no longer available. The 99¢ application was purchased fewer than 100 times; HP took a profit of approximately 30¢ per download.

The lawsuit claims that despite multiple complaints, HP "refused to dismantle the operation, and, therefore, continues to perpetuate degrading and derogatory content directly linked to Chubby Checker."

In a statement on the case, attorney Willie Gary said, "This lawsuit is about preserving the integrity and legacy of a man who has spent years working hard at his musical craft and has earned the position of one of the greatest musical entertainers of all time. 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."
