Exclaim! reports that Devo bassist Gerald Casale is quite offended with one of the new McDonald’s American Idol toys. “New Wave Nigel,” as the figurine is called, sports a red flowerpot hat not unlike – well, exactly like – the “Energy Domes” designed by Casale for the band.

Ironically, Devo has always satirized and poked fun at consumerist culture and popular trends. They have taken the corporate giant to court over copyright infringement, and there is no word on whether New Wave Nigel will be pulled from the shelves.

Other dolls in the Idol series include Disco Dave and Country Clay.
