There's a decent article on Gothamist about it but I think they're calling it a social statement. Woody is claiming that the "ad" damaged his reputation. American Apparel is saying firstly, that it wasn't an ad, and secondly that if the jury decides that it was an ad, they couldn't have ruined his reputation because it was already in bad shape. I guess you could describe that as ugly but to me it seems clear that this is a 1st Amendment issue that has some big implications. The legal whining on both sides is just a distraction.

A bit of an obvious parody of something? Either way, it seems pretty silly for a guy like Woody to call somebody "sleazy" when you think about who he is.
