Chubby Checker Suing for $500 Million Over App Name Flap

Hewlett Packard is in trouble with a Rock ‘n’ Roll pioneer.

Chubby Checker is suing the company for $500 million over their penis estimator app, saying that it led users to believe he endorsed it.

The “Chubby Checker” allowed users to enter a man’s foot size for an estimation of his endowment, according to

“The application was not created by HP or Palm,” said HP. “It was removed in September 2012 and is no longer on any Palm or HP hosted web site,” according to Rolling Stone.
