50 Cent Sues Taco Bell
50 Cent is suing US fast food restaurant chain Taco Bell for using his name in a so called guerrilla advertising campaign. The "In Da Club" singer (real name Curtis Jackson), is asking for over one million dollars in damages from the company - who asked him to change his name to 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent to promote their food.

The suit reads: "Taco Bell traded on the name of the world's biggest hip-hop star to draw attention to its new, hip-hop-based advertising campaign, and thereby generated massive publicity for its business.'"

Taco Bell President Greg Creed wrote to the singer earlier this year, promising to donate $10,000 to his favorite charity if he agreed to change his professional tag. He wrote: "We know that you adopted the name 50 Cent years ago as a metaphor for change. We at Taco Bell are also huge advocates for change. We encourage you to "Think Outside the Bun" and hope you accept our offer."

50 Cents is upset his fans are accusing him of "selling out" by agreeing to promote the brand’s value menu, not realizing the adverts were unauthorized.

In July 2007, he filed a $1 million lawsuit accusing an Internet ad company of using his image without permission in a game called "Shoot the Rapper," in which the player pretends to shoot him.

The game shows 50 Cent walking in an ad across the top of a Web page while the viewer is encouraged to shoot him by aiming and clicking with the mouse, the rapper's court papers said; a successful shot results in a misty cloud of red, and then the viewer is directed to another Web page, where the ad firm's clients sell goods and services.

It might seem ridiculous for Taco Bell to ask 50 Cent to change his name to a higher currency, but with the way economy has been lately and the inflation going full force, it seems not so unreasonable. From 50 Cent to 89 Cent - Yo Quiero Taco Bell.

Hot Chords sounds are fixed as well. Some visitors had issues with the chords actually playing, so the script that was running the sounds was redone and should be working properly. The best thing to do is to let the page fully load before playing the sound to avoid any possible issues. If you still hear no sounds, refresh the page and let it load, until you see nothing displayed in the left corner of your status bar. You can check out these chords by clicking here ( Hot Chords ).
