Barney Rubble's tearful testimony did not sway the judge

Verdict in the Hulk vs. Cereal lawsuit.

September 30, 2010 at 5:04PM

Hulk sue! Hulk settle lawsuit! Hulk not disclose terms! Oh, wait, wrong Hulk:

Terms were not revealed. They're never revealed. No one ever says "we took a hundred dollars to walk away. Pathetic, isn't it? I'm a horrible lawyer." Here's the ad.

The character is also called Bulk Boulder, which is close enough to Hulk Hogan. Tony Curtis was "Stony Curtis" in the Flintstones show once, you know. Everyone's name was changed to resemble stone, because that's how people named themselves back then: with terms that reflected the predominate manufacturing materials. Just like people today have last names like "carbon-fiber composites."
