Rapper 50 Cent ran for the lawyers instead of the border when fast food chain Taco Bell used his name and likeness in a promotional campaign without permission. Basically, Taco Bell asked 50 to change his name to 79 or 99 Cent -- in line with the prices of their value menu -- for a publicity stunt. Instead of saying "yes" or "no" to the offer, 50 said "meet my lawyers." 50 eventually won his lawsuit.
