This week, retired tennis ace Andre Agassi filed a lawsuit again Target Corp. (TGT), the nation's second largest discount retrailer, for the unauthorized use of his "name, image, likeness and other attributes" associated with his namesake on a pair of men's sandals. By the sounds of things, Target isn't even disputing the charge.

A spokesman for Target said that the company has "made every effort to re brand the merchandise in our stores and on Target.com," and is continuing to "rectify the situation."

Because Target also sells their merchandise through Amazon.com, the sandals were also sold there. Agassi's name was attached to approximately 52,000 pairs of the sandals.

Shame on you Target for trying to pull a fast one!
