NEW YORK - In what must be perceived as the latest in a series of pratfalls for the fading supergroup WANG, the members of the boy band were slapped with a lawsuit yesterday, lawyers confirmed. The band's lawyers said that they couldn't comment on the nature of the lawsuit at the time but a source claimed that the complaint centered around an incident at a recent "brag session" when band associate "Pyle" allegedly set off some type of explosive device at the Tin Alley restaurant in Garden City, NY. According to several witness accounts, at approximately 9:11 Thursday night, an ominous odor was detected by the waitstaff. Fear of a biological attack quickly spread throughout the restaurant, and mass confusion ensued. The parking lot became filled with running and screaming patrons, while the WANG band members allegedly stayed in their seats, snickering. Overheard by one distressed patron was band member Mike Plia saying "Yo. You know what they call a lawsuit in Arizona?" The witness said she was too frantic to stand around and find out what a lawsuit is referred to in Arizona. Calls to Mike Plia's home were not returned.

Other band members were using the terms "frivolous" to describe the impending lawsuit, while Big John said that the plaintiffs were "just touching themselves," and The Cat threatened to cancel his upcoming barbecue and put anyone who had a problem into a "torture rack." Whether this suit ever goes to trial remains to be seen, but it has become clear that not all is well with the once great WANG. Other issues facing the band in the past year include:

Rampant cheating at game nights. Band member Tubby has vowed to abstain from all future games of "Guesstures," while Mike V and Pounder have been banned from any Outburst competitions. Also, Superdave has been disqualified for refusing to accept that "douche" is NOT the answer to every question.

Suits and Countersuits. Although Tubby and The Cat reportedly have settled Coolergate out of court, former bragsite Bennigan's is suing the band for breach of contract. The band is countersuing, claiming poor service and that said contract became null and void once the restaurant ran out of Dr. Pepper and Cathy quit.

Where are they now? Band manager Mike V vehemently denies that WANG has broken up, however their fan base has clearly diminished due to the fact that the band has not put out a new album in nearly two years, and have not performed a concert in over 16 months. Sources claim that the band has been unable to perform since Cartesian Collins was told by doctors that he developed laryngitis, and although he has since recovered, he has vowed to never sing again until he figures out to spell that word. Conflicting rumors state that the band is just waiting for The Cat to cough up those drums he claims he has so they can begin work on a new record. Further conflicting rumors claim that "booby groupies" Gipper and Talkta have kept the band distracted with their mammoth mammorys to such a degree that they cannot come up with any other lyrics besides "mmmmm… boobies…"
