    An anchor for Fox News Channel has sued Hasbro Inc for more than $5 million over the company's sale of a plastic toy hamster that shares her name, and which she says resembles her.

    In a complaint filed on Monday, Harris Faulkner, who joined Fox News in 2005, called it "demeaning and insulting" for Hasbro to portray her as a rodent with its Harris Faulkner hamster, and said the toy damages her credibility as a journalist.

    Faulkner also said the hamster bears a "physical resemblance" to her through its complexion, eye shape and eye makeup design, and poses a choking hazard to small children.

    "Harris Faulkner, the uniquely named, acclaimed veteran journalist and author, has worked for decades to establish and maintain her personal brand and laudable professional

    reputation," only to suffer "substantial commercial and emotional damages" from Hasbro's conduct, the complaint said.

    "has worked for decades to establish and maintain her personal brand and laudable professional reputation."

    Says the Fox News "reporter". You are bringing a lawsuit against a toy company for making a hamster in your likeness. Great reputation you are making for yourself. Fox ain't paying you enough?
