Flora-Bama bout to do in dry

A landmark beach bar on the Florida-Alabama state line is suing MTV's popular "Floribama Shore" show for trademark infringement. Companies that run the Flora-Bama Lounge on Perdido Key filed suit this week in Pensacola, Florida, against Viacom Inc. and producers of the MTV show. The federal lawsuit contends the show's name is so similar to the bar that it's confusing. The suit says operators of the 55-year-old bar refused to let the show use its name, so producers adopted a show title that's just one letter and a hyphen mark off.

Agreed. There is little likelihood of confusion between a TV show and a bar.

As bad of publicity it already gets, more bad publicity is good publicity

I disagree. I was flipping through the channel guide the other day, saw it and thought, hey, they made a show about the Flora-Bama. Watched 10 minutes, got exponentially stupider and went on with my flipping. I hope they win.

No shite. The place is a tourist attraction. There are no doubt idiots who ask about the show, which annoys them. And the reverse, people think the show has something to do with the bar.
I don't doubt either that the show asked them first. Flori-Bama is not the name of the region. The show is in Panama City Beach. People call it lots of other things, PCB, the Panhandle, Lower Alabama, North Florida, the Wiregrass, the Tri-states, the Gulf, the Gulf Coast, the Emerald Coast... not Flori-Bama. Thats the semi-famous bar. They probably were trying to profit off it

Tell that to Sports Bar.

The show devalues the worth of the bar. Who wants to associate themselves with MTV besides Jersey trash?
