The musical band LMFAO is challenging
a craft brewery in Michigan called Pigeon Hill Brewing
Company over a beer which the brewery named the "LMFAO
Stout". The term LMFAO is not unique to the band.
That acronym is commonly used in pop culture as a "LOL"
variant suggesting laughing one's hiney off. The
band, comprised of an uncle-nephew duo, is known for "Party
Rock Anthem" and "I'm Sexy and I Know It", among
other dance favorites. The band was even nominated for Best
Dance/Electronic Album at the 2010 GRAMMY®
Awards. True to partying form, the band is reported to have
found out about the nomination while on a bender in Miami.
In the brewery's case, their beer is known to customers as
"LMFAO Stout" to mean "Let Me Fetch An Oatmeal"
Stout. Other names given to the brewery's craft beers
include "Fuggly Good Looker", "Shifting Sands,"
"Skeeter on My Wheater" and "Snoring Basset
Brown." Pigeon Hill filed trademark applications on
these names as well as the mark
