Louis Vuitton vs Hangover 2

Who hasn't watch Hangover 2?

No? Okay you can go kill youself!


Just joking. Hangover 2 is one of the most anticipated movie this year mainly because of the great success of the first movie. Here are the cast:-
Justin Bartha
Zach Galifianakis
Bradley Cooper
Ed Helms
For those who have watched the movie, anyone remember the funny part where Alan (played by Zach Galifianakis) mispronounced Louis Vuitton as LEWIS VUITTON?


Well Louis Vuitton took action against Warner Brothers, the producers of Hangover 2 for using a knockoff (fake bag) LV bag in the movie as well as the mispronunciation of the word 'Louis'.


It was reported in Reuters last Wednesday. 


To the delight of the law, the judge dismissed the case saying the use of the bag and the pronunciation of the name fits the character in the movie and was purely for humor purposes. 


A lot of online news site reported on this. 


Read the articles here at Reuters & UK Telegraph.


Here is the scene where you can see the infamous LV luggage bags!

After reading this, I wonder that if the original designers know about the 'designer inspired' dresses sold online here, what would their reaction be?


Just my thought of the day =)
