Dirt Dog has been issued a cease-and-desist order from BBC Studios, which licenses the \u201cBluey\u201d animated kids show, airing in the US on Disney+.<\/p>\n

The tiny, off-Strip fast-food eatery made international headlines<\/a> earlier this month for disappointing a reported 3,000 people with its unauthorized promotion to \u201cmeet Bluey & friends,\u201d who star in the Australian cartoon about a Blue Heeler puppy.<\/p>\n

Waiting at the end of a very long line to meet the kids was a dude attired in a plastic dime-store onesie and what was apparently a dog-poop bag affixed to his face.<\/p>\n

The restaurant promised a do-over of its May 11 debacle with a “real\u201d Bluey. But it will no longer be able to honor that promise.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo prevent all further harm, BBC Studios demands that you cancel all planned BLUEY DAY events and that you immediately and permanently cease offering any services or products in connection with or that use in any way the BLUEY mark, any confusingly similar variations thereof, and\/or any images of characters that are the exclusive intellectual property of Ludo Studio,\u201d read the court order, which was obtained by KVVU-TV\/Las Vegas.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI was mad,” young Sophia Hernandez told KVVU-TV\/Las Vegas.<\/em> “He looked unexpected. We could see his beard.\u201d (Image: KVVU-TV<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What in the Bluey Blazes?<\/h2>\n

Not that any of the parents who attended the first \u201cBluey Day\u201d would have attended the second one anyway. Their social media comments expressed unbridled rage at Dirt Dog for its gall.<\/p>\n

\u201cTemu Bluey costume and decorations from Dollar Tree,\u201d wrote Kevin Tagenhorst below the event\u2019s Facebook ad. \u201cThanks for ruining my 3-year-old\u2019s day!\u201d
\n
\n<\/strong>\u201cYou pissed off a community of parents,\u201d added Leiren Theroux. \u201cI\u2019ll never be back to your establishment. My daughter was super disappointed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI drove one hour just to see a grown man in PJs,\u201d another parent wrote, while yet another posted a Facebook marketplace listing for a proper Bluey costume the eatery could have rented for $85.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
