This Stranger Things’ Themed Bar Receives A “Very Friendly” Cease-And-Desist Letter From Netflix
A show is launched, people watch, binge-watch and the popularity increases. The fans go above and beyond to exhibit their love for the show. This is what happened with Netflix-original drama, Stranger Things. It received so much love from the viewers!
A bunch of ‘Stranger Things’ fans opened a pop-up bar, the design of which incorporated everything their favorite show depicts! They might attract many customers, but unfortunately, Netflix wasn’t pleased with their idea and sent them a cease-and-desist letter.
You might imagine this letter to be very formal stating strict facts and rules about the concern. However, we are talking about Netflix, they had to be innovative here too!
The letter mentioned all the concerns in a very creative and friendly way!
The letter started as, “My walkie-talkie is busted so I had to write this note instead. I heard you launched a Stranger Things pop-up bar at your Logan Square location.”
We are already loving the mention of walkie-talkie here!
They stated their point by writing, “You’re obviously creative types, so I’m sure you can appreciate that it’s important to us to have a say in how our fans encounter the worlds we build.”
The owners might have put a lot of thought behind this bar, but forgot to take permission from the ones who own the show. This might be because the fans get too excited and take impulsive decisions.
The letter explained to them the issue with their pop-up bar and what they need to do further to avoid any trouble.
It read, “We’re not going to go full Dr. Brenner on you, but we ask that you please (1) not extend the pop-up beyond its 6 week run ending in September, and (2) reach out to us for permission if you plan to do something like this again.”
The lawyer finally ended the letter by asking to inform them when they will follow these requests. The final words were, “Please don’t make us call your mom.”
This is a really witty way to get your work done without hurting the feeling of the person on the other side. Netflix has a lot to offer than just the amazing shows! This letter is proof.
Watch the show as many times you want. Just don’t act spontaneously and open a bar around its theme (unless you have permission, of course!).
