Pink hotel in trouble
for ‘Flintstone Room’
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — A federal
judge must decide if the reputa
tions of Fred, Wilma and their
friends — as well as the sanctity
of the phrase “Yabba Dabba
Doo! ” — are being damaged by a
motel offering guests a night in
the “Flintstone Room.”
Hanna-Barbera Productions
Inc. filed suit last week against
the Madonna Inn of San Luis
Obispo, a pink motel on the
Central California coast, for
copyright infringement of the
cartoon characters.
The suit charged the Madon
na Inn’s “Flintstone Room” fea
tures the word Flintstone,
likenesses of Fred and Wilma
and the phrase “Yabba Dabba
Do (sic),” which Fred yells out
“when he is especially pleased or
excited.”
Hanna-Barbera’s attorneys
are asking for an unspeciFied
amount of monetary damages
and an injunction prohibiting
the Madonna Inn from using
the likenesses of Fred and Wil
ma as well as the words “Yabba
Dabba Doo,” whether it is spel
led with one “O” or two.
“They haven’t got a leg to
stand on,” motel owner Alexan
der Madonna said of the suit.
Madonna said he has had the
“Flintstone Room” in operation
for 10 years.
