Café called ‘Dumb Starbucks Coffee' catches attention of real thing

People are getting into long lines in Los Angeles for a new coffee shop that's caught the attention of Starbucks.

LOS ANGELES — The cafe is called Dumb Starbucks Coffee.

The shop features the Starbucks name, logo and even its menu.

The only difference is that the word dumb is before every product name.

It's not known who is behind the shop that opened over the weekend.

A flyer at the store explains it's a legitimate coffee house that is "parody art" to skirt trademark laws.

A spokesperson from Starbucks said though the company appreciates the humor, the shop cannot use  the Starbucks name, which protected under copyright laws.

The company is evaluating what steps to take next.
