If you watch any TV, my guess is you have probably seen the commercials for the lovely multi purpose cleaner BAM! The first time I saw the this product I about die laughing, and could only think of our friend Bam Margera.

Today I happened to stumble across an interesting little bit of information on who actually owns the rights to the phrase "BAM", and I think you're going to be suprised.

Emeril Lagasse!

You know, the Emeril Lagasse "Emeril's Food of Love" Emeril. The company owns the right to the phrase "Bam!" for its use on just about anything you can find in a drawer or cabinet in your kitchen: pans, pots, spatulas and tongs.

BUT, here is the fine print: Emeril's rights to the phrase uses an exclamation point!

As you may know Bam Margera legally changed his name from 'Brandon Margera' to 'Bam Margera'. I wonder if he has any claim to BAM without the exclamation point?
