Damn haha. We daaaaaa best

 

[Maninthemirror]

LOL amazing !

 

[sixteen-bit]

We big time now.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Tag needs a link to this thread

 

[kehs]

This is how this stuff becomes bannable. Let's not drive it into the ground.

 

[plantedunicorn]

This is fucking amazing!

 

[FelixOrion]

LMAO dat new tag, mods beat me

just noticed that too, so good

 

[RumblingRosco]

GungHo has now claimed one of the best tags ever.

 

[Dali]

This is how this stuff becomes bannable. Let's not drive it into the ground.

Lol it was driven into the ground weeks ago. Now people are flogging relentlessly while it lies motionless in a ditch.

 

[commedieu]

LMAO dat new tag, mods beat me

 

[Cornballer]

This is amazing. I'm stifling laughter at my desk.

 

[bobbychalkers]

lmao at GungHo's new tag, lawsuit seems a bit silly to me though. I'm not gonna look for the Exxon channel and I won't drive down the street to FXX to fill up. I didn't notice the similarity of the logos until this thread.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Damn it, I was going to post that.

 

[chaosblade]

I was confused as to how GAF could possibly be relevant, but I suppose it makes sense in that context. Still ridiculous (and very funny) to cite an Internet forum.

And yeah, who works for Exxon or their legal team?

 

[dtrush]

rofl

 

[Keru_Shiri]

There's something hilarious about seeing forum posts and internet handles framed within legal boilerplate.

 

[Stinkles]

On FXX tonight:

The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis

[Venfayth]

I've always thought the logo looked similar, also.

Hi mom.

 

[ivysaur12]

I haven't stopped laughing about this all morning.

 

[Stumpokapow]

There's something hilarious about seeing forum posts and internet handles framed within legal boilerplate.

Coming soon to Supreme Court decision near you:

User "ShitlerGokuBongHits666" argues that "estoppel as applied to the doctrine of civil tort is straight up gay as hell, yo"

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

That is pretty surreal.

 

[Prompto]

This is hilarious. I'm trying hard not to laugh in class right now.

 

[GQman2121]

Exxon is a multi billion dollar mega Corp. The idea that they're Googling and using posts from this board in a lawsuit is more than hilarious.

 

[plainr_]

This is the second most hilarious thing I've seen all week.

First one is the key and peele liam neeson sketch.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Your honor, hateradio is a known troll and Sonic furry. Move to strike.

The other side will state that said background is paramount to their case and the relevance will be clear once they present their argument.

 

[LiK]

WTF

 

[Niraj]

LOL awesome

 

[LCGeek]

I might have to email FXX and show them the Exxon mobil symbol is a ripoff of various religious cross symbols. They have no business to be bitching about copyrights when it's not their own design.

 

[RumblingRosco]

Now, all we need is a GAF admin to edit GungHo's post 1 hour before the trial starts with the following: "Full disclosure: I am an employee of ExxonMobil" and FXX will walk away scott-free.

 

[Keru_Shiri]

Coming soon to Supreme Court decision near you:

User "ShitlerGokuBongHits666" argues that "estoppel as applied to the doctrine of civil tort is straight up gay as hell, yo"

I'm now fully expecting to see "ShitlerGokuBongHits666" registered as a username by a future gaffer, someday.

 

[Empty]

great spot haha

 

[Hot Coldman]

Coming soon to Supreme Court decision near you:

User "ShitlerGokuBongHits666" argues that "estoppel as applied to the doctrine of civil tort is straight up gay as hell, yo"

Now I really want to buy an Xbox just to register that as my Gamertag.

 

[syllogism]

Who here works for ExxonMobil?

I think it's likely that the legal aids googled for forum/social media comments relating to the similarity

 

[firehawk12]

Wow, that's hilarious. lol

 

[iAmMaximus]

We've made it guys.

 

[B-Dubs]

This is amazing.

Now the defense gets to be like "Yes, but have you seen Hateradio and Gungho's other posts on GAF? Honor, for your perusal I'd like to present..."

This would be even better!

 

[LordCanti]

This is amazing.

 

[Blablurn]

wow

 

[Dorimukyasuto]

Neogaf is everywhere. Evilore, you will be the World Dictator soon.

That is a world I think I would like to live in.

 

[Mononoke]

I guess my question is, why? Do they really feel like a TV channel is competition for them? What does a TV channel's logo really have to do with them? How would it even impact their business?

Just seems like they are going to lose more money by pursuing this, then simply doing nothing.

 

[JABEE]

Bionic, was it you?

 

[Lonestar]

GungHo's post history will come up in Court. That "Crush on Teacher" topic will really be a heated moment in court.

 

[Kingbrave]

Holy shit!

 

[Kid Ska]

We're famous!

 

[SUPREME1]

That's so cool. Hey Exxon, your logo is getting ripped off. Just like people at the pump.


Put that in your brief, assholes.

Fuck you too, judge!

 

[WascallyWabbit]

GungHo and hateradio deserve to get GAF-gold lifetime membership for free

 

[DietRob]

Oh man, better clean up your post history..

 

[Count Dookkake]

That's so cool. Hey Exxon, your logo is getting ripped off. Just like people at the pump.


Put that in your brief, assholes.

Fuck you too, judge!

lol.

 

[Cyan]

Fuck you too, judge!

Contempt of court, now you going to jail.

Hope it was worth it.

 

[Dan]

I'm glad I'm not the only one laughing at this.

I guess my question is, why? Do they really feel like a TV channel is competition for them? What does a TV channel's logo really have to do with them? How would it even impact their business?

Corporate lawyers justifying their pay, and a theoretical fear that if you don't pursue every single potential violation, they may eventually lose the ability to successfully defend trademarks from truly valid violations.
