Thread: Penny Arcade's Legal Trouble

  1. Penny Arcade's Legal Trouble

    http://www.petitiononline.com/agcbyctt/petition.html

    Apparantly, the American Greetings company got upset over their little parody of American McGee's Alice. I thought it was the funniest thing they've done in a while (go ahead and start saying Penny Arcade isn't funny, but you have to admit that this one is), but AG made them pull the comic. I personally think it's complete bullshit.
    Be that as it may, some PA-head made a petition over it. It probably won't do anything, but I signed it. You should, too. It's parody, and completely legal.

    Now, the mods can go ahead and move this to Sound OFF! if they'd like. I just figured that it's a video game webcomic, so...

  2. Pfff, American McGee sucks anyways. Thats the guys name, which is very lame. I have always thought that PA was funny.
    Barf! Barf! Barf!

  3. It wasn't American McGee suing them... it's American Greetings.
    They make Strawberry Shortcake.
    Apparantly the last thing that twisted the pole in their collective asses was a site that had a "popples.com" url, but redirected to a joke site or something.

  4. That is straight evil.

    I LIKE IT!!

  5. LOL at that petition - PA would be stupid to get into legal trouble with AG, even if they're in the right.

    I like PA, but I don't think that one's all that funny.

  6. It is completely legal and I'm surprised they didn't fight it.

  7. Oh I thought American McGee was getting all snooty for his name being used. I guess I should of clicked the link. And I read American Greetings as American McGee for some reason.

    Well they are using a likeness and the exact name so I am not too suprised, but still.
    Barf! Barf! Barf!

  8. Yeah, it's BS. I kinda saw it coming though, best of luck to those guys with that.

    Between the images in this thread and the "I Knew There Was A ReasonI Had A PS2!" thread TNL is becoming difficult for me to look at right now in school.
    I thought you were gay.... i guess not.

    Pay their lawyers and I'm sure they will.

  10. Yeah, why do you think they pulled the comic?
    If they had happy lawyers, I'm sure it would still be up there.
    It's still bullshit, though.
    Bullshit, says I!
