Why the fuck is Ant's logo still a Guinness parody?

It was cute for the initial roll out, but is he seriously building his brand around a beer parody?

Because Guinness hasn't sued yet. Only 634 people are subscribed. None of them have reported the copyright infringement.

It'd be funny if they jumped on the current anti-Anthony bandwagon and handed him another massive bill to pay.

They should partner and he could be their spokesman. A drunken woman beater is the perfect fit for an Irish beer.

I thought the same thing the first time I saw it. How have they not sued him yet? Oh yeah, because no one has seen it.

I can't tell if you're joking or those are the actual numbersssssss.

If those are the real numbers, Ant makes around $53,000 a year.

Perhaps more than that, Triangle

i love this sub

Minus costs

He only has that many subscribers? Jesus

You people can't be this fucking stupid!

Look at what sub you're on kid, all these nerds paid for xm, I get it free from youtube

You are the man

It is considered parody/satire so he's protected legally. If he were to sell beer and used that logo then there could be issues.

This is not entirely true

This is completely wrong. Opie, confirm I'm right here.

Think about your family. Think about your friends. Think beyond the moment!

Keep on thinking that, it's what keeps lawyers in business.

Because there isn't a single creative soul working there.

Ripped off guiness for his logo but drinks Bud Light like a sad old divorced guy.

::looks down at beer bottle; frowns::

You should. That overpriced clown piss is retarded.

But if you plan on drinking 15 of them its good

You could just drink 1 of something actually alcoholoc

I recommend a good Trappist product. Can't go wrong there.

It's like $18 for a 30 pack and it's less shitty than the alternatives in the same price range. Plus I can get BL anywhere, I have to actually make an effort to get "good" beer.

guinness and bud light same abv -- 4.3%

fa la lala

Now we're talking uncensored!

The man hired his house boy former cop friend to produce his radio show. He has no fucking clue.

just be happy it isnt in goodfella's font

Isn't that all of the AC networks logos though?

Anthony - Guiness

NY Crime Report - NY Post logo

Davey Mac - GI Joe Cobra head with Star Wars font underneath

Etc.

And it makes them look bush league. I wouldn't start a band and have my logo be a Pepsi parody, and have that on every one of my album covers.

I'm a graphic designer, so you know I agree 100%. Carolla went out and had someone make his own logo and graphics immediately and set a brand. How can AC brand using another brands image? A merch T-Shirt would be fine, everyone does that. He lives in NYC, he could have had tons of people to pick from for a very small price. His logo / graphic are Oqie Radio bad.

They ARE bush league. And that's all they ever will be. Its an irrelevant podcast network that maybe 1000 people give a shit about.

What if you were making vaporwave?

Its funny how some people call different color variations in graphics. By "vapor wave" do you mean gradient (when a color gradually fades into white or another color)? Or are you talking about something else? I'm in the print industry and I hear different types of descriptions of these things, and it's interesting to hear how they change based on where the person is from (west coast, east coast, etc..)

Vaporwave is a music genre. Ripping off and altering other people's sound/imagery is the core concept behind it. It is kind of hard to explain, so you can just watch this video if you're interested.

Anyway, Ant should really give Keith the axe. The show and the network is stagnating and slowly dying because Keith doesn't know what the fuck he is doing. I understand that Anthony doesn't want to fire his long time friend who helped him start TACS. At this point we all know that Anthony tries to avoid conflict and would rather suffer in silence than create uncomfortable situations. He put up with The Titster's shit for 10+ years, for crying out loud! But it just stupid to trust the success of your only income creating business venture to an amateur like Keith. Get it together, Cumia!

Also, get a regular co-host or get a few of regular co-host on a rotation. Don't wait until October for Jim, cause he's probably not coming. Even if he is, then at this pace the show will be dead.

Interesting, thank you for your reply. I never knew that type of music. I do like some atmospheric type sounding dubstep, but mostly listen to old school rap these days. I'll check out the video when I'm on my comp.

I agree witb your sentiments about ant, he has too many yes men feeding off of his fame and fortune, and as they say, when you feed a sucker or a leech, you only help them grow into a bigger leech. A bigger leech takes more food to sustain. Now, look at the monster leech he created with Dani Golightly, she is now in a position to potentially sue him (if he's convicted, if he doesn't settle out of court), and he promoted her lifestyle with tons of cash!

Although I like Norton, at this point, precious Yimmy would ostracize himself from all of his comic friends and opportunities if he came on board with ant. He would be the guy who took the side of the "exiled outcast shock jock" who is washed up. And we all know how Jimmy rides the fence and doesn't take sides....

As someone on this forum stated, the week after Anthony's arrest, he certainly started getting along with Tits a whole lot betta! Peckahs.

Thanks for your reply bud! I enjoyed it

No it totally makes sense for a brand that's a parody of bad listening.

Is this today's problem?

Edit: Yo, people, relax. I am making fun of Opie.

TAKE THE HIT.

See it was funny because Opie says that is th...ah fuck why am I explaining it. Bunch of haters anyways. --10 minutes later takes call from SNOWAYY in Michigan to say he got my joke and thought it was funny, as I act like I don't know why he called so I say thank you and say it was just dumb little joke I made that everyone cares about because people are weird and I have hater stalkers.

Aw jesus dude just TAKE THE HIT.

ME: It was a joooooke.

If you were doing an Opie bit, why couldn't you just run with the "take the hit" Opie-esque criticism? Were you really so lacking confidence in your bit being clearly elucidated enough to register with a forum largely dedicated to bashing Opie's radio mannerisms? Are you really a fan of the WWE?

Do you know I could have been a model?! *Brought to you by OpieRadioBot

Sorry, sir/madam, I am not sure what your question really is.

And indeed a fan of the WWE, but not happy about the current product.

This, and also the fact hes running a studio/business out of a residential zoning area hopefully is some kind of violation.... i hope

Pretty sure it is but no one from his town has caught on yet. I don't know what town he's in.

What?

that guy is literally retarded, pay him no mind

Because he's a miserable alcoholic and doesn't want you to forget about it.

Seems like a nice parallel to his constant parroting of movie lines. Doesn't that get old too, by the way?

What do you think youre watchin, nbc or sumptin..cocksuca

Since it turns your shit black, I figured he hates the stuff.

He could have paid some graphic designer on Fiverr like $50 to create an original logo but guessing he has no clue.

He should parody this, fock yea

Pisswasser

It would have made an awesome skateboard logo in 1993.

why not faggot? you a faggot designer? you got queer eye?

Who taught Ant's dad how to read and type?

so you guys hate on opie and anthony. why don't you just create a sub for jimmy so you can suck eachother off there?

Is that you Brother Joe!?

No, just lingered onto this cancerous sub. Never seen so much faggotry

To be fair, the one homosexual fantasy I've seen in this thread was coming from yourself, sir!

OH YOU GOT ME GOOD. FAWK YEAH

/r/JimNorton was a smashing success

We hate that AIDs riddled worm too

that guy is literally retarded, pay him no mind
