Anth is probably gonna actually drop dox on that poor Panera Bread fucker now.

I too actually think this sub is getting a little carried away, but he started this, so I have no sympathy for him.

Ant's a fucking retard. In what alternate universe does threatening anonymous people on the internet make them stop?

That little girl is now a transexual man. Tranthony & trannies - Always an association of some sort.

this sub is getting a little carried away

the mob mentality here is getting scary, i love it

Haha yeah wouldn't it be really crazy if we just started blowing each other and stuff? I mean really crazy and wacky just gobbling balls.

HAHAH just for like a silly goof like have penises all lubricated slipping across our tongues AHAA

You guys are silly.

Hahahaha yeah just to like freak everyone we should just all start kissing or sumtin!

HAHAHA that'd be soo hilarious if we all came inside each other's mouths and you guys PM'd be your numbers if you live in the New Jersey area and stuff hahaha

No homo. So it's not gay now. Suck up those Cocks.

We're young toughs.

i think 'a gang of wild ruffians' is a better descriptor

perhaps "unconscionable rapscallions"

I prefer to think of us as a coterie of social gadflies

steeped in folly.

It's amazing that Jim's silly phrase really describes Ant's current situation so succinctly.

peckas

I really hope the panera guy is a 16 year old kid working part-time and Cumia gets in trouble for fucking with a minor.

Cumia gets in trouble for fucking with a minor.

Remove the "with".

the time he finally gets caught it should be with a dude anyway

Well then, buddy, trade in that Cold Cut Combo for a delicious Turkey Cranberry Flatbread, at participating Panera locations!

The worst part is that he would look at that and say "...Fuck yeah."

.

Ant is publicly ripping off Guinness to sell merchandise. What's wrong with alerting the company?

.

Just because others have pulled off "worse stuff" makes it right?

If you're correct about the logo, no harm...no foul.

.

Well than you must be a recent listener because that's always been the Cumia way. Ant's got a lot of miles making fun of Facebook/ Twitter pictures of families.

And again, if it's like you say and it's not copyright infringement, then it's a moot point.

yeah exactly, I remember shows where he would explain "The Cumia Trolling Technique" in detail. where if someone pisses him off, he would then search through all of their photos and make fun of the person's fat wife or retarded kid or whatever. fuck him. he's a complete asshole.

.

This is more intelligent than your previous posts.

The anthony cumia network is a rapidly growing company with ever increasing visibility he wouldnt have stayed off their radar forever

[deleted]

Holy shit if this blows up.....

[deleted]

I'll sum it up for you:

"Yeahhh hahaha you losers totally don't have any effect on me or my show at all! Here's an 8 paragraph long rant about how much this doesn't bother me!

Gee, is it 4:00 already? Time for my Xanax and 18 Bud Lites glug glug glug!"

Ant praises this sub for getting Opie to change his logo from Raqio.

Ant claims sub doesn't affect anyone's lives.

this sub takes Ant's logo.

that's just.. poetic

Wow. You're evil. And I love it.

would you believe both of my grandparents and my two year old sent a copy of that? they're nothing if not slaves to an established brand, ahh you guys know what I mean.

this sub has too many instances of the username being better than the comment

[deleted]

Heres another

https://help.lootcrate.com/hc/en-us

I voiced my concern about my favorite subscription box being associated with such people

I love how you obviously tried hard to make that sound like an intelligent email but didn't realize that copyright and trademark are two different things and that principal was the word you were looking for, not principle.

Edit - and "logo's"? Way to mangle the possessive, Simple Jack.

Wanna be my editor? I've got some manuscripts that need some combing over.

Bless you son

And you as well, Father.

I too will submit my own complaint. Let's make this happen people.

doesn't this open the door to him trying to get this sub shut down for "harassment" and "witch hunting" and i'm not just talking about his shitty logo but past events?

Probably. Subs have been shut down for less.

Oh no, then we'll have to change our bookmarks to /r/titsandtranthony

[deleted]

Edit: someone told me to delete this or the sub might get braunheisered

BAHAHAHA! Is this real?

nuts.com vanished from his sponsor page

https://www.anthonycumia.com/sponsors/

wew lad. This whole thing backfired on him a bit, eh?

It's ok. Anthony still has plenty of nut in his mouth.

fuck him, he's gonna try and frame this as us starting a war with him, but if he considers us saying that he sucks and telling tranny jokes the opening salvo, that's pretty fucking standard stuff for a comedy show so he deserves every bit of what he's getting.

[deleted]

i don't buy nuts from those who endorse hate speech.

it's too late for nuts.com in my book, they've shown their true colors

might i recommend http://www.berries.com/roasted-chocolate-nuts-scq

When will we get a public apology from Mr cumia.

Thats the endgame

lmao

I'm sure that Lootcrate would dump him also. They're a pretty "positive" company.

[deleted]

screenshots plz

Do I have to? I'm quite lazy, and I'll have to edit out my addy or mr cumia will doxx me up.

Pretty plz 😚

Edit: sweet.

You're doing God's work son.

LMFAO. screenshot please

If 50% of you dopes follow through on this, that'd be 4 emails. Hahaha!! You are a joke!

Hahahahaha, I cant be fucked emailing them, but ill go ahead and make the effort just for you :)

you're so doxxed, bro

Oh shit

My god, man

what was it?

Who? a mod?

SAMCRO

Oh shit, I bet it was this guy

Not Tiggs, that's too close to another word.

What was it? PM it to me please.

It was an incredibly saucy limerick, I'll pm you the screens later.

Lmao you guys are brutal. I would never want to cross the O&A Pests.

a'right den, gah bless

meh...it's not easy to cross them if you're a nobody. See watch:

You're all a bunch of faggots!

See...nobody gives a shit.

Ant gets sued by Guinness, loses all his beer money.

[deleted]

Woman inherits the apartment.

proof please please

Could somebody please explain what this is about? Greetings from /r/all

You're here from /r/all? How fucking deep are you?

I'm here from /r/all too... Page 40. Yes, i'm bored... Sigh...

So deep ya need a headlamp

top: this hour. was like 7th when i looked.

Holy shit, were on fire bu-bu-bu-boysssssssssssss

[deleted]

Page 51 here.

Vaguely aware of things, but this helped.

hahahahaha. where to start? basically "fans" of a defunct radio show are fucking with a stupid racist alcoholic pedophile guinea ex-host. mercilessly.

edit: he actually has a video-podcast now (I forgot that this entire post was about this) where the logo is jacked from Guinness so people are emailing them.

Anthony Cumia's logo is a ripoff of the Guinness logo. It doesn't count as "Parody" because he is making money off his show.

o that isn't going to end well. do you have a picture of his logo for me? i want to see it, i'm curious now!

i want to see it, i'm curious now!

Oddly enough, these were Anthony's exact words to Sue Lightning.

Fuckin home run!

And here's the Guinness Logo, for comparison.

http://images.kaneva.com/filestore0/704521/1067221/Guinness%20Logo.jpg

Parody law is not determined by whether you earn money on it. the key here is "parody"

Exactly. He's not parodying their beer, he's straight up using their logo because it's recognizable.

Guinness's registered trademark would not extend to podcasting, they're limited to the industries they do commerce in.

Not necessarily. You couldn't make a Mickey Mouse brand anal lube, for example. It's trademarked and copyrighted. You could argue that ant is deliberately trying to mislead consumers into thinking they are affiliated with his show in some way.

That's more common law trademark domain, a tougher argument when he's not directly using their mark, just a derivative.

As much as I've hated transthony for years, I think he'd win in court on that one. But it's close enough to probably piss off their branding folks.

[deleted]

America's Car Mart is selling used cars doing the same thing that transthony is doing. Check out their logo. They're completely unaffiliated with Wal-Mart, but use their colors and font to sell used cars.

[deleted]

Yeah, but even if that is true I think Guinness has a pretty good dilution argument- their mark is famous and you could absolutely argue dilution by tarnishment as the mark is associated with a horrible racist.

the idea of these shenanigans attracting more and more pests through r/all excites me so.

I've seen a few strays wander in when some shit is hitting the fan like during the Jim/Opie fight, it is simply wonderful watching them try to wrap their head around what the fuck is going on here

I tried explaining this shit to someone who actually used to listen to the show.

"Wait, why does everyone hate anthony? He fucked a WHAT?!"

That question doesn't have an easy answer. We're a fan club that turned into a not-so-fan club.

There should be a field of study dedicated to what's happening here.

...It's a long story.

[deleted]

You're doing the Lord's work, fam.

Boy..that pendulum.

Would you say its swingin' the other waaaay?

They're going to be rope buddies soon

Chantalle? Well...."HELLLLLLLOOOO BABY. Lemme tell ya all about a tranny fuckin' racist."

Im a single mother gotta be mom and dad. Panera doesnt quite pay the bills

wakes up at 4pm

"I said.....WHAT? I sucked.........WHAAAAT?"

"Chantilly Sue / covered me with goo...."

I am offended and appalled by Guinness's support of hate speech and toilet humor!

Guinness does not want to be associated with racist, misogynist, transphilic "shows". If Guiness doesn't respond then it's important to make Guiness stakeholders aware of the misappropriating if its image.

Which is funny because that describes most Guinness drinkers I've met

Chantalle should send pics of her freckled Irish twat next email.

Make it happen

[deleted]

[deleted]

Nice! Go Chantalle!

This is the most petty of our attacks on Anthony. It's also the most easy to cause a real effect. I love it.

You sent them a picture of a Guinness glass as a complaint?

[deleted]

[deleted]

I didn't get my response back yet :( you're doing the lord's work friend.

[deleted]

This sub is the most capable and effective psychological warfare regiment I've ever encountered.

Lol, Chantalle.

Chantalle apologized for any concern this may have caused you? Are they sending you a crate of tampons too?

[deleted]

I doubt they'll do anything. Ant's been single-handedly keeping them in business for years.

They aren't going to do anything, this seems like a very generic email you'd recieve back from any company.

BUT, if a bunch of us fellas started emailing about this shit I think we could get them to write out a cease and desist to Anthony.

[deleted]

The complaint was binned the same time as the response was sent back to the dude.

At least the dude was trying i guess.

What did your email say specifically?

Probably something to the effect of don't bother us with your pussy bullshit and fuck off.

It's only a matter of time before this sub collapses on itself creating a black hole.

what was your complaint and who did you send it to? we should send a couple (differently worded) edit: found it nvm http://pastebin.com/AL24WGZX

Cease and desist?

The obsequious ninny who replied thanked you 3 times in 5 sentences.. That level of groveling required by Customer support jobs is utter DRECK.

im out of the loop on this one... Someone can explain it to me?

Anthony is kicking the beehive.

This won't end pretty for anybody.

Awww he's been using msnbc video on his show without copyright permission. Tsk tsk

[deleted]

anthony raqio

.

I have no idea man but this isn't exactly new type of behavior. The whole Anti Derosa thing comes to mind. I remember Anthony had no problem with that and encouraging people to do it. If someone deserves a comeuppance it's Anthony. He also showed off people canceling SXM on this twitter. Essentially putting his "friends" in a shitty situation. He throws around shit on people nonstop and his yes men mongoloids just agree with him.

he also talks about how shitty O&J is when JIMMY IS STILL ON THE FUCKING SHOW!!!!! I feel like that doesn't get brought up enough.

Jimmy and his friends all joined in to get on TACS, this is how the motherfucker repaid him during that time. What a selfish prick. He didn't make it easy for people to associate with him after the very public firing, the twitter rants and the "search for truth" like he was the KKK version of Walter Cronkite. Still comics supported him. Jimmy going on LOS is a big fuck you to Anthony.

That shit really does not get brought up enough. U notice Ant dropping the "O&J" show multiple times yeaterday morning? In context of...."you trash my show, O&J, and WE laugh at you". Like he's a fucking white knight for Opie & Jimmys show now??

This uneducated, Sardinian-made, bucket of shit has really lost it. He oozes sleaze.

On the one hand, you're right. On the other hand, brother Joe legit said that shit expecting to never be held accountable, and Anthony did blatantly rip off that logo. If they want to hold me accountable for the things I've said here, I say have at it, who would blame me for bashing a pedophile racist tranny fucking woman abuser?

.

Who the fuck loved that show in 2014? Fucking no one.

idk, Lady Di's internship was some of the funniest shit ever.

I can give you that. But most of a week out of six months? Not really a great average.

the only other thing that was worth listening to was the Misheard Song Lyrics bit. But other than that, the show had been shit for years.

[deleted]

Somebody should make a list of all the people's lives that have been ruined by O&A Pests. Joe Derosa, Joe Cumia, Anthony Cumia, Opie, Amy Schumer, Kurt Metzger, all the radio shows from Jocktober.

I'd argue that Amy Schumer's life has had no real impact due to the pests...

ruined, huh?

Guinness won't care, it's essentially a parody, so he is protected under copyright law.

It's trademarked, he's also making money off the similarity to Guinness's logo.

It would be tough in court to argue but I'm guessing they have a better legal team. He also has money so they might be tempted to if he makes any waves in the media after his eventual incarceration.

And your mother makes her money off the similarity of her clit to a cock so why shouldn't we file complaints against her? bunch of backwoods retards that suddenly take an interest in legal matters because their favorite radio host wronged them... i hope your toddler gets a hold of your gun you piece of white trash. And you saying guiness might have an interest in suing an alcholic ginny broadcasting from his basement is almost as delusional as opie saying he doesnt want to start any shit with JJ Abrams.

Are you ok?

I can't relate to a single thing you said.

[deleted]

Yep.

Nice work!

Sorry I'm removing this. This could get us shutdown by admins

[deleted]

Fucking pathetic.

when your mom shat you out of her twat i bet she said i hope he writes a complaint e-mail about a mean man with a internet show one day!

OOOOOOOOOOOHhhhhhhhhhh SHhhhhhhhhhittttttttttttt you fuckin NAILED him bro, ouch!

[deleted]

I know, I don't think he knows that the vagina and poopyplace are actually separate holes.

Even if my slam was shit you're siding with someone that files complaints over email, you little fuck boy. jesus christ a bunch of fat 30+ year old men have to take up arms against two geriatric radio hosts when they do something they don't like. My guess is you all look like the crowd of the "stand for ant" movement after the suspension get a fucking life, listen to the old xm shows if you dont like what it is now. when the sopranos went off the air did you try to get Nurse Jackie cancelled you cocksucker. If any of you people writing these e-mails and doxing and all this retard shit are over 25 and have kids you are pathetic. Theres no way this isnt people in their 20s doing this shit I have to believe that. These faggots are just as bad as the people that got Ant fired and started this shit in the first place.

Thats a lot of stupid words. I don't mean the words themselves, just the way you arranged them.

Yet you dont deny being older than 25, you're on track to be the brother of someone who's actually successful at something.

I don't even understand what the fuck you're babbling about, accusing me of being over 25? what?

You get what I'm saying and youre avoiding it. If you are over 25 your pathetic. But you know what, you're right bitch boy someone your age should be complaining on the internet to sponsors about an video podcast. You dont see how childish and retarded that is?

I honestly have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. Are you saying that anybody here who is 25 or younger are fine, anybody over 25 is pathetic? I don't understand why you've put these age limitations on. I think you get an insurance premium drop when you're 25, but what does that have to do with this?

[deleted]

How about adult man over 30 who complains about a mean radio host :( he slapped an autistic omg!!!! You all say opie jim and ant are fake yet this is the shit you guys come up with... Get him!!! Oh we're just little fans why should what we do matter he broadcasts to twenty people every night out of his basement he has real responsibility!!!! You are so fucking stupid you dont realize what you are doing is the same thing SJWs are doing, or maybe you do but your so bitter about the way you're life is you cant just live without trying to interfere with others. Crafting this retarded e-mail was the most creative thing you've ever done. Either way you have a great optimistic outlook on life, good luck.

[deleted]

I'm not fat.

not fat in this subreddit = 270

You reeeeallly think people are doing this because they are angry with Ant for "being mean"? You don't think it could possibly be because it's just fun to fuck with someone that goes out of his way to say fucking with him doesn't bother him, yet he continues to up the ante? People are just reraising him.

I've been a fan for years but I don't go back and listen to old shows. I actually think that's a bit pathetic. Live in the now man. This is what long time fans of the show are doing now. And saying people on here are over 30 doesn't really mean anything considering the show started 2 decades ago and the core audience is definitely over 30. That's like saying 80 year olds would be in the murder she wrote sub. Also I don't know too many 20 year olds paying for subscriptions to TACS or Sirius.

[deleted]

I mean, what do people expect? a hand delivered letter from the CEO of the company? The generic letter also states that the info will be passed to the brand team for review. I think saying absolutely nothing will come from it based on this response alone is a bit premature

[deleted]

he sells a fucking guinness pint glass with his logo on it shit dick.

[deleted]

Why would I ever need to know that? Why do you?

[deleted]

You learned intricate details about trademark infringement in highschool? I assume some shitty elective only faggots take.

You all reek of college level thinking.

Actually not an insult considering only 7 out of 100 people in the world have a college degree. College people are generally smarter than the average bear and are already far far ahead of Cumia. I doubt a college educated person would copy the logo of a beer company for their new business logo

Guinness can't do anything about a parody logo that has nothing to do with beer.

I never said something would most certainly come of this, but it's impossible to know for sure. At the very least they could send a cease and desist letter that would take next to zero effort. And you need to brush up on exactly what the parody, or more accurately "fair use", exemption to a copyright infringement means exactly. A parody isn't generally used for commercial purposes. Cumia network is a business, therefore commercial, so parody would be hard to prove. Example of a parody would be the word "dork" inside a York peppermint patty logo. Here's some more info for ya. Careful, it might require some college-level thinking to get through it all

http://lemoinefirm.com/parody-fair-use-or-copyright-infringement/

[deleted]

So? If you spend 5 minutes looking into why chewy won their case you'd see that the reasoning used probably wouldn't apply to Cumia. A core argument was that the parody distinguished the brand because it was funny the toys were for dogs. What's funny about TACS logo? Nothing. Where's the parody? It isn't there. Another thing you can easily find are companies going after logo infringement, no matter if it's clearly parody or not, and letting the court decide or just dropping it later. It's pretty subjective what constitutes parody, but I can't see where it would be in the TACS logo

[deleted]

[deleted]

Yes, my point. It's subjective as fuck, which makes it perfect for lawsuits. But yeah I don't really care either, I accept your resignation with honor.

[deleted]

[deleted]

[deleted]

so he STOLE MATERIAL from an honest company, and you're mad at us?!

Congratulations you got a preformed response. Now email any big company to get a similar email!

lol thats a stock response theyre not gonna do anything

Yeah, companies never defend IP, especially not their logo.

against a podcast that goes out to nobody? i dont know well see i guess

got a lot going on in your life?

[deleted]

It's strange why people think this takes a lot of effort. It doesn't at all.

eeewwwwwwwwww

[deleted]

ugh stop

I think Ant's been a real fag lately but I think this is kinda fucked up.

Dude, Guinness doesn't deserve to be associated with a piece of shit like him. It can't be stressed enough that everything that's been going on is public information. No one is hacking into his personal shit, he's done this to himself.

You raise a good point that it's public information and I change my mind. Fuck 'em.

They arent associated with him. people use spin offs of logo's all the time. youre starting to look more pathetic than him.

If Guinness finds nothing wrong with it then it's no harm no foul.

meh...my first thought would be they wouldnt give enough of a fuck to even look into it but the way ants lucks been going i bet they do lol

[deleted]

I never sucked a dick that one time.

Profiting off another companies image is fucked up

Going to Guinness over logo design. Now, thats just a dick move, by a bitch ass pussy. Its shit moves like this, by empty losers of life, that ruins all the in family bickering and fun we have here

[deleted]

Looks like somebody's vying for a spot in SAMCRO.
