What's the original name for Crooks?

I live on the other side of the pond.

Getting a custom printed T isn't that difficult tbh, you can open your fav image editing software, slap down the text tool, export to .PNG and you got yourself a usable file to send to a company that does screenprints

And slap Spermbank as reference to Sberbank

I hope this guy has a solid alibi if that bank ever goes up in flames one day

The most American thing about his pic is that he's scared to actually write "Bank of America" in case he gets sued

Or he could actually stop being a pussy, actually write it, get sued and draw attention to the problem?

True, but it takes big balls. By doing so, you're provoking a big corporation that has all the resources to destroy your life.

Actually draws back to a reply I got earlier.

In other countries, the corporations wouldn't be able to do this because the people would be behind the artist

It seems the US is just horribly selfish that way :(

'Cayse everybody's so scared
We don't wanna go there
We don't wanna make a move
We got our lives to lose
Screaming in the dark while
We just play our parts out
And I play along
Like I don't know what's going on

Yeah, the first one to stand up has to be the most courageous. He becomes the leader and example. Others might decide to follow (or not).

In many capitalist/right-wing countries like the US, more often than not, money is king.

Alex Schaefer does write the actual names of the bank in the art, which is fair artistic use and as far as I know he's never been sued for it. Obviously you can't just put the banks names and logos on the back of a shirt and sell it but also, that would be counter to the point of the shirt which is to obviously satirize the names.

Depict they have closed the doors for lunch, at 11:23a. Customers forced to use the ATMs outside. And, oh, the agony - as it unnecessarily captures their ATM cards. And turn away in a walk-of-shame.

I just bought a used car from a dealership 10 days ago when my car broke down suddenly on a Saturday. I signed up for dealership financing for 9.8% APR with the intention to refinance with a cheaper rate after a month or so. The loan paperwork came in two days ago: Managed by Bank of America. Got refinanced with a credit union the next day, 5.99%. Absolutely fuck BoA.

I first saw this like 3 years ago. Yawn.

Edit: why don't you all make a bigger deal out of this comment? It's literally the most offensive thing anyone has ever said. Act like it!!!

Yeah, I'm getting tired of these boring comments. Get a new line of attempted comedy.

No wonder you're so butt hurt. You thought that was an attempt to be funny? I'm thinking Facebook would be a better fit for you

Well, either it was an attempt to be funny, or a terminally stupid attempt at controlling and gatekeeping others. From your response, it's the latter - I tried to give the benefit of the doubt. You've destroyed that, so fuck off back to the pit you crawled out of.

I don't see people complaining that they've seen something before that often, no. Why would they, rather than just not say anything?

Because reposting stale shit is pretty lame. And the complaints about it are pretty common

Hey! Nobody post anything TrickDacy's seen online before! WT actual F guys!? Don't you know he's seen this already!? FFS!

Yeah it's about me personally. Absolutely nothing to do with the fact that hundreds of people here have seen this same recycled bullshit for years now
