I for one will not be buying the next Tiger Woods game. Thanks to Mason for pointing this out.

Lazy ****ing commies making that most natural raised arm position "theirs".

Maybe a point you are trying to make...but then who cares!

Mason made his a little more effectively.

Anyone notice that the Union Jack uses the 'Communist Angle' not once, but four times!

Also, it has lots of red, which is well known as a symbol of communism.

I knew that broom on his WANGZ logo had to be for something useful. I have no opinion on this logo issue but Go Canucks Go!

If you don't like it start your own commie site.

i guess you are so stuck up in your little ignorant ultra nationalist world view that you forgot that one of the principles of the existence of private property is its social function.

It's not "**** is mine and it's mine". At least not once you are older than 10 y/o.

If anything, Mason should have been complaining about how the image was obtained, and it should have been done in private Something like... Two Plus Two can't support this....

This.

In Mason's defense, he is consistent in his opinions on the use of possibly divisive imagery. I was on the receiving end of it some time ago for posting a picture of Frist wearing a swastika.

That said - come on, Mason. With all of the mess that has gone on the past few weeks, why is the first thing that we hear from you a public and divisive rebuke of the PPA? There aren't enough facepalm images on the Internet to express how that makes me feel.

As the traffic to this site is only going to drop over time due to the indictments, its nice to see Mason has his priorities in order.

Is this the new logo?

Wow, these are the cheapest red and blue colors I've ever seen.
When I see this I think: Cheap/weak/poor quality, etc...

PPA is probably getting emails about people trying to buy second-hand computers or detergent as we talk...

Seriously, this looks incredibly weak. Someone please change these colors!

3) Not content with keeping it restricted to the PPA forum, you reposted on NVG, thus repeating the whole process all over again.

I hope this clears up the confusion.

OMG! This needs SOOO MUCH LOVE!!

lol

Well played sir. First image in the thread that actually made me laugh out loud.

The red ace is not on the communist angle, it is only on the socialist angle.

Why won't the red ace release its long-form birth certificate?

Shameful, shameful.

[ ] yes
[ ] no
