The symbol is from the cover of a compilation CD dedicated to charitable causes:

The Take Action Tour is an annual spring tour that not only hosts several bands, but also tries to get people alerted about the issues with teen suicide, and ultimately tries to prevent it. The tour was created by both Sub City and Hopeless Records. A portion of the ticket sales and compilation CD sales are donated to the cause.

In recent years, the tour has chosen bands that have fans more of the demographic age group.

In 2011, Sub City Records announced a new benificiary Sex, Ect., a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising teen awareness of sexually transmitted diseases and the benefits of safe sex.

The raised fist is a symbol of power through solidarity.

I like the symbol.

But internecine warfare may be a better strategy.

This is going to end well.




I knew feminist were all commies..

The raised fist has always been a sign of solidarity and power.
A five pointed star is used for lots of ****, you're over reacting.

How super embarassing for 2+2. So much about the company has completely gone downhill over the past few years.

John Galt killed poker.

Oh well, there's always solitaire - a much better game for the rugged individualist, anyway.
04-28-2011 , 04:22 AM
yeah, now the thing is about copyright.
04-28-2011 , 04:23 AM
Freedom of expression mean anything to you Americans living in "the land of the free"?

WTF is this...

EDIT for clarification, obviously not flaming all the people here pointing out how ridiculous this is, but rather anyone agreeing they don't like the image.

Did you get a complaint from the owner ?
How do you know the PPA never got permission from the owner ?

Do you even know who actually owns the rights ?

Given the nature of the album, I would assume the logo is public domain imo. No idea though.

It would be much appreciated it you would remove your lips from Mason's.... Well you can fill in the blank as I don't want to get banned... but seriously just embarrassing how everything is being handled here.

Talk about a terrible face for a company... you guys are just making things worse and making the poker world less unified... yep, that what we need. thanks... much appreciated....

Spoiler:
I since found out the first Google result for "Take action" is the image in question. What obviously looks horrible for the PPA.


You seem more reasonable then some of the other 2p2 powers that be, do you not see how this is out of left field by Mason. .. Even for Mason standards ?

Just curious.
