WTF!!!!!!!

 

:golfclap:

 

This is the third time I'm attempting to post in a thread this afternoon and the first two times I pressed the SUBMIT button I got the "access denied" and saw the entire thread was gone or locked....thought it was me at first doh!

 

Me too. doh! I typed this out and tried to post it a couple of times. I'll try

again here:

 

 

 

Well, since this isn't going away, I thought I would give some background on the

NOE logo. This first appeared in December 2007 during the one of the Grails Game contests.

3 teams were all given a CGC X-Men comic book and told to come up with the

most outlandish eBay auction listing. MCMiles and myself came up with the

scenario of a comic being transported into space by NASA engineers to receive a

zero-gravity pressing. It involved many pictures of Greggy, a new restoration

company called W.E.I.G.H.T.L.E.S.S, a backstory of NASA, and a new

organization called NOE (Network of Exposure).

The whole auction listing was clearly satire in the tradition of Mad magazine and

Wacky Packages. The contest was a lot of fun and some of the proceeds from the

auction went to charity (Toys for Tots, I believe). It was one of coolest things to

happen on these boards.

 

The NOD logo was created by our very own Redhook whose artwork I admired and

still do. I sent him a PM before the NOE logo was used to give him a heads up

about me doing an homage to his logo and that it was meant to be satire and not

mean-spirited.

 

So for about 17 months this has not been an issue and I hope it will cease to

be one. The logo is clearly a parody and is representative of my light-hearted

posting style. If it truly offends anyone now, I can go back and remove it from

the archived threads where it was enjoyed for what it was, a chance to laugh

at ourselves. :)

 

I've given you the credit from the start FLEE.

Somebody fill me in on what went down!!!! BK was putting out his opinions in a very civil fashion yesterday afternoon. (Although I didn't necessarily agree with his position). He was being polite and we were dicussing a very interesting turn of events regarding Watson's flasher logo. Now he is suspended?? Did he pull a greggy and post the logo 7 million times and crash the site?

Opportunity for the same handful of people to diminish NOD = predictable and tired

 

You didn't see me this go-round. But I will say this. You guys should have a serious sit-down with whoever played lawyer with CGC. Supremely stupid.

 

Not to mention "self-important." Par for the course with that guy, though, so no big surprise. I've never met anyone else who so enjoys throwing his JD around.

For the slow among us, who are you referring to Scott? It's not Zaid, is it? I'm not familiar with the NOD lineup.
