WE’RE FELONS

CROOKS

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

I've think it says "We're Felons"

Did you see what he’s painting? The shirts kinda tame by comparison.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure it says "we're felons" for wells fargo

What's the original name for Crooks?

I live on the other side of the pond.

Found the shirt!

Edit: Ah these are just American banks. Would be nice to slap a big ol' Deutsche Bank on here too in the largest possible font.

Douche bank

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

This guy is awesome.

He does it to all the chase banks.

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

life, uh.. finds a way

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I wonder what was in the artist's mind.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Understandable. He could draw a few flames to hide it instead.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

In many

There's just two mate, that's far from normal

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The accuracy of that painting could be improved...

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (5 children)

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!!!

[–] [email protected] 24 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Congratulations for being terminally online!

Now shut the fuck up and let others enjoy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Reposting the same shit over and over again is boring as fuck.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

Hey now, don't you dare mock Waluigi.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Don't get on the internet much, huh?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This comment qualifies you for the same question

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

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
