What A Clever Logo -- Did They Think of That Themselves?

[Frank Giaramita]

Bitter people are funny! (http://www.absolutechump.net/)

[swirlofhues]

whatever happened to fuckabsolutepunk.net

[AgentX]

wtf is the point in that site?

[dskiz]

it was a funny attempt at making fun of this website
but it was of poor quality and the puns were lame...
i mean "jason taint" now thats just class-less.

[Rohan Kohli]

"Rohan Colon" is a let down.

[WakingTheMisery]

who is it? i don't get it.

[Melissa Johnson]

Seems like they wasted too much time making the site to actually put something worth laughing at on it...

[duffe]

who is it? i don't get it.
People with a lot of time to waste.

[irthesteve]

this is a pretty badly done site if it's trying to make fun of ap.net

[Melie]

hahaha, wtf? they're actually paying money to use that domain name? what a waste.

See, but if that were some indie rock star, it'd be the artist "pouring his heart out."

[lividman5k]

Wow, I like such serious websites like this :D

I'm not sure: It's that futile, but also a little bit funny...

[when 4ever ends]

its a good picture, the caption just totally changed my view of it hahaha

[Jason Tate]

At least they used a trademarked logo on their page .. it means domain proxy will legally have to give up the name of their 'whois'. I'll post who registered the domain name in the next few days!

Shit like this cracks me up .. it only makes us more popular and solidifies how dominate we've actually become.

[Scott Weber]

I lolled a tad bit at that. AP = the New York Yankees of music E-zines.

[The Revisionist]

I enjoyed it... that write-up of the Louie XIV show was great and basically as trivial as every single show report on this website.

haha owned.

That site is not funny at all. too bad more clever people couldnt have come up with that idea.

[SickOfStars]

that........wasn't funny at all.

[apex]

See, but if that were some indie rock star, it'd be the artist "pouring his heart out."

hawthorne heights is bad, that's all there is to it. if that was some indie rock star making better music it would, understandably, be different. but he'd still look funny.

yeah i was going to say...it has to be a bit flattering knowing that people go out of their way to try and knock on AP.net and then fail so miserably. i am curious as to who it is.

[RegularMax]

See, but if that were some indie rock star, it'd be the artist "pouring his heart out."

But, it's not....It's some dude taking a shit on stage. That's what makes it funny. I see your point, just good timing on AC's part.

[mogwaifearsatan]

I'm not understanding the headline... and yes I know who the person is.

[blankster07]

i think this is funny...

[crit]

Seems like they wasted too much time making the site to actually put something worth laughing at on it...

that's what i was thinking too.

everyone refresh this page 100 times, if they get more than 12 hits in a short amount of time theyll most likely crash.

hahaha frank margarita.. that was good
how silly

[Brooklyn Kid]

that guy spent a lot of time sitting at a computer to do that.
no wonder he's such a fatass.

[Talib Scottie]

not so much funny as it is entertaining.

[kallok]

haha I like it.

[mylkhead]

[Big_Guy]

I'm sure if there was a site called sucknews.org or something like that, you would all be "ROFL"

this is some funny shit, and whoever made it is awesome.

[Darren McLeod]

"Rohan Colon" is a let down.
At least you got a nickname.

:'(

[Jared Kaufman]

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume I'm "Dick Coughman" and, I must say, I'm quite disappointed. My "first name" is random and uncalled for, I mean, Jason, Frank and Rohan got to keep their regular ones. And second, "Coughman" is way too easy and expected. At least be creative and call me "Geraldine Sneezewoman" or something. What a letdown!

[A picasso blue]

it was a funny attempt at making fun of this website
but it was of poor quality and the puns were lame...
i mean "jason taint" now thats just class-less.
and like..the posts about TREOS and other bands are just factual. no jokes, not even bad ones.

[Melissa Johnson]

I was kinda waiting for one of the news posters to be named Turd Ferguson...At least that would have been somewhat funny...

[Trainsaw]

that last picture is nasty

[ForeverInADay]

that was not funny in the least...

or you could bribe me to tell you.

[Caleb Cattivera]

i think jon wark and kamtin mohager have joined forces on this site...and maybe...jamison kane?

[Kelley Nicole]

that last picture is nasty
uh yeah it was. i wish i hadn't even visited that site. disgusting.


that was really stupid. the only thing that made me kind of laugh was the message posted by god, but i laugh just about everytime i read something signed by god.

[yeknom]

See, but if that were some indie rock star, it'd be the artist "pouring his heart out."
no. it would like like a dude taking a shit while making good music, as opposed to a dude taking a shit and throwing it at the microphone.

[TimeAsIdeology]

This is pathetic.

No, not the site, but you Frank.

I like how the first thing you do is jump to the assumption that Scott Heisel made that site. You guys preach all the time about how other zines are immature in the way they conduct business, you bash Barry of Punkrocks and Scott of Punknews, then you pull this shit, without any sort of verification whatsoever. Who the fuck do you tools think you are? You think just because you get parodied that you're kings of the zine world, like Tate is Babe Ruth and Jared is Joe fucking Dimaggio. No, you have enemies. Notice how there's no fuckpunknews, fuckpitchfork, fuckstylus, or anything else like that? A bit curious.

Does anyone who works here have a shred of fucking integrity? You're only trying to toot your own horn by posting about this site being made. And act like you're taking the high road. You know what the high road would be? NOT EVEN MENTIONING THEIR SITE. Christ, how dense are you? And then dragging Scott's name through the mud? Never once has their been a post on Punknews about any of you, but I guess decency isn't practiced on this side of the internet.

And I love how whenever Tate says something, everyone's got to cup his balls for it. "Tate you're so right, we totally pwn3dz0rz them!!!!" Get your own identities. Do you hold his dick when he pisses, too?

You aren't kings of the web zines, you're the fucking Jesters.

Haha 10 points.

[FatJordan]

I kinda wanted to say what the guy before me said...I don't think Scott cares enough to make an entire joke page like that. Funny or not, by posting it up you're really just fueling the fire of a "rivalry" that doesn't really exist.

Ok, so punknews.org is always right and absolutepunk.net are better for not making joke sites. Be flattered...imitation is the most sincere form of flattery...could have at least waited until you found out for SURE who did it before you stop throwing names around. You guys talk about how the proxy-reg has to give up the register for using a trademarked logo...how about slander for throwing out names (no matter how suttle the hints are) before you know for sure who it is.

Very true.

I believe 'defamation of character' can be cited here. Aware of libel, Frank? Apparently not.

[steve-0]

tell him that hes not funny at all

[Jared Kaufman]

TimeIsIdeology:

I can't quote you because I'm on my sidekick, but that was hilarious. I'm not being sarcastic either -- I seriously cracked up reading that.

Anyway, just so you know, we're cool with Barry now; however, he has on numerous occasions, before the air was cleared, called us out, poked fun at us, talked smack, etc. Scott Heisel has also on numerous occasions taken jabs at us -- even on our own site in the replies.

I'm not saying this to defend Frank, say he was right for putting Scott's name in the title or anything along those lines. I don't know who made the site, don't have a guess, and quite frankly, couldn't care less. I'm just letting you know no other zine, website or person is innocent. And, majority of the time, we're subjected to this because someone is bitter or jealous of our success. I don't think you can deny how big this site is now, and how people are going to attack us because of that. Not once have you ever or will you ever see us attack a site or make a pseudosite in order to attack another.

oh btw the mpaa and riaa called, they want you to work for them. they said they liked how you overlooked the fact that this is a parody (fair use bs and all) and went straight for legal action. the mpa called while i was still on the phone with the other big boys but i'm sure they were thinking the same thing.

[BarryScatton]

Somehow this bullshit ended up on the Punkrocks.net board, so I decided I would offer my two cents. I am pretty sure that Scott had absolutely nothing to do with the website in question. I talk to Scott quite frequently, and if he was making a retarded webpage to poke fun at you guys, I would probably know about it. I really think you should take the post down, or at least change the headline, because I know Scott didn't do it, and you guys had no proof that he did. To further prove my point here is the website information that one of our board posters found. Scott isn't stupid, if he made a site like this he would probably lose his job at Alternative press. That is all I have to say.

Not once have you ever or will you ever see us attack a site or make a pseudosite in order to attack another.

1) The thing with Barry is a whole nother can of worms, so I'll keep this to Scott. I'm not denying he's been in here and he's said some things in the replies, but there's some things to take into account. One, it's in a reply. He never made a news post on PN about it, that's taking things to a whole nother level. Also, he may, or may not have been provoked, and thus in the right with the comment he makes. But again, it's too late to know either way, so that's neither here nor there.

2) You're completely right. APnet is huge. And you know what, congratulations. I'm sure you guys have put in a ton of hard work to make it that way, so you've deservantly become huge. I don't agree with most of the stuff covered, but I suppose that's irrelevant.

3) However, the whole "guilty until proven innocent" thing, that's bullshit. That site very well may have been made out of jealousy or resentment, or just plain out because somebody doesn't like the site and the way it does things. Presumptions only go so far. You have not made a fake site attacking any other zine, correct, but I shouldn't have to congratulate you guys on that. I shouldn't have to say, "hey you haven't made a site called Fuckpastepunk yet, kudos on that!" As somebody involved in a zine, and I know because I am as well, we're supposed to act with integrity. I know, I know, "it's just the internet," but honestly, what Frank did is some juvenile fucking buillshit. And the fact that Tate has no problem with it, shows that he has little to no decency. I'm not saying you should agree with the joke site, but if you guys, and some of you already have, could take a look back and laugh at yourselves, you'd see that there's no reason to post something like this. It's only fueling the fire, as somebody earlier mentioned.

I'm not lumping all APnet staff in together with this, but there's definitely a few of you who would do well to graduate the 8th grade.

And for your information, the domain was registered by somebody in Arizona. And before I get accused of making the site myself, I live in Upstate NY, I'm sure Tate could verify my IP on that.

[IPS Josh]

That's a really fucking funny site!

JOSH

[Jared Kaufman]

TimeAsIdeology:

I agree with everything you said. I, for one, think the site is funny. It's super corny, but the fact someone took the time to do that and wasn't very creative, clever or witty in their attempt to be funny amuses me.

The internet isn't my life. I love being sarcastic on here and saying off-the-wall things just for kicks. I don't beef with people in real life so I'm not going to have feuds or rivalries in "Internet Land."

I respect every other site and person on the web striving to expose music they're passionate about to more people. I'm not Jason, Frank, Scott or Barry so I can't talk for them, but sites and the people behind them who make it their aim to attack others doing the same thing because they're jealous, don't like the personal preference in regards to the music the other person listens to, or any various other reason is ridiculous.

[mewithoutyou]

Amatuer detective Frank has narrowed down the suspects to Scott Heisel and that one guy from the Acceptance show in Jacksonville who yelled out "You suck".

[SVBrightEye]

I don't know if the obvious has been said because i'm too lazy to go through 4 pages of comments, but who the hell would waste their time, energy, and money to make a shitty website like that.

[XxLoserDanxX]

well who ever made the site better have a big trunk ... because i'm gonna put my bike in it. mmmmm

[Big_Guy]

really though, the title should be changed.

I think it's great that you all have beef with Scott, but how 'bout we keep it private.

[jerkstore20]

i talk to scott. i've hung out with scott. we're both stubborn bastards, and we agree on virtually nothing, but i like the son of a bitch. you would think he's got more important shit to do, what with a job at a real magazine and a record label, than to make up stuff like this, but come on, the site is registered in SCOTTsdale! you have to see the connection! it's totally him!!!

ok, no, it's not him. it's ludicrous to think it is. in fact, i just sent him the link, and it's definitely not him. he's sort of outraged, but not really. i still think it's funny. and the fact that you fucks will do anything to keep Jason Tate on your good side even though his overall position in the world is meaningless and he can, realistically, do nothing for you, is outrageously moronic. frank, you're trite and pathetic. at least jared is taking it in stride and not being a presumptuous prick about it. that's called illiteration, baby. you like that? i, personally, thought the Dick Coughman thing was fairly humourous. the guy shitting on the floor at the bottom was not. fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, scott heisel is my baby's mama, fuck you, i'm out.

the Jason.

Seriously though, its hillarious how quickly we on the internet jump to conclusions.

Chalk it up to human nature, I guess. Still though. It was pretty funny you all thought it was Scott.

this photo on their main page, not homo-erotic at all. heh.:groupflip

bro #1: "hey bros! let's all get together and bash ap.net! this fraternity ain't doing shit for us here!"

You aren't kings of the web zines, you're the fucking Jesters.

I guess you're referring to the original title (which I hadn't even seen and read until I looked at the history of this thread) that implied Scott Heisel had something to do with the "spoof" website. To be fair, you must admit that history has shown it would be something Scott may have been involved in. I never thought it was, I'm not sure of Frank thought it was - I believe Frank was just adding a sarcastic comment into the mix. Either way, I guess the title has been changed now. As for the rest of your rant, it's not really true and I could go out of my way and show you where you're wrong, misled, and being an ass - but it doesn't really matter to me at all.

I kinda wanted to say what the guy before me said...I don't think Scott cares enough to make an entire joke page like that. Funny or not, by posting it up you're really just fueling the fire of a "rivalry" that doesn't really exist.

Ok, so punknews.org is always right and absolutepunk.net are better for not making joke sites. Be flattered...imitation is the most sincere form of flattery...could have at least waited until you found out for SURE who did it before you stop throwing names around. You guys talk about how the proxy-reg has to give up the register for using a trademarked logo...how about slander for throwing out names (no matter how suttle the hints are) before you know for sure who it is.

First, slander is spoken - not written. Not only that, but showcasing your lack of knowledge on the subject ... it's not libel either. The statement made was "Heisel is cute" - nothing else. The implication itself about what that meant, would not be held in any court to mean anything at all. Furthermore, malice aforethought is needed - and with a statement such as "Heisel is cute" you're never going to be able to prove that.

oh btw the mpaa and riaa called, they want you to work for them. they said they liked how you overlooked the fact that this is a parody (fair use bs and all) and went straight for legal action. the mpa called while i was still on the phone with the other big boys but i'm sure they were thinking the same thing.

Ahh, you may be decent with Flash and PHP, but you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Seriously. Maybe you should be redesigning the P!aTD website right now instead of talking over here. First off, I never threatened or took any sort of legal action, because I don't have to. And I quote from domainsbyproxy.com. "Prohibitions: Domains By Proxy will not do business with you, nor protect your identity, if you: Violate the law or infringe a third party’s trademark or copyright." The legality of Fair Use (which you obviously don't know a whole lot about) wouldn't even come into play. Second, actually talk to a lawyer about fair use some time, you'd be shocked at what you can't actually do. 2) I never planned to take any sort of legal action, at all ... just release the name of who registered the domain name. Fuck, I want this shit spread around ... it's free publicity and word of mouth for me and this website. Why would I care if people spoof AP.net - myspace has spoofs, microsoft has spoofs, apple has spoofs, google has spoofs. In my opinion, that's good company to be in.

I know, I know, "it's just the internet," but honestly, what Frank did is some juvenile fucking buillshit. And the fact that Tate has no problem with it, shows that he has little to no decency. I'm not saying you should agree with the joke site, but if you guys, and some of you already have, could take a look back and laugh at yourselves, you'd see that there's no reason to post something like this. It's only fueling the fire, as somebody earlier mentioned.

And for your information, the domain was registered by somebody in Arizona. And before I get accused of making the site myself, I live in Upstate NY, I'm sure Tate could verify my IP on that.

I saw this post, and responded, from my sidekick in the back of a car early this morning. I didn't even read the title. However, saying I have no decency toward Scott Heisel is ludicrous. No shit I have no decency toward that man. I try to ignore him completely and don't associate or want to be involved with anything at all related to him. After the shit he's pulled, and the backhanded things he's done .. I think I've gained the right not to be "decent" in matters related to him. However, he had nothing to do with this AT ALL - and I'm glad to see the post title has been changed.

Ps: Domainsbyproxy is from AZ, not the actual owner. But, I don't care if it was you that made the site, seriously .. if you (or whoever) want to waste youe time on something seen by 900 people today and 5 the rest of the year, that's fine by me. As I said before, it's only publicity for us ...

i talk to scott. i've hung out with scott. we're both stubborn bastards, and we agree on virtually nothing, but i like the son of a bitch. you would think he's got more important shit to do, what with a job at a real magazine and a record label, than to make up stuff like this, but come on, the site is registered in SCOTTsdale! you have to see the connection! it's totally him!!!

ok, no, it's not him. it's ludicrous to think it is. in fact, i just sent him the link, and it's definitely not him. he's sort of outraged, but not really. i still think it's funny. and the fact that you fucks will do anything to keep Jason Tate on your good side even though his overall position in the world is meaningless and he can, realistically, do nothing for you, is outrageously moronic. frank, you're trite and pathetic. at least jared is taking it in stride and not being a presumptuous prick about it. that's called illiteration, baby. you like that? i, personally, thought the Dick Coughman thing was fairly humourous. the guy shitting on the floor at the bottom was not. fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, scott heisel is my baby's mama, fuck you, i'm out.

the Jason.
What's illiteration? Is that where you illustrate the same letters in a row?

That being said, I don't know WHAT evidence Frank had to assume it was Scott, so you'd have to ask him. But I, personally, never thought it was ... Scott has far too much to be doing to waste his time. PLUS, the kid's a lot funnier and wittier than anything on that page.

People don't try to keep me on their goodside for any reason in this matter other than the fact that this page is admittedly (by many of my haters) - lame and stupid. As for not being able to do anything for people ... I'd say that's a fair assumption, the music is what needs to stand in the end, I have always only wanted a place to share my thoughts on my personal musical tastes. That's all AP is .. it's something I enjoy. I don't help the bands I do because they are on my good side, I do it because I love the music, I support good people, and my visitors want it. Nothing more ...

[heyRomanticA__x]

... microsoft has spoofs, apple has spoofs, google has spoofs. In my opinion, that's good company to be in.

Everyone needs to get over themselves. Focus on reporting the news and changing the music industry. The current model is ready to die as digital music is on horizon. Pretty soon, independent bands are going to be phased out, what happened to "wanting to play music for the sake of music" rather than, we got signed by the imprint of universal or island. Jesus, get over yourselves.

I think everybody involved in this thread needs to lay off the Starbucks.

Same here

[Drew Beringer]

Hmm, I'm kinda disappointed they didn't have a clever name for me :(

[TimeAsIdeology]

this photo on their main page, not homo-erotic at all. heh.:groupflip

bro #1: "hey bros! let's all get together and bash ap.net! this fraternity ain't doing shit for us here!"
bro #2: "bro! you're just like.. bro-mancing the stone! let's go watch football, drink some natty ice and holler at some freshman girls!"

Yeah dude, nothing says Fraternity like geeks constructing a web page. Quite the fucking detective you are.

[thewebguy]

Ahh, you may be decent with Flash and PHP, but you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Seriously. Maybe you should be redesigning the P!aTD website right now instead of talking over here. First off, I never threatened or took any sort of legal action, because I don't have to. And I quote from domainsbyproxy.com. "Prohibitions: Domains By Proxy will not do business with you, nor protect your identity, if you: Violate the law or infringe a third party’s trademark or copyright." The legality of Fair Use (which you obviously don't know a whole lot about) wouldn't even come into play. Second, actually talk to a lawyer about fair use some time, you'd be shocked at what you can't actually do. 2) I never planned to take any sort of legal action, at all ... just release the name of who registered the domain name. Fuck, I want this shit spread around ... it's free publicity and word of mouth for me and this website. Why would I care if people spoof AP.net - myspace has spoofs, microsoft has spoofs, apple has spoofs, google has spoofs. In my opinion, that's good company to be in.

no need to get personal (and it sounds like you're slamming greg at goat farm design, the guy who designed the panic site.. don't know why)

parody is one of the 3 main types of fair use. since absolutechump is clearly making a parody of this site, and not using your trademark in order to trick people into thinking that they are at absolutepunk.net, they are protected. it would mean they are not actually infringing on your trademark / copyright.

while it's not quite legal action, trying to force domains by proxy into giving up the information of their client is exactly what the **aa's do with their cease and desist letters etc. hopefully they will deny your appeal or claim or whatever the process is. if they give up the information, they have broken their own terms of service, and sold out their customer.

[NameTaken69]

they have way to much time on their hands over there

[Jason Tate]

Uhm. If I were you, I'd call a copyright attorney before you make legal assumptions that a simple google search disproves. Call me what you will, but if someone hides behind a mask - someone else will find out how to remove the mask. The fact that someone wasted their time to hide their identity is what intrigues me. Why does anyone need to hide? Why are you so adamant to protect this person? Interesting. Furthermore they are following the letter of the law, not going against their TOS.

[musical monkey]

maybe you should apoligize to scott heisil for calling him out and being totally wrong and then changing the thread title.

[Jason Tate]

Ask Frank ... he's the one who did it. Dunno.

[TimeAsIdeology]

Ask Frank ... he's the one who did it. Dunno.

This is YOUR website. YOU should not have allowed it to happen, and when you found out about it, YOU should have immediately taken it down.

If you're a manager, and one of your employees does something to fuck up a company action, guess who the CEO is putting the blame on, YOU, the boss. The employee will be dealt with as well, but since he's under your jurisdiction, the blame comes to your desk. So don't pull the "I had no part in it" card, that's bullshit.

Also, you obviously know nothing of law whatsoever. Educate yourself.

parody...i dunno man. 311 had to stop production of their "7-11" store logo spoof tshirt because of the threat of legal action. i dont claim to be an expert on the subject, but i think your walking in to territory that you are less familiar with than you think.

ps- people should chill out. the site is a lame, slightly funny parody of ap.net. tada. end of story =).

Drew is too cool for school.



And to that kid, dont get your panties in a bunch either.

Me too. Even Douchebag McLeod would've been cool. But instead, we're left out on a key part of AbsolutePunk.net's colourful history.
