Yeah he's so lazy, he should really make his own website

To be honest, it took a lot of effort finding another color scheme from the original site's beautiful blues.
There really is nothing Newgrounds has done, that hasn't been doneelsewhere. The question always remains. When, though?

My answer to everyone is: "Suck my nutz."

Actually it is, it's pretty famous on the internet (there are many videos of it on youtube).

Also it kinda inspired me to try out art and shit when I was a kid.

Singaporeans. They're too kiasu, they beat your ass to a bloody pulp for chewing gum and their leader bashes the opposition (well, sometimes, but I generally have a picture of Singapore as a clean, wealthy city).

Hey, I suggest that we should get the designer to be caned 5000 times for stealing our logo! Yeah!

Hopefully he's making some money off people stealing his shit from the site. It seems to happen more often than not as of recent.

wat. I always thought JohnnyUtah's real name was Johnny.

I'm pretty sure he got his name from 'Point Break'.


It tolls for thee.

It's precisely because it's a monstrosity that makes us love it. You know how it goes.

it's obvious that the tank logo is very irrevelant to the show.
which draws me to the conclusion that the logo was plagerized by some ng enthusiast.
I don't think that anybody should be sued for liking ng, loving the tank logo, having an underpaid job, hating their job and thinking that nobody will care what they do because they're too small to make a difference or be noticed. Let that small person have their way with the logo you sure make his life less miserable with your awesome site and evergrowing portal.

PS: People tend to steal amblems and stuff in east asia. I don't think they are the least disturbed by the act. They even feel good about "knowing" something that they can use.

They didn't even bother to change anything except the color of the tank.

This isn't the first time this had happened. I remember a thread about an australian store using the NG tank a while back, but I can't seem to find it.
