OMFG! The blog gangsign gets marketed!
 This is some bullshit! On September 23, 2005 I blogged the blog gangsign that I made up. Lots of people linked to it and bloggers everywhere started frontin'. At the beginning of March this year I showed it off again at etech. Later that month some toilet paper dude totally bit it with no link love, as if it was his idea. And now some loser made a t-shirt out of it and is probably making mad loot off of my idea. WTF? Did they give me any credit? No. Any giant royalty checks? Hell no. I can just see those chumps now, probably rolling in their brand new Bentley laughing it up. That shit is WHACK! They think they can get away with this but they can't. I have NWA on vinyl for crying out loud. Shit's about to get all kinds of sketchy. Someone needs to step the fuck off and quick like. Update: Here's the Wiki Gang Sign Bitch!

Yeh, I was just gonna post that link here. He beat you to it by about 6 months. Posted by: Michael on April 10, 2006 08:29 PM
Well, that's tight that you came up with it too man. I made the shirt, I've never seen your blog, nor have I ever seen the hand sign except when done by my good pal Jake: http://kkrew.org/g2/v/0405/Digital_205.jpg.html The date was the 25th of March 2005. You've only been jacked by a time machine. Posted by: shredthrashgrind on April 10, 2006 09:58 PM
Oww...knuckles ... Posted by: chris franklin on April 10, 2006 11:42 PM
No way dudes, I made this up 7 months before the first blog ever went online. Posted by: sean bonner on April 11, 2006 12:00 AM
you first did that in september 2005 and you seriously think you were the first one to ever do it !? Posted by: jake on April 11, 2006 12:41 AM
Dear Jake, Please see the comment directly above the one you just posted. Love, Me Posted by: sean bonner on April 11, 2006 07:31 AM
it might just b a coincidence.. Posted by: adman on April 11, 2006 07:42 AM
Shut up. Posted by: Me on April 11, 2006 07:53 AM
Why didn't you design a t-shirt when you 'came up' with the idea? Posted by: Tom Delay on April 11, 2006 08:00 AM
sign might b urs but the tshirt idea wasnt. so stop crying Posted by: bastrd on April 11, 2006 08:03 AM
You gotta make blue shirts then, then work it out in the streets. Posted by: drowsy on April 11, 2006 08:08 AM
Yea you complain now just because the artist is getting $2k. You seriously think you're the first one to ever do that?? Posted by: ggreger on April 11, 2006 08:10 AM
Tom Delay - first off, big fan man. Second off, when you have as many brilliant ideas as I do, there is just no way I can be personally concerned with marketing every one of them. That's what my 85 person marketing staff is for. I'll have to have them beaten and denied food for messing up here. bastrd - It's my blog and I'll cry if I want to. Posted by: sean bonner on April 11, 2006 08:12 AM
fair enough its ur blog. but i think ur going about it the wrong way. you should b proud someone took ur idea to a diferent level. and you should be trying to make your own tshirts too if its that important to you! Posted by: bastrd on April 11, 2006 08:19 AM
I think Sean's being facetious, not fascist. Y'uns need to get a sense of humor. Posted by: Nate on April 11, 2006 08:28 AM
OMG, I haven't laughed this hard in a while. Posted by: courtney on April 11, 2006 10:08 AM
i drew a smiley face in first grade once. now some guy ripped off my idea and is making a bunch of smiley stickers and tshirts. life sucks. Posted by: cdog on April 11, 2006 10:20 AM
omg, i made that sign up first!!! im going to tell everyone on the internet that it was my idea first and both of you stole it =( Posted by: heh, on April 11, 2006 10:27 AM
no way, i was the origional creator of this sign, i want full credit Posted by: its mine on April 11, 2006 10:29 AM
Awe crap. That's going to sell better than my Whassup-Elian shirts! Posted by: Jim on April 11, 2006 12:07 PM
cry me a river, you tool. Welcome to world outside of your mom's vagina. Posted by: ted cannon on April 11, 2006 12:08 PM
Oh! Oh! Insults now! Best step back, or I shall have to use ... SARCASM. Posted by: mack on April 11, 2006 12:22 PM
Okay, this is the "jake" that shredtrashgrind was calling his good buddy, im not sure who the other one is but its not me. I would like to apologize because Ilias, Michael, and I DID fly all the way out to California, tracked you down, watched you invent the "gang" sign, then flew on back to Minnesota, took our time machine back 6 months and "faked" the picture in Biology. Pretty good cover up, eh? And now we reap the benefits of winning ONE Threadless contest. We live in the highest class around everyday. But you snooze you "looze" especially when your enemies have a time machine. Ours is a DMC D-12 DeLorean, i dont know what your other rivals have, any one want to compare time machine schematics? Posted by: Jake on April 11, 2006 02:31 PM
That sucks Royal Donk Posted by: Kent on April 11, 2006 09:06 PM
What. You think money falls out of the sky onto the laps of people like you? You deserve it for the lesson I hope you learned: profit from your ideas or retreat to some anarcho-syndaclist commune where the other losers are going to give you "mad props" for coming up with an idea but doing jack shit with it. Welcome to the real world, nizzle. Posted by: R on April 11, 2006 09:24 PM
Are you mad because they stole your idea ? Or are you mad because you didn't think to make some money off of it? I doubt you had plans to make you "blog" sign into a T-shirt design. A little less conversation, a little more action. Posted by: Kent on April 12, 2006 07:42 AM
You have now joined the ranks of such luminaries as Griffy (Bill Griffith) who writes Zippy the Pinhead. How many times have you seen "Are we having fun yet?" without a credit. Posted by: Paul on April 12, 2006 08:37 AM
dude i had this in my banner like 2 years ago, plus i got props on the defunct taleoftwocities for it: http://www.taleoftwocities.org/2004/06/stuff-we-like-this-week_28.php Posted by: nagin on April 12, 2006 08:52 AM
cdog -- someone else has already tried to lay claim on the Smiley Face. It didn't go well --> http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a4_031.html Posted by: jones on April 12, 2006 10:29 AM
What these people don't seem to know is that Al Gore stole this "internet" idea from Sean, as did Dave Winer stole this whole "blog" thing from him as well. It's an ongoing problem. There is no justice in this world [wide web]. Posted by: courtney on April 12, 2006 10:48 AM
Get a life. The end. Posted by: Energy Drink Core on April 12, 2006 01:07 PM
i'm sorry, your what hurts? lesson learned.. you blog it, its up for grabs. cash in yourself next time and save us your lametastic tears. Posted by: treb0r on April 12, 2006 05:18 PM
The whole shit is gay i wouldnt even wanna claim that stupid idea. Posted by: YourBlogSignIsWack on April 13, 2006 10:14 AM
dude, you basically suck a huge amount of balls...come up with a better idea if you want to "be famous" and "make money" asshat. Posted by: pwned on April 14, 2006 12:08 PM
yea you're ridiculous if you're upset over this. It's a way to hold your hands.It might be a little creative and original, but I certainly don't think it is any form of intellectual property to be worried about. If you are concerened about not making money off it or the idea being spread freely, you're a tool. Posted by: a troll with purpose on April 15, 2006 08:55 AM
Once again, get a life. Posted by: Nico on April 16, 2006 06:09 PM
The CS Blogs have been throwing that sign since 1993. The original name of the gang founded by Harold Johsnon in 1993 at the age of 15 was the New Jacks, derived from a group of older lumberjacks in the late 80s, named the Jacks with their turf in Clayoquot Sound. This evolved to CS Blogs and the New Blogs as nicknames for the age of the members. The name Blogs was first introduced in the Georgia Strait newspaper in a description by environmentalist of young lumberjacks with big logs. The name stuck.
