Drop The SOPA

I found it funny that someone who commented on the article about EA's lack of stance actually had something similar to today's comic.

Also, if you belong to an association and they support something then you also support it. You can't sign up for the KKK and then go on to explain that you personally have no problems with people of other races.
EA can try to play it off all they want, everyone knows where their loyalty lies. My question is whether anyone will actually react or demand something from them. I fear we'll know but still pay millions a year for their game and they wont think twice about supporting a bill like SOPA (like ACTA) again.

Hahaha! I have to say that was great, the reference and all. A great number of men have said "Appearance is everything." When you side with 'bad guys,' you can spend the whole day reflecting your position, but in the end you are still sided with them.
This is something that even people who are new to the SOPA/PIPA threat can understand. It's going to hurt the rep of quite a few places, but in the end, people will still buy something if its good enough or they want it enough. That right there is why all those 'boycott EA' threads from long ago never amounted to much, no matter the reason for it, although, this would have possibly put it over the edge if it had passed.
Great comic fellows!

I made the same comments months ago with the NRA, though I kinda prefer the Klan comparison for effect.
Since SOPA has died so often in one week, people are fairly safe in being skeptical of the "death" of PIPA.
Not to mention, PIPA sponsor Pat Leahy has drafted several pieces of legislation like this which have only grown more bold with time. The next bill might not be so nice.
Well yeah, that's why people aren't sure it's gonna die. SOPA has been shelved like three times this week, twice "indefinitely."Irridium said:

Is it bad that I want to hear about hobos being eaten just so I'll get to see another Critical Miss?
This is probably the most hilarious thing I've ever read, considering most of the people who wrote the SOPA/PIPA proposals don't know what the feck they are.Grey Carter said:
Even though I'm from South Carolina and the KKK is a black mark (among many black marks) on the history of my area, I still can only think of O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Though SOPA and PIPA are merely undead at this point. I believe a "double tap" is in order to keep them down.

Spanish is my main language (being mexican and all that), so this is the first thing that came to my mind when I ever first heard of the term "SOPA"Dreadjaws said:
Seriously though, pointy ghosts are funny when they're racists
LOL. I thought of that too a couple of times. Though mostly I think of having dinner.SupahGamuh said:Spanish is my main language (being mexican and all that), so this is the first thing that came to my mind when I ever first heard of the term "SOPA"Dreadjaws said:

So this comic made me think of this picture that I saw a while ago.
Yeah. So whose up for some understanding?

Alright, I've got a quick question about the nature of the ESA. Is it, itself, its own entity? That is, is there a big ESA company building with ESA exclusive management/CEO/etc? Or is it more just the collective term for all the companies that are in it? Like a home owners association, or the way the "NFL" is really just a council of football team owners (I know that's a gross simplification of the NFL, but that's my general understanding of it...and said understanding could easily be mistaken. If so, feel free to correct me. This post IS so I can get clarification and answers, after all )
