Hahahaha first thing I noticed when I saw it. The best is i saw a couple dirt sheet sites describing it as a "1980's inspired baseball theme" lmao

Because there likely isn't a problem.

PBR is getting shredded on Twitter. Amazing.

What a dumb tweet. It's like they've never heard of fair use.

 

[Cor]

Yeah, there is nothing wrong there.

The thumbs up seems to indicate they are making a joke.

It's not a thumbs up. It's a middle finger.

Sure looks like they're giving him the middle finger there.


EDIT: M.C.G. 31 beat me to it.

All they did was make themselves loojk like jackasses and increase cena's shirt sales.

These are the type of idiots that go on youtube for copyright claims on parodies they have no rights over.

Oh, geez.

I've never had PBR, but I've heard it's really, really bad.

They could probably use the publicity.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Looks like a blatant ripoff to me. I think PBR has a case (Pun intended).

 

[bruins309]

That's fair use. I have a shirt for Jackson Hole, Wyoming that is effectively the same theme.

 

[NYGBleedBlueNYR]

I'm from beer country & there is very popular shirt in the same idea but instead of cartoon Cena it simply says "WI Born & Raised"

 

[Del Preston]

PBR sucks.

Yes but your shirts will not be on national TV almost every week for a few months and have huge sales totals.

PBR definitely doesn't need publicity.

Shirt design doesn't even seem that close to me.

No, they don't. WWE can freely parody it under fair use and they can't do jack **** about it.

People get away with trying to copyright things like this on youtube where the system is abused but in real life situations like this, PBR won't get anywhere besides getting their ***** rinsed out by people on twitter

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Bully Ray's jack daniels shirt is more of a copy than Cena's

 

[Loosie]

They clearly haven't seen John Cena's John Deere, Nintendo or AWA style shirts.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

I had never heard of PBR.

 

[bruins309]

I had never heard of PBR.

They've been working that "Blue Ribbon" gimmick since 1893, about as long as Cena has been in his current character.

Does this actually fall under parody fair use law? I don't see the satire or irony.

If PBR wanted to be witty they should design special wrestling parody cans using the likeness of WWE wrestlers. Unfunny fruity pebble guy can would be a good one although Fruity Pebbles might get involved.

In the end though it was pretty stupid for PBR to tweet that. On a separate note I truly hate Twitter. Despise even.

 

[Emperoreddy]

They apparently pulled the shirt so PBR went over Cena.

When reached for comment on this Rusev said "yeah but Cena gets his win back times three over the next 3 months."

Now THAT'S satire.
