Oh my god, Nissan you win the internets. Nissan/Deadmau5 presents...OMFGtr

[Ns1]

Story:

1) DJ/Producer Deadmau5 had a Ferrari with a custom/ridiculous wrap that he called the "Purrari" (sp?)
2) Ferrari got all pissed off after Deadmau5 got custom floormats/emblems on his ride and sent him ceast & desist
3) Deadmau5 unwraps Ferrari
4) Nissan wins the internet (photoshopped but I bet they deliver). Quadruple bonus points for the Supertroopers reference.

How can a company prevent you from customizing your car?

I'm guessing the same way companies like Apple or whomever can lock your phone case to prevent battery replacing/customizing, etc. You know: "brand protection."

basically: Bullshit.

Now, as for Ferrari...I "kinda" agree with them, but I still think it's bullshit. DJ should be able to do whatever he wants with his 250k auto-velocitator.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Haha that's great. Screw Ferrari for being douches about it though. The Purrari was a pretty funny name/idea.

I also like the name Nyanssan.

Probably the same way software companies can stop you from copying or modifying software that you bought, because you don't legally own it. Also known as retardation.

I think the cease and desist was because he altered their trademark. If ferrari didn't defend the trademark they could lose it.

Heh, mashable says:

A call to Ferrari's international number in search of a spokesperson to explain the reasoning for the letter was answered by a man who repeatedly said "No English" before hanging up.

Love it.

that actually makes sense.

This is so fail I think I might actually cry.

 

[mmntech]

Is Nyancat still a thing?

It was actually meant as a joke since he said he should do it and everyone told him he'd never actually do it, so he did.

He brought Rob Ford for a ride in it too. :biggrin: Somewhat entertaining video if bored.

Rob Ford actually seems like a pretty cool guy too.

I think it's hilarious that he's still in second place. The home boys love him. He actually hasn't done anything controversial on the policy front. Which is why the left is attacking his private life. Things were much worse under Miller.

So fucking stupid. Nothing screams masculinity like driving a rainbow meme'd car called the Purrari.

who gives a fuck about masculinity when you pull 8 digits a year and can drive around in a rainbow meme'd car called the Purrari.

I'm sure the dude gets so much pussy that it's falling out of his pockets and he can't even be bothered to pick it back up.

 

[MrPickins]

Not sure how it's trademark dilution if he's not selling a product with the (altered) mark.

In this case, it seems like parody, which would fall under fair use.

[darkswordsman17]

I thought he was a chickenshit for how quickly he submitted over it. He was either already going to be selling the car (saw that mentioned somewhere when the original news about the cease and desist) or was a total fucking pansy and immediately returned the Ferrari to stock (which took probably all of 5 minutes to pull the vinyl wrap and swap decals...).

He should've put it up for auction for charity just to fuck with Ferrari.

But I never understood what the big deal about it was in the first place. Wow, some rich guy pandering to his audience gets a custom vinyl wrap and decals for an expensive car.

Cool of Nissan I guess, but meh, plus the Purrari won't work, and that was the main issue with the Ferrari.

Internet memes are never funny because I don't have a sense of humor.

[sandorski]

I wouldn't do that to a car I owned, but I am pleased someone did.

I still don't know why people give a shit about a vinyl wrap and custom decals. Big whoop. It's not like money has hardly anything to do with that. Now, maybe if he'd had Bugatti paint and custom match the interior, I'd be impressed. A wrap and decals on one of the most mass produced Ferraris of all time is meh as hell.

What if he prefers dick? Or likes both?

Yeah maybe if you are 60 and want to look like you have manhood problems. I know which one I would rather own, i'll give you a clue, it rhymes with dissan.
