Why does Patchy own so much bootleg spongebob merch? I thought he was his #1 fan?
>>152138602There was a law, or at least some FCC standard at the time, that actual merchandise for a show couldn't show up in the show itself. So they did this to get around it.
>>152138602That is super merch only the true fans have.
>>152138602You can only have so much official merch
>>152138602He knows bootleg merch has more soul and if anything consider it stuff he personally made or had commissioned like a real fan.
>>152138694Reminds me when Disney rejected a show taking place in the parks due the FFC thinking it would be a big AD
>>152138740why would he commission off-model spongebob
Nothing wrong with owning bootleg merch. The money you pay for official stuff doesn't even go to the artist. A corpo keeps it.
>>152138740I have tried to commission merch on etsy, but twice the shops closed down before I could order from them.
>>152138763Might have been neat
>>152138694But spongebob was on cable
He's poor
>>152138602He stole a buncha shit
>>152138763Favreau's Oswald show is taking place in the parks, FFC dosn't give a shit anymore
>>152140735Is that why he's a pirate?
>>152141072FCC only cares when they are told to care.
>>152140680The FCC still has authority over cable, albeit a looser one.
>>152138602That's the guest room; the real merch is reserved for his own room
