I wonder how good they are at drycleaning...lawsuits. It's nice to see it though!

I love spotting shops like this, there's a bargain store near me that uses quagmire from family guy's face.

There won't be any lawsuits. Looks like it's just painted on the window with decorative paint. Good job, too.

One of the local laundromats where I live has had Mario and Luigi painted on the front window to advertise their "arcade" for over twenty years. (Last I saw, the arcade is a billiards area and all that's left arcade-wise is a racing game and Soul Edge.)

I see Pip Boy's doing some advertising work on the side to support Pip Girl and Pip Baby.

Wasn't this exact same story posted on Joystiq like last year?...

I'm pretty sure that was a pizza place. And wasn't there NO lawsuit involved in that one? Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the devs think it was awesome?

Wow, so first Ben Gilbert rats out a family-owned pizzeria. Then he rats out a family-owned dry cleaner.
If I remember my GTA plotlines correctly, Ben is going to get visits from sterotypical Italian and Chinese gangs who will proceed to bombard him with an array of submachine guns and rocket launchers.
Keep it up, Ben! While you're at it, are there any New York bodegas you'd like to snitch on?

@copa I agree. Ben, there are better ways of showing support for the video game industry than ratting out random people trying to make a living. It's as if you think these businesses are getting significant revenue from ripping off the characters of billionaire corporations.

We have a chinese restauraunt near us that's blatantly ripped off Krillin from Dragon Ball to use as their mascot.

I personally find how they think working at a local Chinese buffet is a career is quite comical.

@LaughingTarget Don't be a dick. Everyone needs to make a living. Sorry if these people don't have doctorates and 7-figure salaries like you do, rich boy.

Uh, it's still not a career, it's what you do on the way to getting one.
