Conservative YouTube Steals Its Smokin' Logo From Philip Morris
There's already some derisive buzz about QubeTV, the video sharing site for conservatives who claim that liberal media giant YouTube won't let them play in its digital sandbox. I haven't had time to wade into its archives, but I notice that it's off to a great start by appropriating part of its logo from Altria (A.K.A. Philip Morris). Are the Qubers just lazy graphic designers or image-remixing copyfighters? We'll see what happens when the first cease-and-desist letter arrives...

Or are they bankrolled by Altria? :-)
Watch out guys. If you are too mean they will have to start their own tobacco company, too.

How ridiculous, in their blurb they mention "serious videos" as being, among other things, from the Family Research Council! Hahaha!

That place is beyond creepy. It's like being inside the head of a FoxNews junkie that is alternating between meth and oxycontin.

Maybe they need another alternate reality for the stuff even FOX News and the Drudge Report won't touch.

They are probably bankrolled by the militias, especially Idaho militias; the League of the South, The neo nazis, the catholic republicans, the Fox News people like O'Reilly and Hannity, Chris Matthews, Glenn Beck, Joe Scarborough, Tucker Carlson, the rethug party, Tim Russert, Phyllis Schlafly, Laura Ingraham, Peggy Noonan, the neocons, the moonies, the Cheney family, the Brownbacks, William Donoghue, Tom Monoghan, current and previous popes(of my religion) and the entire Bush/oil crime family of republican pro-lifers who are only pro-birth and pro-death as long as they are not doing the dying. All of whom are in bed together. Why pro-death, Iraqis, Afghanis, our troops.
And they call themselves pro-life when they are nothing but pro-death.

Since the"Q" in "Qube" came
from a company formed before
Altria...how can this be?

I just took a long, hard look at the logo, and while I don't necessarily agree with Qube TV's...er...mission...the logo is not identical, it uses different colors in different squares. I don't know if it really is similar enough because it's a different size and a different arrangement. Take a close look for yourself. Of course, this isn't enough for some lawyer who will doubtless pounce on this...

They even stole the name. There was a QUBE cable television channel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QUBE. I wonder if Warner Brothers has the name rights, still?
