Terrorists Sue Gang-Bangers over Misappropriated Acronym
A Palestinian Terrorist Organization is suing a
According to Popular Front veteran Ali Basher, “There was a young man getting arrested. He had a tattoo that said ‘PFLP’ and he said he wanted to give a shout-out. We were really flattered. It’s not everyday you hear about the Popular Front on the Zionist-controlled Television media. This was going to be good publicity. But then we hear, “This goes out to all my boyz down in lockdown! Playaz Fo’Life Posse 4 Eva!’”
Basher was reportedly crestfallen.
“I just couldn’t believe it,” he told reporters in an impromptu press conference held in a secret arms tunnel. “We’ve been using that acronym for over thirty years. Ask anybody.”
The historical record is on Basher’s side. Most Middle-East and terrorism experts concur that the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine was created in December 1967, shortly after the Six Day War. In 1968, the Popular Front joined the Palestine Liberation Organization, adopting its doctrine of “armed struggle” against
But the Playaz Posse says these facts are irrelevant. “This is one fucked up piece of litigation, yo,” said gang leader Jamaal Stevenson, known colloquially among his peers as “Greasy Steevie”. “We’ve done our homework. The PFLP acronym is part of the public domain. There was never any filing of a trademark or copyright whatsoever.”
When asked to respond to this, a senior PFLP member responded, “Well, gee, I could have sworn we mailed it in… whatever could have happened to it… Especially since we have such great postal service! Asshole!”
Stevenson was unfazed by the criticism: “There’s nothing illegal about what we’ve done. We’re just being singled out because our organization has a high proportion of lower-class African American youths.” He cites the fact that other organizations have used the PFLP acronym in the past, and there has never been any talk of legal action against them. Stevenson, a part-time law student at UCLA, has filed a counter-suit against the PFLP on charges of race-based discrimination.
Several days ago, PFLP founder George Habash gave an exclusive interview to Barbara Walters as part of a “special” edition of “Twenty/Twenty: Friday”. In it, he responded to the allegations of racial bias and discrimination.
“First, I would like to point out that there have only been two other groups who used the PFLP name. In both cases, not only were they fellow Palestinian freedom fighters carrying on the armed struggle, but they also had the professional courtesy to change their names slightly to avoid confusion and potential conflict. The PFLP is known for two things: fighting the Zionist oppressors and our kick-ass acronym.”
Habash pointed out that the Playaz Posse had also seemingly co-opted the color red for their uniform, which has been standard Popular Front attire for decades. Stevenson fired back, calling it a “freaky coincidence”, and alleging that the colors are a sign of solidarity with another LA gang, “The Bloods”, with whom the Playaz Posse is affiliated.
“What it comes down to is this,” said Stevenson on Wednesday. “The PFLP has, at maximum, around 800 members. We have about 2,000. They are currently fenced in on all sides by the Israeli security barrier. We have freedom of movement, thanks to the mediocre but functional
The PFLP has yet to return comment.
