Smosh Sued for $20 Million
I am an avid fan of Youtube.com and I have subscribed to a lot of people there making really cool video. I frequent Smosh Productions a lot, and I find both Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox as equally talented and really funny.
Apparently, they are being sued by Shogakukan Production Co. Ltd., the creators of Pokemon, for the Pokemon Theme Song parody they made a year ago. The video has been taken off Youtube, but I was able to find it on Andii2000’s account. [View Video]
Here is the video they posted on April 1, April Fool’s Day.
No one really knows if this is true or not, be it that the video was posted on April 1. Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox are selling their stuff on their official website to raise the amount of $20 Million Dollars by the end of next week. I think that $20 Million Dollars is too much a price to pay by 20-year-old boys. I mean, there are a lot of videos on Youtube right now that should be flagged and give DMCA notices, but why try to take down these two? They have been on top of Youtube for a very long time.
Maybe this is the biggest April Fool’s joke, but who knows? Only Anthony and Ian have the answers. If it is a big joke, they got me big time!
If you want to help, just go to Smosh - Buy Our Stuff, although I think that the prices are ridiculously high, but then again, $20 Million Dollars is a huge amount to raise in less than 2 weeks. Well, they did get us big time. It is April Fool’s, so we just had to be pwned!
