The "End the FedNow!" merchandise is pretty clearly parody.
The stuff that just has the "FedNow" logo is borderline. I wonder why organizations do this, highlighting the logos of organizations they oppose. I have an EFF hoodie that says "National Security Agency" on the front and "Defund Big Brother" on the back, and I get questions all the time of "Do you work for the NSA?" and then have to turn around and show them the back. I wish parody apparel was always parody at a glance.
- ry4nolson 3y agoI think even just the "FEDNOW" standalone stuff could be considered parody. It's different from the real logo and I'm pretty sure the "O" is supposed to imply surveillance or that the fed is watching you.

- tomjakubowski 3y agoit's parody on the level of "MiKKKro$haft" - parody by idiots and for idiots. so it should be protected, of course
- bhawks 3y agoGiven that the NSA was created in secret and did not become public knowledge for many years after it's establishment I can see the subversive side of spelling out it's name on a hoodie. They still want to be No Such Agency.
