ALOT OF US WILL NEVER FORGET HOW THIS BRAZZERS MOVEMENT ORIGINALLY STARTED. IT STARTED WITH LANDO ON FILIPINO CHAMP'S OLD STREAM PRIOR TO FGTV.

Siiiiiiiick

#6 SECONDED

Posting in an epic thread.

Eventhubs, you waited too long to post this...

L2P!

YES! YES! YES!

So does LI Joe get to star in a vid if he wins the tourney Brazzers sponsors him for?

yo Lando started it

LOL wtf!!
And it's not even April's fools anymore, so...

Just... wtf

LOL, Joe is in there.

I respect it.

MY BODY IS READY!

LMAO AWESOME! Long Island Joe gon' show em how he got that name

HE IS NOT SPONSORED!!! NOTHING HAS HAPPENED

This is a late April Fools Joke right?! RIGHT?!? LMAOOOOO

Gives a new meaning to DP.

This is the best thing since bold cancels.

This is the worst news to ever come out of the FGC.
Little children will be exposed to pornography before they even hit puberty.

Brazzers and LI JOE will destroy the FGC.
Forget about corrupting it. This is devastating news. Anyone who supports this move should be ashamed of themselves.

LI Joe and Johnny Sins for SF x Tekken EVO Team.

"To be super clear, there will never be a reference to this particular sponsor at Evo, in any way, shape, or form."

I'm actually pleased that he got sponsored, this would probably increase the amount of sponsored players from other organizations.
Let's hope that the fighting gaming scene garners more support from other areas.

The stream is hilarious. Is ....that, Mike Ross¿

I cant believe a CUMpany like BRAZZERS is sponsering players!!! I'm fluffed up and ready to win a tourney and turn out b1tches!

YEO I WAS ON THE STREAM MAKING THOSE JOKES!
This is freakin hilarious, oh my god.

(in Booker T's Voice) WHUT DA HAYELL?!

I find this very funny that a joke actually became real and if they sponsor Dr. SubZero then it will be even funnier.

So will they be giving free memberships away on Joe's stream?

LIJoe is NOT sponsored. They have not made an agreement of any sort. This story contains misinformation.

Please correct this.

this is hype best news in awhile

I'm dead serious; if EVO tries to stop Joe wearing a Brazzers shirt at EVO, stops him having his name as BRZ|, then I'm not watching.

This is a great thing. I understand the complaints and what I understand is that the complainers are morons.

Worried about kids? Worried about WHAT? Them seeing the name? I mean, when do kids start watching porn online, like 11, 12 years old, maybe younger? I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

Worried about losing potential sponsers/advertisers? Ones who will actively try to shape the community into a sterile marketing tool, maybe. We don't need those sponsers! How do I know? Because LI Joe just got sponered by a porn company who doesn't want to change a damn thing.

It's also a great F-U to the MLG type events. Games are supposed to be fun. FPS and RPG games in a competitive setting have had all their fun sucked out of them by having non-gamers running events and everyone playing for money and not for fun. Look at high stakes poker; that started out as a grass-roots operation and it's the same people running the events as it always was. And there's huge money to be made and IT'S STILL FUN.

Seriously, screw anyone who isn't overjoyed at this news.

OTG will be a new genre of pornography.

Not trying to rain on this parade im happy for joe and i have nothing against brazzers. But people are already saying they want nothing to do with brazzers like Jebailey so does this mean that Joe and the other potential players wont be allowed at events or allowed to have their sponsor over their name? Also how will other sponsors react when they see a Brazzers player being at a tournament they might not want to be associated with that and won't support that tournament or send their players. This is a very touchy subject and i hope nothing for the best for Joe, Brazzers and the FGC lets hope more good than bad comes out of this.

This news just made me scream what for about five seconds.

fully accept it. nothing wrong about it. hell, they might get some cute girls on major tournaments just for the sake off it. nothing wrong to have them as a major sponsor imo.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Gamers watch porn. Surprised this didn't happen sooner.

Amazing!

This means LI Joe can no longer team with black players because Brazzers doesn't not support Interracial.

YEEEEES XXXxFGC!!!

Best thing that could ever happen to the community

Huh.

btw can someone tell me when / where / who / how the joke started?

Awesomeness

Wow!

BRZR| LI JOE

Porn helped push the internet to the masses. Porn helped push dvd's to the masses. Will porn now help push the FGC to the masses lol???

So the truth finally comes out to why LI Joe was in Cali. He hit up the porn studio.LoL

i dont think you want to bang a porn star.

Ever since this started as a joke a while ago, I have been hoping that they would sponsor Joe eventually. This is great news and I hope that Dr. Sub Zero is the next to get their sponsorship.

Just goes to show what the community can help to make happen. Next, let's see if we can get Hagen Daaz & Pringles to help sponsor Curleh Mustache IV!

He should have just signed with Complexity Cross Counter

Uh, WINNING

Here's the deal, you've got a person representing a fighting game community. Let's look at this in perspective. When I went to EVO I remember hearing "f**k this" and "f**k that" and horrible talk coming from every which way. I thought this because someone said that kids were in the community and that we need to watch our language... where the were the kids? I didn't see a single one. And guess what? F*K ALL OF YOU WHITE KNIGHTS FOR JUMPING AT LI JOE. You all watch porn and you're ruining this for the rest of us.

Kotaku on a roll again!

Check their article!

BRZ BIGDick doublepenetrate | L I joe

Another reminder why the FGC is the armpit of eSports.

WTF SERIOUSLY THIS CAN POSSIBLY HAPPEN? LOL THAT WOULD BE CRAZY NOT GOING TO LIE.

He's gonna have A brazzers t-shirt with a porn star licking an arcade stick. LOL

LONG ISLAND JOE!!! Get it? lol

WTF!!!! That's it man, the fgc is f*cking doomed. I've lost all respect for li Joe, and all you bastards that support this are sick as well.

lol Brazzer Arcade Stick

I would honestly love to see the artwork for a Brazzer branded fight stick lol

if there was ever any doubt that these are some of the fgc's darkest days, this should do much to quell those doubts.

It's ok to admit the truth about 11-12 yr olds Inevitability of being exposed to porn, I mean it dominates the internet and thats sad...

Whats not okay is being totally ok with 11 ,12 or younger children viewership of porn... @41 I thinks thats disgusting you should be ashamed....

This news goes above and beyond the definition of epic.Brazzers Joe for Evo 2012.

Little late for the April fools joke...

YESSSSSSSS

My name is relevant again!

You guys are making it like events are going to stream pr0n by sponsoring a player. It's just 3 letters BRZ in front of a name.

@74 What is wrong with a 12 year old watching porn? Seriously, what is actually morally wrong with that? 12 year olds are not stupid, not by a long stretch and they aren't little kids, either. I'm not talking about promoting it specifically to minors, or forcing it on them or anything but if they're on the internet and they're curious, that's totally fine; everybody does that. I mean, by all means, prove me wrong.

what a sad day for the FGC is all I can say.. the day this community supports this kind of things (and it just did) is the day it will sink! haha...

Seriously though, I am all for players being sponsored. But being sponsored by a company who has nothing to do with the FGC or games in general let alone a PORN company, really brings a new low on the whole sponsorship thing. shame on the people here who support this kind of stuff. And I applaud Tom Cannon's statement (hopefully he'll stick by it) to not support this kind of sponsorship. Please don't bring pornography into this scene. Just don't.

^

Actually Brazzers made a street fighter movie featuring Ryu and Chun li lol

L.I. Joe is sexy, I think the sponsorship would fit... lol. He looks like a porn star anyway. Hot.

If this is real this is hilarious!

This is great news. Why are Americans so scared of sex? It's a wonderful part of life that should be celebrated... or at the very least not shunned like Americans try to do.

Joe looks like the bald guys from the brazzers videos. Lol. Yes I watch porn too sometimes. I'm a guy

His name's Long Island for a reason, other then being from there ;).

lol at all the people who say stupid stuff like "this is disgusting" or something about this being the "dark day of the FGC".

wow, high horse much?

porn doesnt need to mix with video games. and i guess some americans shun their children from porn. when my kids get older im not gonna be talking about porn with them, maybe certain things they should know about, to protect theirselves and thats about it.

Just ordered the new Brazzers Fight Stick: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/...

Too be honost, all the people saying that the FGC is doomed now...I would enjoy not having you guys around anymore! Please i urge you! Leave! If your not down with BRAZZERS im completely fine with you not being a part of the FGC anymore!

AMUUURICA FTW!!!

I'll go a little further and say that anybody who is against this because it's a porn company, I hate you. I understand where you're coming from and I actually hate you, as a person, for your beliefs.

The overreaction to this is deliciously absurd. Even worse that Cannon has already weighed in with a retarded ultimatum.

Money's money, who cares where it comes from?

it's still april 1st in some countries

LI Joe fits the bill as a male porn star. Dude's buff and bald!

Well if nothing else, this comment section definitely exposes that most of the fgc have never been with a real woman. They're clearly too busy playing videogames, complaining about DLC, and jacking off to porn. Its a shame really.

Pornographic Entertainment is just that entertainment, just of a nature that not all people generally like to associate with things outside of it. The thing is Porn kinda like gaming in that there's a heavily negative stigma to it in some areas especially the professional area. The fact is he's not promoting porn directly he's just sponsored by them like a guy is sponsored by kotex in racing, does he support the product no, but they sure as hell pay him to be a living advert.

Tom Cannon says it's okay for women's body parts to be ripped off on stream via Mortal Kombat, but heaven forbid we mention a site that shows bare breasts.

I was not exposed to porn until I was 17 years old, and I have never seeked pornography out sorry to prove your theory wrong but not everyone tends to satisfy curiousity with pornography. I admit to looking into things about reproduction but never porn....

Also it depends on your personal moral and societal standards. Exposing children 12 years or younger to explicit material is wrong to me personally, encouraging it is wrong, and allowing it is wrong...This is also true in the society I live. Now I don't know where you are from and if that's the standard, so I will apologize to you for calling you disgusting, but again from my personal and sociatal standards your comments come off as irresponable and inappropriate.

I don't have a problem with porn but....this is a bit much.

We can't even give women respect in the FGC properly (See SFxT reality show).

Whats next, Kelly Madison host EVO 2013? Yeah you THINK you want that. Just watch.
