The Pirate Bay Goes Simpsons
Written by Ernesto on July 28, 2007

The popular BitTorrent tracker The Pirate Bay celebrates the release of the first illegal CAM version of “The Simpsons Movie” with a new logo and t-shirt design. Yet another slap in Hollywood’s face.

“The beloved movie we’ve all been waiting for is out. So to celebrate we did a new logo and t-shirt in honor of this great show.. I guess you all know what show I’m talking about!”

At the new logo on the frontpage we see The Pirate Bay crew, from left to right, Brokep, Anakata and Tiamo.

TPB itself is temporarily renamed to “Evergreen Bay”, inspired on the home address of the Simpsons family: 742 Evergreen Terrace in Springfield.

The Pirate Bay is known for rebranding their site based on current events. When Apple’s OSX x86 leaked. in July 2005, they renamed the site to the Pear Bay, and linked to the leaked torrent. Back in July 2005 The Pirate Bay put up a logo inspired on Grand Theft Auto for the release of their new website, the Grand Theft Bay.

In good tradition, and to piss off Hollywood even more, the new logo on the frontpage is linked to the “simpsons the movie” search string. For all the fans, TPB made the new Simpsons logo available as a t-shirt in the official Pirate Bay shop. The shirts are available in limited edition, so you better hurry.
