Steve Aoki and Parody Site in Cease and Desist Battle
. For the uninitiated, Wunderground has made waves in the EDM community with posts poking fun at the scene such as "Electric Daisy Carnival Exposed as Giant Nursery for Babysitting Drugged Teens" and "Richie Hawtin Cancels Set After Mistakenly Forgetting to Wear a Black T-Shirt," going after mainstream culture and underground icons with equal comedic ferocity. Aoki has a been a frequent target on the site, but it was a recent post that purported to sell a t-shirt emblazoned with the slogan "Ask Me About My S- DJ Impression" on the front with a picture of Aoki's face printed on the inside of the shirt that's revealed when it's pulled over the wearer's face that pushed the "Boneless" producer and his legal team over the edge. In a lengthy and detailed post tagged "Real News," Wunderground editor Mikey Maguire mocks the cease and desist letter, maintaining that the shirts and the Indiegogo campaign to raise money in order to print them was an obvious joke.
