"On August 23, a few days after the Cracker Barrel news had swept the internet and sparked countless blogs and articles ( even we wrote about it), Twitter user Kodiak posted to the dying social media site the "full 1987 film RoboCop rendered as the Cracker Barrel logo." You might be wondering a few things, namely: Why? Well, don't worry, Kodiak doesn't want to leave you with a mystery. Why did they re-render RoboCop as the Cracker Barrel logo? "Because nothing matters," posted Kodiak."
"Another question you might be pondering-between never-ending thoughts about Cracker Barrel's new, boring logo and what it means in relation to modern-day society-is a simple one: Is this legal? I'm not a lawyer. I'd probably say no, but these days it really does seem like law and order is out the window, and the rich and powerful can do whatever they want."
Cracker Barrel changed its logo after nearly fifty years, prompting widespread online reaction. A Twitter user named Kodiak posted on August 23 a rendering that replaced the Cracker Barrel logo with the full 1987 film RoboCop, captioning it "Because nothing matters." The video gained viral traction, earning over 550,000 views while remaining online. At least one viewer seemingly watched the film on a big-screen TV. Questions about the legality of posting a full commercial film were raised, with the poster and others suggesting it likely violates copyright even as platform enforcement remained lax. The clip was spotted by Garbage Day.
