advertising rips off artist (again) They didn't even try to do anything new and different with their inspiration in this case. *sigh*
That's outrageous. It was one step away from ripping off the actual images it was so close.

yeah, it really irks me how blatant it is, makes me go "GRRRRRRR". I mean, jaysus, at least try to be original. Or you know, call and commission the original artist, duh. Wish I could get more eyeballs on that, it's only being talked about in Sweden and I don't think the Swiss artist even knows! wtf!?

Yeah commissioning the original artist would have been the right thing to do.

Wow, that's incredibly blatant. Damn.

..and the relation from artist image to a packet of assorted nuts is tenuous. The line is "Awaken the animal in you" OH YEAH, well MOOSE DON'T EAT NUTS!

You know what's really making me itch right now? I've tipped practically every ad blogger I know but none have picked up the link/story. Seems they only care if ads rip off other ads. *shrug* I honestly thought those images would take off like wildfire. What the heck do I know.

I posted it on my Facebook. Probably won't help, but it's the least I can do.
