Because I said so!

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

Unbelievable disclaimer on a new Maxim-related website (covered by PDN) that says, essentially, “we don’t need no stinkin’ permission to use copyrighted materials…because we say so. So there.”

Well, if that’s the way life works now, I’m the new Empress of the West and all of you have to send me buckets of cash in tribute…because I said so.

Sheesh.

If you make images they may be interested in, keep an eye on their site and sue ‘em when they steal your work. Please. And let us know when you do.

Goofy creativity, good and bad

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

Sometimes goofy creativity is a great thing. Take this site (which I found from Coudal Partners) which teaches us how to prevent mind control via the perfect tin foil hat. The writing is hilarious and the illustrations silly but appropriate. What a great piece of creative goofiness.

On the other side, there are those creatives who mangle pop songs for ads. Here’s a site that points out many of the offenders, including two of my top three (“Crumbelievable” and “Turning 23″…ACK!).  They’re only missing the Burger King abuse of “Melt With You” by Modern English.

What creative goofiness have you done lately?
