ME SELL TEES WITH GREAT ART, DURHUUURRRR :B
I don't hear a peep about this story in my Flist, and I know some of you will be frothing with rage when they learn about this new level of art theft :

In short : Todd Goldman, of the David & Goliath "boys are dumb, throw rocks at them" fame, traced one of the most famous pics from Purple Pussy -if not the most famous- on a paint which was then displayed in an art show. And maybe, like the other paintings, offered for sale at +- 1.000$. woekitten, acrimonius, wait before you go for his neck, it gets better. Way better.
No need to say that Dave Kelly -alias Shmorky- isn't very happy with those news and he, along with at least another plagiarized artist, has planned to take legal action. SA Goons aren't happy either, and the thread is incredible because once in a while one of them comes with another blatant ripoff. Then you think "holy crap, this can't get worse". But one uncovering chases another, and finally your brain matter splashes everywhere in your room.

EDIT : hahaha OMG, there's even worse. Two pages later, someone caught sight of two things : first, the original owl was flipped horizontally. And second, Todd didn't even take 5mn of his precious time to remove the original twig, which doesn't blend with the new tree. ARGH XO
And somewhere in the middle of this, certainly angered by the emails flocking to him, Todd set up an automated reply that basically said "DURHURRR I MAY BE A THIEF BUT DAVE IS A FURRY PEDO DURHURRR". With a link to a porn gallery of drawings. Classy :B
