Funny revenge against design copycat
The "you thought we wouldn't notice" blog shows examples of art and design copycats. This one is funny:
Some french dude [right] ripped off my website [left] but still linked over to my images so I hooked 'em up with a little custom weenie treat. You gotta visit the actual links on this one and scroll to get the full effect.Link

Two things to note:
1. The original site, while neat, rivals most flash pages in terms of usability (or lack thereof).
2. The offending site has been hacked, so there's nothing to see.
Farked.
very cool - and a clever way to deal with someone stealing your image. What a dingus to just leave the images linked.
I love the original site - there's not too much there, but it sure looks cool when you scroll down. Good for someone doing unusual design. It reminds me of those "how to break into design" books that tell you to send a packet full of amazing stuff you've designed with barely any contact information so the company you're courting has to do some work to find you...it makes you seem much more important, and possibly even so famous that you don't really *want* that contact.
Next, please design something that I can slap on all those rackin' frackin' praying and/or urinating Calvin stickers, will you please?
Cool. Way to dick around with his site.
I've done that "switcherooo on the server" trick for people who have stolen images before. It's a good one.
I posted on "you thought we wouldn't notice" in October about another rip of my site... found because he left my referral logs script in the code. Just went back to check and he still has the site up. Lame.

Might want to post an update - site's been hacked.
