Indeed that. One point to the little orange dinosaur.

The thing that amazes (and angers) me about this whole thing is that Shia keeps apologizing for "forgetting" to credit Clowes, but still has yet to apologize for the act of plagiarism itself. I guess he seems to think that if only he had thrown in the credit of "based on" or "inspired by" and then included Daniel Clowes in the credits, then there's no harm, no foul. The problem is that wouldn't have solved the issue of Shia's name being erroneously listed in the writing credits and the fact that he was never given permission to legally adapt the material in the first place. Why is this not being addressed?

It would be like me stealing music originally composed by Teague and claiming I wrote it. Then, when everyone cries foul, I simply go, "Sorry, I forgot to add Teague's name to the credits of this piece. I fucked up," when the real issue is that I didn't ask Teague if I could have/use it and that I put my name anywhere near the "creator" credit. sure, maybe Teague originally wrote it for the piano but my deciding to perform it on a Moog does not then make me the sole composer.

Or we've caught our first replicant.
