Would have been cooler if they had just outright licensed it to begin with. My guess is someone "designed" this without revealing the source of inspiration and got busted.

It's clear you've never worked in an ad agency.

These made me twitch a little. I've been subjected to more than a couple of these.

Another crappy "design" being passed off as something clever. Aside from what has already been mentioned, having to remove everything from it to tear off a page, let's see how useful this thing is when there are only 4 or 5 sheets of paper left in the stack.

A) agreed

I think Gary Johnson is actually a pretty viable third party candidate this go around. I'm not voting for him because Im in a critical county in the swingiest of swing states, but I'd like to see him reach 5% to get their party in the game for the next election cycle.

I disagree. I think Cook is perfect at running/managing a company like Apple that thrives on control of their supply chain. It doesnt mean he has to have ANY input into the design of the product.

Heh, maybe I need to do more research.

Silly me, I thought it ended in 1945.

After watching the trailer, I think it looks interesting, I just think it looks poorly cast. I like Hanks, not a big fan of berry, but I've seen these people in too many films to think of them other than what they represent here. And to some extent I think Hanks looks ridiculous made up as all those different…

Again, read what I wrote. I said RELATIVE to each other, a person who creates such art from scratch (memory) holds a very superior talent to one who just looks at a photo and redraws it. It takes talent to do both but the one who does it from imagination is far more skilled. Am I doing this kind of work, no, but I've…

I completely agree. It still takes a serious degree of skill. My larger point is, that it's an even greater accomplishment if the artist does this essentially from memory rather than use a photo as reference. I cant tell by looking at the article where he's getting the source material.

HAHA I can always count on some douche like you making a comment like that. Im not doing large scale repros like this guy but I've done enough art to know that what I said holds true. If the guy made it up, then kudos to him for an amazing minds eye and ability to put it on paper.

Anyone catch the source material? If he just made this up off the top of his head, then it's 100x more impressive than if he's just basically photocopying a picture.

If you're waving it around, unlikely your are going to create a problem. The sky is a big place and planes move through very quickly. It's the people that focus it on planes that are the problem.

Also the Fisher Space Pen co developed the pen with private funds, not taxpayer dollars.

Between Romney's sons and this jackass, i hope to god, allah, the flying spaghetti monster, whoever that I don't have to listen to these bozos for the next four years much less be subject to their Taliban-like attitudes.

They sold these back in the 80's. I doubt they look any better now.

Someone needed to explain to Reagan the definition of a scientific theory.

As someone who has been retouching for many many years I can tell you these changes are SOP, not to mention pretty minor. Changing clothes is par for the course. Why make them pose in multiple garments when all you really need is one pose. All in all these really aren't very scandalous. After all this is exactly what…
