I don't think it's totally unlikely for two guys to hit on that though. Don't get me wrong, it's funny, but it's essentially someone else's words (Jose's) + a well-worn meme (demotivational posters). Found art is still art, but if I were Sean I don't think my feathers would get ruffled over it.BronzeHammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13908490737750052622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755499102053199917.post-67956566273905480662012-04-02T21:19:19.144-04:002012-04-02T21:19:19.144-04:00Nope.

If he'd cited Sean's work, that would be awesome, but it's passed off as an original concept.IMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01896814779096110550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755499102053199917.post-81202631069052506292012-04-02T21:18:25.053-04:002012-04-02T21:18:25.053-04:00It's the whole recontextualizing Jose's tw...It's the whole recontextualizing Jose's tweets as poster slogans, which is clearly Sean's invention, and a fairly unlikely and creative one at that. That it "just occurred" to Chandler, a former Deadspin editor who presumably still reads the site, strikes me as a bit of a longshot. Is it possible? I guess, but the timing and similarity is striking. I mean there are so many other ways to mock Jose's tweets without making them slogans on posters.IMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01896814779096110550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755499102053199917.post-88154209531707944202012-04-02T19:52:31.316-04:002012-04-02T19:52:31.316-04:00I think IMG reaching here.I think IMG reaching here.Rick Chandlerhttp://www.fuckoffimg.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755499102053199917.post-51898904070978046462012-04-02T19:40:24.939-04:002012-04-02T19:40:24.939-04:00Not trying to be a dick, just legitimately asking:...Not trying to be a dick, just legitimately asking: is the plagiarism that Rick Chandler also transposed Jose's garbled mess of a tweet about polar bears onto a picture of polar bears?

At first I thought they just re-posted his stuff. But that's not the case.Rec Specsnoreply@blogger.com
