YAAAAARG walk tha plank!!!

So i was doing a google search for something and stumbled across this bittorent website and was surprised to see THIS... lol Wow is this really happening?




The first thing that comes to mind is this graphic artist sitting in a government building; then a guy in a black suit walks in and gives him specific instructions on what to illustrate to put on a website that will be shutting down due to piracy. EVERY graphic artist no matter how affiliated with the government, church or otherwise at one point another has downloaded a song, software or game online. The imaginary expression on his sarcastic face as he creates this graphic is the scene of a lifetime.

What i find particularly amusing is they actually use the websites domain and webspace to host the banner haha. I was expecting something like

Surfing Madonna

Some of you may have heard about the "surfing Madonna" mosaic that was installed under a bridge in California. Since it was installed without permission the city is calling it graffiti and although they like it- they are considering it "graffiti" because it was installed without permission and they don't want to set the president that people should be installing beautiful works of artwork on public property for free... because... well... you just cant be doing those sort of things.

and my usual uplifting rebuttal:

"the problem is simple, let us destroy ALL artwork and there will be no problem. All you people that think art should be anywhere, artwork has always offended people (that is a fact) and should be done away with permanently. Look at all the money that is wasted on removing artwork? Think of all the people offended by it? Dont get me started on religion, that is next to go."
