Hrmm looks kind of familiar....

So I was browsing a little bit, just another bored night. Logged into my myspace, and for some reason the ad banner caught my eye..

"It looks so familiar for some reason...."

That's when it hit me, this ad looks almost exactly like the Japanator banner, it's flipped and there's more little blips on the glass, but it's far to similar for an accident.



I would like to get a big version of the Japanator banner for comparison, but for some reason all I can find is the piddly one on the bottom of the Dtoid page... if someone could post a large version it would be much appreciated.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

But the real question is can I earn this degree from the comfort of my own home over the information super-highway? Everyone knows only the best schools with the most legit standards embrace the futuristic technology of the internet to spread knowledge.

Yup, its fair use. It's a stock photo we licensed on Getty, we don't own that art. I saw that and quickly pulled it from Japanator's header so we don't get associated for that anymore. It was pretty stupid of me to rely on stock images.
