Design Crime – Case #2
Sigh… I hate to make an example out of people.
However… for the good of design everywhere, from time to time, it must be done!
The culprit this time around is piracy.
Piracy! You shit!
For all the good in the world piracy has done us; free music, movies, porn etc. it’s also hurting us.
I’ll explain this as simply as I can so the culprits can understand too. Piracy means that our beloved Adobe products and other software of the trade are in the hands of every would be designer and their retarded cousin that no one talks about.
‘This can’t be too bad surely?‘ you ask with the strain of speech inherent to your kind.
YES IT CAN!
I present to you now the criminal!
Porketel Inc.
As I’ve said, I hate to make an example. But this crime could not go unpunished!
They are not alone in their act of villainy, the web is littered with this eye-puke! The real problem here is that some poor sap is going to actually cough up money for these fellows and forever lose faith in the value of good design. They are churning all our hard work and talent to dust in one shot!
Here’s the stuff they’re using to promote thier business…
For those not in the Afrikaans know.. Olinosterfant is a fusion of the Afrikaans words for elephant and rhinoceros. Right? Got it?
The Crime:
I’ll forgive the bevel on the elephanoceros and the fact that it’s an elephaneros, but for this there is no excuse:
Congratulations Potketel Inc. You’re this weeks lucky winner!
Your prize?! An elephant penis in your company portfolio! Woot!
