Sky Ad

Has anyone seen the latest ad for Sky MovieMax?!

It's a complete rip-off of Xiaoxiao no. 3 and a bad one at that!

Are Sky allowed to get away with doing this?

Yeah, I noticed that too ...

Maybe someone should mail the creator to let him know his work is being ripped off by a huge soul-less corporation!

Yeah I saw that myself and was mightily ****ed off. More than a few "OMFUGGA",s and pointings were used.

But what can one man do against the corporate might of Murdoch Corp?

/me waits watching sky moviemax every hour of the day ..waiting and waiting for the add to show...

Hmmm. Well I have to say that not only is the ad a copy but it's a crap one at that. The fighting isn't as good and the animation isn't as smooth IMO and don't get me started on the ending!

I wrote to Sky and complained yesterday but didn't get a reply yet.

You mean they're taking something that's enjoying some cult success and using it to sell us something we don't need?

Now they've just gone too far.
