I hadn't thought of putting broccoli in them - maybe this could be a way of getting him to eat vegetables! (He isn't as fussy as some but greens are definitely a challenge.)

]]> Comment on A Rebuttal by H Conrad O'Briain http://www.theoddsock.com/2010/02/12/a-rebuttal/comment-page-1/#comment-8145 H Conrad O'Briain Fri, 12 Feb 2010 09:40:08 +0000 http://www.theoddsock.com/?p=579#comment-8145 I am curious to learn how Daniel W. supports himself. Has he ever had anyone pass his work off as their own - this doesn't just happen in the applied arts. It happens in office reports, in academic research ... Tha first major research I ever did was taken by a senior academic and given as a public paper under his name. Note - no mention of the source of his facts - of his research assistant beavering away with no direction - and having to learn to read another language to do it. In the sciences joint research is common and papers are often floated with a 'captain and crew' but this was not the situation. And I, a first year graduate student, was in absolutely no position to do anything about it. I am curious to learn how Daniel W. supports himself.

The design company obviously used the image as a starting point, but it was changed, most importantly in tone and also was apart of a bigger, different and, in my opinion, better image. You could never mix the two up. She hasn't lost out on anything at all. I can't remebemr who said 'its not where you take it from, it's where you take it to' but he/she was right. If you're against this you're also against collage and sampling. This is ridiculous.

This is what happens when companies lose the very heart and soul of their business and go after profits at the expense of product pride. I think that now it is even more prudent that people shop with their hearts and appreciate paying decent money for a product created with love, time and effort rather than some shameless reproduction. Paperchase will now go for me the same way that others have before and will not have any more of my hard earned money.
