It's still funny and fits the contest.
How does it fit the contest??
Post original bitcointalk.org art in this thread along with a Bitcoin address. Any art you post must be created by you.
I feel like this should be considered true plagiarism. It's crazy it received so much merit, only if the guy drew these images himself should it deserve that much merit.
Also, even if he gives "credits", it doesn't mean the artist that created it is ok with him taking it and defacing it, then entering it into a contest. He didn't create anything unique or original, merely defaced another groups artwork without their permission and then wrote his name on it as if he did it, then entered it into a contest meant for unique and original artwork. The fact that he posted it without any credit, and signed his name on it, says to me he meant to steal it as his own work.
Had I of known I just had to come up with funny comments to plaster onto someone else's image, I don't know why I would have spent so much of my time creating a unique piece of work.
This dude didn't even take the time to center his text in
At best, it's an insult to those that spent actual time with their work.
