Think Plagiarism
I wonder how long Apple legal will take to rip out EasyJet's metaphorical trachea for this one?
Spotted on the London Underground at Aldgate East Station, two billboards either side of the tracks featuring in big bold letters the term "Think Differently" an obvious and blatant ripoff of Apple's acclaimed "Think Different" slogan. I can almost hear Steve's ninjas now, but for the fact that Ninjas are silent. Everyone knows that.
For the uninitiated Easyjet is a low fares low frills airline operating out of the UK, run by the entrepreneur Stelios Haji-Iannou, who's penchant for painting things orange and making them cheaper is only matched by his love of slapping phone numbers onto every available surface his projects present him with.
(note the pics are only of one of the billboards but the other was identical)
I'm sending an email to Apple legal cause the folks over at AtAT could use some more UK courtroom drama to add to the current beatles related lawsuits against Apple computer.
