Robbed by YouTube!

Is it me, or does the following ad for YouTube’s political channel “borrow” heavily from the cover design for The Grievers?

  1. You’ve been ripped off. But not totally surprising–we all know the media is full of hot air.

    Holy cow! It sure does.

  3. I’d say you have a case. They could have chosen another color for a balloon. But no!

      Exactly… It’s not like red balloons are common or the subject of famous French films or anything.

    OMG, amazing, hey in the positive it means more exposure at least in how the brain will pick it up when they see the red balloon. Just trying to find the good. The funny thing is that in your book, a balloon can signify many things as well, depending on what each character that plays or touches the balloon does with it. I found it awesome.

      Thanks so much… and you make an excellent point! It’s almost as if YouTube is giving me free advertising!

  5. Litigation and royalties, if you ask me! Win-win (remember product placement at the hearing)!

  6. Yes, it does seem like an amazing coincidence, doesn’t it?
