Now, I haven’t said anything about the whole BP fiasco, if for now better reason than I didn’t have anything to say that had not already been said. Then, one day, while driving down the highway a semi when flying past me and an idea was born:

  I appreciate your ego-centrism but the internet is a big place.
  
  Both images are derivations of this:
  
  I merely combined it with this:
  
  And then I spent about an hour painting it green with The GIMP.
  
  So, if you are going to bring up this bullshit, remember that yours is one of about one billion pictures on Flickr, that’s only been viewed some 700 times in four years and until today, I was not one of them.
  
  Finally, you’ll note that since yours was a photograph of a screen while I just edited a logo I got of of Google Images, mine doesn’t have the textures that can be seen on extreme close up.
  
  In close, go to hell.

  Hey look, other places that “ripped you off”
  
  One
  
  Two
  
  Three

  Hey look, here’s one that’s much closer to mine:
  
  BP Globe
  
  and another one
  
  BP Globe
  
  This one’s date is after my post:
  
  BP Globe
  
  Oooo and another one
  
  BP Globe
  
  There are probably others. Odd though, in all that searching never once came across yours. Maybe that’s because it’s been viewed about than 700 times in 1,460 days. Not a good way to stay on top of the search engines.
  
  So apparently the whole internet is ripping you off.
