We don't actually know if this is plagiarism wank, unless someone out there is an internets lawyer
Here's some Project Runway plagiarism wank to go with the lovely vanity pub and author wank. I hope it goes without saying that there might be a spoiler or two for the finale, but I'll say it anyway: There are spoilers for the finale in this post.
Project Runway "villain" and finalist Irina had a shirt in her final Bryant Park collection that has all the reasons she loves New York written on it. Oh, wait. Those aren't the reasons she loves New York, those are the reasons that someone who wrote a famous New York Magazine article loves New York. And this is the same girl who was going to featureConey Conney Island artwork in the collection until she was told that it would be copyright infringement? And NY Mag says that she didn't ask permission? And I don't even have to tell you that this isn't going to end well, do I?
And then she won, with the judges praising the idea of the text on her shirt in particular. Needless to say the wankers come in and do their little turns on the Project Rungay catwalk:
- "OMG plagiarist h0r!" [1, 2, 3, 4]
- "The judges and the show are all failtastic because the judges didn't recognize the quotes!" [5]
- "We don't know that she actually claimed these words as hers! The producers could have just edited it to look like she did!" [6]
- "So what if she plagiarized? Who else would you want to win? Loser McLoserton or Failtasia of Failville? They both sucked!" (Now with bonus Snacky's law innvocation!) [7]
- "She just stole the words, it's not like she stole someone's fashion design!" [8]
- "We don't know... if it's plagiarism, unless somebody out there is a copyright attorney." [9] (Yes, that is the actual quote.)
- "I'm taking a leap of faith in assuming plagiarism occurred. Also, this other girl totally copied too, since she also made baggy sweaters and outfits with sashes." [10]
- "Everyone who's upset is just a dilettante who cares watches the show for the drama, not the fashion." [11]
And this is less than twelve hours after the finale aired. I'm sure there is a lot more to come.
