Also worth noting is that he added on to that apology a few hours after he tweeted it with a line directly copied from [url=http://www.tigerwoods.com/news/article/200912027740572/news]an apology Tiger Woods gave in 2009[/url] with no changes at all [url=https://twitter.com/thecampaignbook/status/413320195902799873]"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart."[/url]
Then, another tweet after that copied from [url=http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1913028_1913030_1913022,00.html] something Robert McNamara wrote in his memoir about Vietnam in 1995[/url] except changed from plural construction to singular. [url=https://twitter.com/thecampaignbook/status/413320842400264192]"I was wrong, terribly wrong. I owe it to future generations to explain why."[/url]
THEEEEEEEEEN, a few hours ago from right now, he posted two more tweets. The first, [url=http://m.facebook.com/notes/facebook/an-open-letter-from-mark-zuckerberg/2208562130]plagiarized from Mark Zuckerburg in an open letter from '06.[/url] [url=https://twitter.com/thecampaignbook/status/413689357732950016]"I want to thank all of you who have written in and created groups and protested. Even though I wish I hadn't made so many of you angry."[/url]
The second was plagiarized from the artist who crated the famous Obama "Hope" piece, Shepard Fairey, when he was [url=http://www.cbsnews.com/news/hope-poster-artist-admits-mistake/] apologizing for using, without permission, an AP photo for the piece's source material[/url] in 2009. [url=https://twitter.com/thecampaignbook/status/413689407267684352]"I sincerely apologize for my lapse in judgment & I do take full responsibility for my actions, which were mine alone."[/url]
Basically, there's two possible explanations: Shia is one of the most outrageously idiotic people alive and literally has no grasp on what "plagiarism" even is, or more likely, he doesn't care that he's plagiarizing because he's a douchebag and is just fucking with everyone at this point. Either way, fuck him.
i'm pretty certain his "it starts with this: i'm sorry [insert name]" is word-for-word kanye's apology to taylor swift too

this must have all been an incredibly elaborate joke
which i'd fully be laughing at and applauding him for if it wasn't for the fact that the first plagiarism - the comic - was an absolute dick move
...... unless it was an artist statement? i'm so confused now
Why on earth would you go to the website that spawned "how is babby formed" to save your career?
