    If I thought I could legitmately earn a million bucks by plagairising other's work, I'd have been a criminal long ago.
    Thanks for helping me. Please allow me to he human. I'll do my best, likewise for you. I've found more peace in forgiveness than in the pursuit of flawlessness.

    That's the difference between us peasants and rich folks.

    While we can think of a million things to do with a million bucks...its their spare change.

    So I am reading it correctly? This was a photo of a Marlboro ad? Well, who the hell took the original picture in the ad? Isn't that copyright infringement?

    I think it walks that very blurry line. But I've wondered that myself, goo.

    I could'nt spend that kind of money on such a thing and not feel guilty. Spending so much money on something so insignificant seems wrong when it can be used for so much more.

    Let this be a lesson to all of you. Do as many nonsensical "art" peices as you possibly can... and one day one of your works might go on auction for 1.2 million.
