Viola!the original:

the imitation:
http://www.visitlosangeles.info/…I would have thought a city as large as LA would have had the budget to employ real designers, more budget than us lil' ole New Zealanders anyway.

Telling the truth is better than ingratiate someone. Or I'm wrong?

Oh, sorry Seal, we can't all be on the maturity level of using war for profit and fun. Come on, let's go play metal gear solid!

odd, i was actually on the nz site a couple of weeks ago. and i thought to myself "this site was made by people who know what they're doing". sure it's not a site that blows this little community of our's to it's bone, but it's not supposed to. it's just one of those site you think "yeah, good stuff".

Its not like they even copied the design, they stole the actual Flash file and pointed it to an altered text file. The actual swf. Thats pretty funny I think. Points for sheer unashamed thievery.
newzealand.com is a government site (Tourism NZ) its not meant to be a l337 dezine. It's all about meaningful information for the punters.
SEAL, I refer to an old episode of Married With Children, when Kelly Bundy proudly proclaims VIOLA. Don't worry, not everyone gets the intracacies of dumb blonde humour right away.
