Cause DT, since Portnoy left, have been all about the high road.
This is a pretty low road. Someone else pointed out that the robot hand holding a human skull has been done MANY times before. So this story implies that DT is SO huge and revolutionary, that the NYT, in their struggle to convey an original thought, went to steal work from DT.
I dunno. Maybe most people read it and love DT more for it. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Luckily I know DT themselves aren't involved with this. But it just seems petty, spiteful, and childish.
But since I appear to be in the minority here, and the minority (as has been stated) don't matter, I'll back away. Carry on.
