Great image. Maybe it should be kept updated with new spoilers and turned into the new Rickroll so someone who clicks on an unsuspecting link gets spoilerized. I'm loving the "The kid's therapist is a ghost" one.

At least I can remember Tiger Woods back when he was cheery.

Where the heck is "Samus is a girl"?

It's movie spoilers, not game spoilers. Who here wants to create a game spoiler image?

"Snape Kills Dumbledore" is from a book.

~~There are Harry Potter books now?!~~

...Sorry. Couldn't resist.

I kinda wish that I'd seen all those films, then I could understand all the spoilers.

I've heard of "Soylent Green is people", but I've never seen the film it comes from. I only know it from Rocko's Modern Life, where Heffer was yelling "Chokey Chicken is people!"

And I think Simpsons has thoroughly spoilerized the Planet of the Apes one ("It was Earth all along"), with the help of coming right after the Rock Me Amadeus parody "Dr. Zaius".

The Dr. Zaius scene (video clip, not audio-only).

...why is Cammy's outfit not fanservice friendly?

Weegee, I need that shirt and I need it yesterday (though I'm not sure if Neo being the One was ever really a spoiler). Bozeman, though? Okay, who is it here that lives there...? I feel like I should know this...

There's things in this article that could garner all sorts of Losses, so I'll just put it here. If anything, for those interested parties, it has one definite example of Earthbound plagarizing music.

When people know you're plagiarizing, it's an homage.

Lizard Dude · « **Reply #10316 on:** December 08, 2009, 05:40:42 PM »

Putting Spider-Man in your game is not plagarism because you're not trying to pass it off as your own creation. Nothing in that article was "plagarism". It was all cameos, references, allusions, and international IP infringement. The Uematsu song obviously falls under the Chupperson Argument.

ShadowBrain · « **Reply #10317 on:** December 08, 2009, 08:03:33 PM »

Well, there definitely was humorous intent with that article--like I said, though, it was interesting to see a concrete example of one of those fabled songs Earthbound supposed borrowed.

Weegee · « **Reply #10318 on:** December 08, 2009, 10:20:25 PM »

They failed to mention the similarity between the New Age Retro Hippe theme and Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" (which can, incidentally, be found in the "Related Videos" section).

If anyone has been wondering why I've only been making three or four posts a day here as of late, my absence has been brought about by an unhealthy combination of FFIV and four simultaneously-due projects. BLEURGHH

Does anyone know if there is a definitive list of all the potentially copyright-infringing stuff in Earthbound? It's got to be out there somewhere, if only in the desk of one of Ape, Inc's lawyers.
