This little guy needs a slogan and damned if I can think of one. Your mission, should you accept it, is to come up with a slogan for this pic...keep it as short and simple as possible. This messege will self-destruct in ten seconds......

Stop, Thief !!
Somewhere....somewhere....
I have seen the background of this image somewhere....and the original artist isn't this guy.
This, in no uncertain terms, constitutes art theft. You know, copyright infringement? This coming from a guy (I use that term rather loosely) who professes over and over to be on the right side of the law and always plays by the deviantART rules. While we're on the subject let's review a couple of his "personal works" and see just how law abiding he actually is:
Stomping Grounds looks awfully familiar....because he stole the images directly from Google Maps.
The little dipstick goes on to steal other items...some obvious, some not so obvious.
C'mon, do you really think he traveled to Malaysia and took that background shot himself?
California is a long way from Virginia, but it's very (extremely) unlikely that he stopped in the Bad Lands of the Dakotas to take a few snapshots for his scrapbook.
Personally, I've actually been to Finland and Norway around Christmas time...cold as all hell, beautiful countryside, really friendly people....but you don't see many of these rolling around.
Ummm....I'm not sure where he was going with this one, probably the whole Saint Shego thing, but she obviously wasn't headed to Disneyland or Disney World.
So, the next time you hear him spouting off that usual "oh woe is me, poor lil' picked on me...I always play by the rules" nonesense, two simple words should come to mind:

Fear and Loathing
As I am no longer a member of the deviantART community I no longer need to live in fear of repercussions or reprisal...that has already happened. I've read quite a few deviantART journal entries and countless comments, most of which expressing everything from sympathy to outright anger. To those comrades, my fellow deviants, and friends who expressed their....well, my thanks to you all.
My hatred, disgust, and outright loathing of one individual is no secret, but now.....now you get to see his name.
That name is turbolover175.
Some will see this is a personal attack. Everything I work for, everything picture I poored my heart and soul into, every line, every color, every character, every fucking word....everything is gone. YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY GOD DAMNED RIGHT IT'S PERSONAL!

Banned
Dear Sir or Madam:
On 10/23/09 my deviation "Fight Club Airline Safety Card" was removed by your staff for copyright violation and I was subsequently permanently banned. This is nothing short of a gross error. My deviation was based upon an original black and white "test copy" for the prop used in the movie "Fight Club". Ultimately this version of the prop was not used in the movie, although it is very similar to its final version. I however, colored it in the same manner and color pallet as the actual prop. This "test copy" was personally given to me by Chuck Palahnuik, the novelist who wrote the book "Fight Club" (on which the movie is based).
Furthermore, I have personally reported several images on your site for flagrant copyright violation, but the images were not deleted. In more than one instance the reason I was given for the image not being deleted was because the original artist / copyright holder was not the one who reported it. Somehow, I doubt very, very seriously that someone affiliated with Art Linson Productions (the production company for the movie) reported my deviation for copyright infringement. This uneven-handed brand of justice seems to be quite the norm within deviantART.
Respectfully,
