not really
sometimes the "things" and "friends" you enjoy the most, will hurt you the most, and play an ultimate factor in how you leave this earth.

i've had that shirt fora few years, but then I saw this guy with darkside pattern pajama pants, and I retired that shirt. I sitll love floyd, but animals is a better album...so is metal.

that reminds me of this time when I heard something from some guy about some company doing skate-graphics that are similar to various popular music groups.  examples mentioned included Iron Maiden and The Misfits.  Then this guy started takling to some other guy about profit margins, and I just put my hands over my ears because I didn't want them to spoil the end (of skateboading).

It's Toy Machine; I'm sure they'll be a 7.75 release soon.

Here's your answer: They both suck. The first one to rip off something legendary like this probably sucks harder than the last person because they opened the flood gates. this is skateboarding. People are supposed to be creative. I know it's not the case anymore because most skaters are basically jocks but it would be nice to see a return to some creativity in skateboarding again instead of this 'fuck yeah! that's funny and ironic!'
no, it's not.

In case you didn't know - people have been ripping of stuff for skateboard grapchis for aged. Partly the whole graphic culture is based on ripping of something old and "legendary". Go but a copy of Disposable and get familiar with the subject.

 happy hour doesnt seem to be too creative either.
"we were going digital, ignoring all but the most core matter from history and focusing on the most complicated structures in order to make our lives more simple, but we could not escape from the cage, the past, and "reality" so we surrendered to short term drug euphoria." - John Albertson (on LSD)

Yes and no. They have their ripp offs and they also have something new to offer. You'll notice it taking a closer look at that website.

Then again, is it creativity if a big company hires a hot desinger (who is propably not a skater) from the outside to desing some new graphics to them? Just wondering.

Its a well done rip-off, but I'd never wear it.
