A picture is worth a thousand words. But was it really worth $3999.95?

Being that I am a gamer, I get double lolz out of this post over at balloon-juice.

In memory of Andrew Breitbart who passed away not long ago. Patriot Depot had this picture up for sale. Oil painted on a canvas for a nice low price of $3999.95 each:

Majestic. I mean, he looks like he has baby hands but majestic. A few people did manage to purchase these too. But then it seems someone recognized the armor from a particular game.

So not only is it an expensive piece of photoshop, it’s also a copyright violation.  People recognized the bit of armor and contacted Ubisoft. Not long after that the websites that promoted the picture were eventually taken down. Who would have guessed?

 

Update

It seems the news has broken over at Kotaku.
