Imitation Of Life.

Televisa (Mexico) is ripping off R.E.M.'s video of "Imitation Of Life", for their Beijin 2008 campaign:

Televisa Deportes Rumbo a Beijin 2008.

R.E.M. - \"Imitation Of Life\".

LInk.

  1. The GENERAL idea is similar, but I wouldn’t call this a rip.

  2. ripoff, or homage? i realize the distinction isn’t very clear when talking about imitation, but hey, i doubt r.e.m. would mind much that their imitation of life video is being imitated for an olympics coverage promo.

    in any case, i have no sympathy for those televisa asshats. not only is their sports coverage terrible, their commentators are chronically ignorant, and in general they’ve been a rancid, dinosaurine monopoly for far too long now.

    still, this is, to me, a (an?) homage. “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”, right?

    complete non-issue.

    next!

  3. Actually, the song that they sing on the promo is a copy of Nigga´s (latin singer) “te quiero” hit

  4. This isnt a rip you freaks! if you dont have stuff to put on your page… dont put anything.. dont came up with something stupid
