Two Great Bald Heads Think Alike

Being the observant little things we are, we couldnt help but notice Business SAs swish new billboard out and about over the past few weeks. The only thing is, that bald head rang a few bells for us. After scouring the memory banks, and our book shelves, we finally worked out why it looks sort of similar to one of our favourite books Unleashing the Idea Virus by Seth Godin. (It's definitely worth a read by the way - the book, not the billboard.)

Orange background check!

Bald headed dude check!

Eyes looking up check!

At this point were thinking, come on guys, fess up, ya ripped it off yeah? Admittedly Business SA's head isn't flipping open but it is flipping close.  But having spoken to the honest to a fault Chris Crago over at Business SA (who was one of the good guys before she crossed over to the dark side and became a client) it turns out this really might be a case of two great bald heads think alike. (Not that Chris is bald, but you know what we mean). Apparently Chris herself came up with the concept and she swears black and blue (and orange) that shes never even seen that book cover. OK Chris, we believe you...  The pic was a stock image too, so maybe it was the photographer who was 'inspired' by the book cover. Or the book cover that was inspired by the stock image... ah, whatever... this isn't crime busters, just a casual observation. 

Oh, and apparently this is just the first in a series of outdoor about to hit, so keep your eyes peeled to see what they rip off next. Just kidding...
