Big Business Bullies
imagined by: James Mathias
My friend Ward over at Mondonation is going through a legal battle with a giant corporate entity over the use of his brand in a new campaign that uses the not so innocent images of Brittany Spears to promote a new fragrance.
In my opinion this is crazy and something needs to be done ASAP.
So please if your reading this, and you dislike design or creative theft, please go check out the full story and then send an e-mail to Elizabeth Arden, declaring your distaste for their blatant thievery.
This has to stop now. One big company gets away with this and then it’ll set a precedence.
Not doing something is worse than stealing a design or brand yourself. So get on it.

I’d no idea how popular/well received Mondonation was until everyone started voicing their opinions on this whole fiasco during the last week, it’s pretty amazing. Britney could spin this her way, if she were to step up and do the right thing perhaps it’d help her and her psycho wielding an umbrella image.
I hope that this all works out in the end.

This is the message that I sent to ELizabeth Arden:
You should be ashamed of yourselves. The mondonation I believe idea has been an inspiration to me and my family. Please withdraw your “I believe” advertisements using britney spears. This is so disrespectful.
It’s just awful. It is just blatant Corporate Theft. I hate this stuff.

I just send Elizabeth Arden a little note. Every bit of support helps! I think it’s just disgusting to steal from a CHARITY organization.

Thanks guys, I know Ward super appreciates the support, he’s good people and doesn’t deserve to be stepped on, by mega powers.

This is pathetic of a huge company such as Elizabeth Arden and whom ever was responsible for the whole image of that nutters perfume. Although it could spin and give Mondonation A LOT of coverage. Here’s hoping.
