    Default Holy Dalek lawsuit (pending)

    http://paulscoones.blogspot.co.nz/20...of-daleks.html

    A 'slightly altered' Dalek appears in a power company advert in NZ 'same power, different attitude'.



    Why - that power would set me above the Gods!

    Oh, and they had a game. A robot Dalek appears as Santas helper to collect presents ...

    Cue the fans saying that it's a better design than Moffat's new series Daleks?
    Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

    It's based on the cover of The Dalek Book, isn't it?

    I've just got my handcuffs and my truncheon and that's enough.

    This has been quite a controversial campaign actually - they had to withdraw their Kim Jong Il and Saddam Hussein posters because people told them it was in bad taste.

    Likewise the Lucas estate wasn't impressed with them using Darth Vader without permission ...





    So instead they decided "Terry Nation can't be that litigious ... he's not even alive anymore ..."

    Mind you, it gets them noticed. I will certainly be buying Powershop products the next time I'm in New Zealand.

    The way it's going, it's more an ad for their legal firm than for Powershop...

    Aww I thought this was an update of that man who has a drawing of Davros which the BBC ripped off?

    (I'm not calling him a liar, I'm just pointing out his case... but I didn't call him a liar.)

    As for this one, I hope they get sued into the last century!

    Hmmm - when you think about it, a Dalek doing balloon modelling. This is the kind of thing they did in the Power of the Daleks. All friendly, friendly, bring your kids ... and then ...
