I thought that with the election a week from today, it might be timely to give it a second life.

Below, the original post.

MorphWorld: Did Romney rip off Romika?

Sure looks like it to me.

But I'm sure Romney's lawyerbots are already out in force preparing their motion for summary judgement against Romika's forthcoming copyright infringement suit.

On the other hand, the 91-year-old shoe manufacturer's mouthpieces might be asleep at the switch as the cluetrain speeds by.

Wouldn't be surprised.

Full disclosure: I've been a happy Romika user/customer since 1983, when I first discovered their incomparably comfortable Mokasso (below).

Don't they look inviting?

FunFact: They're even more comfy than they look.

And they never wear out.

I'm wearing them as I stroll along on the treadmill typing these words.

And pajamas, that goes without saying.

IANAL, but it seems to me that the applicable law would involve trademarks. I wouldn't think this would be infringement for that, but it seems to suggest a certain...lack of originality on the part of Mitt Romney, which shouldn't come as much of a surprise to anyone that has been paying even a little attention.
