AdLand is Back
After an amazing 20+ years, AdLand's founder à sk "Dabitch" Wäppling needed to move on. But that didn't mean this amazing website had to go too!
Two months ago, Scott Aaronson discovered that an Australian Ricoh advert from Lowe had taken it's dialog straight from his quantum mechanics lecture.
Ricoh Printers - Smart Models - (2007) :30 (Australia)
Now Scott and Lowe have reached a settlement, to make good for their boo-boo, Lowe Australia are now donating $2,000 of the settlement to BrisScience and $3,000 to the Physics Demo Troupe. Why BrisScience? Because nerds are really funny people, and Scott liked the name:
I immediately asked her to repeat the name.
âBrisScience,â she said.
âSpell it?â I asked.
âB-r-i-s-Science. Why, is there something funny about the name?â
âNo, no, it shouldnât be a big deal in Australia.â
