ACURA CAR COMPANY RIPS OFF ODDWORLD!!!
 
If anyone watchs TV, they may have seen this car commercial on, for the Acura.

The music is EXACTLY the same from Oddworld's intro, when the guy is getting beat right before the fire in AE..

But there is a quiet, crappy beat in the background... SUCH a rip off!
Unless Oddworld stole it from them somehow!

What mockery is this? Acura should be sued!!!

acura what isn it and where was it on tv

Come on Freaky pay attention: "ACURA CAR COMPANY". Hmm, it would only be a guess but I think Acura could be a car company, but that's just my guess.

And where was it on TV? With another guess I'd say America because I think that's where Sodd lives.

I am unable to see the ad for myself, since I live in Australia. I also don't have AE so there's no way I could compare the music. I hope OWI finds out about this.

It's the same music in Abe's Oddysee when it boasts 'an A.L.I.V.E. Engine'. Y'know, at the beginning.

Surely Oddworld would have copyrighted their music in order to prevent something like this from happening. You hear lawsuits on unauthorized use of music all of the time.

IMO... I hate car commercials, they are always so boring. If someone were to rip off Oddworld music, it could have at least been something interesting.

Welly welly well then my droogies...

I am Canadian btw!
And proud!

hehe.
I saw it on CTV/MCTV!!
And I'm positive, completely, 110% sure, it was Oddworld's music....
You think I could bribe Oddworld? tell'em "Gimme 2000$ and I'll tell you who ripped you off so you can sue em!"
Cuz I'm BROKE as a skunk and I need me an XBOX!

I guess you'd better bribe Acura, for NOT telling Oddworld. Then you DO tell Oddworld (who leave you anonimous) and reward you for it. Paid twice! :eek:

sodd 05-28-2001 10:54 AM

Why how clever of you...

I JUST MAY send'em a lil e-mail...

Wish me luck!

PS. Do you want 10%?

Cloverfield 05-28-2001 11:25 AM

Although Oddworld read the forums from time to time (Alf is a member, but hasn't posted on the new forums yet), so it could be likely that they have found out about this already. Let's hope so anyway.

Ok , 10 % , it's a deal.

sodd 06-09-2001 05:17 PM

Well...

Could anyone help me out here???

I can't find the Acura car companies e-mail..
I don't think they have one.

YAAAH. that's it.
