Nine’s bloodsucking promo team gets back on plagiarism patrol with a VILF tribute

Remember HBO’s provocative marketing campaign for the new series of vampire drama True Blood in the US?

Clever, wasn’t it, that VILF line?

The promotional team at Nine’s digital station Go! certainly seem to think so.  

Guess how they’re promoting Vampire Diaries?

You may recall that the Nine promo team are the people who brought us the Bear Grylls/ Rescue Special Ops plagiarism patrol. If nothign else, at least they’re consistent.

The team and Nine seem to steal a lot, they stole one of my photos and used it with out my permission and then threatened me with legal action when I tried to get them to credit me.
