Shia LaBeouf Apologizes for Plagiarism Using Sky Writing

Posted on January 2, 2014

Shia LaBeouf continues his spate of apologies to Daniel Clowes via Twitter. The latest apology gets points for creativity, although given his history we are a bit worried that someone else has done this before as well. Shia hired a sky writer to write the words "I am Sorry Daniel Clowes" across the skies. He also tweeted a definition of the word cloud: "CLOUD: - vapor floating in the atmosphere, - remote servers used to SHARE DATA, - to make LESS CLEAR or TRANSPARENT." We have no idea what that has to do with plagiarizing dialogue and plot from Clowe's comics to create a film, though. That thud you hear is Shia's attorney hitting the street after he looked into the sky and saw his client's admission against interest written in the clouds.
