:: Wizards of Ripoff! ::

Our buddy Michael Sieben emailed us to let us know of yet another instance of corporate lameness. We all know that Urban Outfitters is king of ripping off small artists, but what's the deal with Fresh Jive using Wizards of Radness as their URL for some clothing line when that was pretty much the title of Bueno's skate video- Wizards of Radical that came out 4 months previous? Seems like another rip to us... Hire Sieben for the campaign. He could use the $$$ or hire people who are actually creative enough to deserve such a salary!
