If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, what do you make of these Chinese movie posters that completely rip off American movie posters — in some cases for movies that aren't even knockoffs of the original? The posters for everything from "Ocean's 12," "Sherlock Holmes," and "Ides of March" to "Taken," "The Departed," and "Love Actually" have been unabashedly jacked. The worst in our book is the "Flag of Our Fathers" knockoff: How you gonna take one of the most famous images of American ass-kicking — the raising of the American flag at Iwo Jima — and sub in the Chinese flag for some flick called "Earth Shattering"? Commie bastards. Let us know what you think the biggest rip-off is in the comments.
