Jinan University: The Cornell of Bootlegs
Last year the Daily Princetonian caught China's Renmin University using an unauthorized rub-off of Princeton University's homepage web design. Today an intrepid reader tips us off to another eery homepage similarity, between Jinan University (also in China) and Cornell's homepage.
Some will argue creative dishonesty; others, cultural relativity; still others, feigned and/or apologetic innocence (at least, that is how we imagine the Jinan folks will react). All I know is, if it's the same copycat mentality that enables 50-cent bootlegs in Chinatown, it's fine by me.
Full-size screenshots for your comparative pleasure, here and here.
