A day after Page Six breathlessly reported how GQ “ripped a spread” straight from the pages of Maxim comes the news that Blender borrowed a Moby quote from rival Spin.


The March 2008 issue of the latter mag features an interview with everyone’s favorite vegan in which he says “as far as the very brief affair I had with Natalie [Portman], it’s made me the target of a lot of nerd wrath.”

The May issue of BlenderJoe Levy‘s first at the helm — quotes Moby as saying,” I was the target of a lot of nerd wrath.” A good quote for sure, but worth stealing from your archrival? We think not.
