Poor Bloomberg copycats…..bad luck eh?
thedailyfeed:

Did Business Week rip off a 1994 cover of The Economist?

The latest issue of Business Week, which discusses the merging of Continental and United Airlines, depicts two planes flying through the sky in tandem, positioned in an unmistakably sexual manner. The text above reads, “Let’s Get It On,” as if the analogy wasn’t clear enough already.
Cute … except it looks very familiar. The Economist already had that idea, and they used it almost 20 years ago. The September 1994 edition of the UK mag features one camel mounting another, with the text “The trouble with mergers” plastered above.
