Don’t hate on me, player. Hate the person who faked the image. Or hate duck duck go for putting it at the top of the page :-)

I don't hate the bullet, or the manufacturer of the bullet, or the gun - instead, I hate* the person who takes aim and (or, conversely, closes his eyes and blindly) shoots my Pekinese.

I don't know what "Duck Duck Go" is. So I ask: Did you not see, prior to posting the image, what that image would be? How could anyone want to post an image here without first inspecting it? Or did you view the image and say, "Eh, close enough"?

I'm serious: I'd really like to know!

Regards,

*No, I don't hate you, moneyshine. I'm just making a point.

Duck Duck Go is a search engine. Google gives better search results, but I try to avoid it. Sometimes I have no choice when DDG delivers poor results.

In this case you asked “why”, the straight answer is I just wanted to post quickly. So I searched, saw the artifact, right clicked to copy image link, and then pasted it into the reply.

Here is the source article where the image came from.

As to why anyone would make a rendition of a rendition I can only guess that they wanted to avoid copyright issues. But it’s not like Kubrick is the only person entitled to put Clarke’s ideas into graphical art.
