I started a class called Avatar Makeover and now NCI has stolen my name and is offering a "Avatar Makeover" class.

I have no idea why they are too stupid to come up with something original.

Sorry to hear about that :(

I would like to assert, however, that "Avatar Makeover" is not terribly original in this day of "This-or-That Makeover" shows and books. It seems plausible to me that they came up with the name independantly, it being somewhat generic in nature.

Is the actual content of the class the same? That would be far more telling, in my mind.
