Shia LaBeouf Apologizes For Plagiarizing Graphic Novel on Twitter, Moves on to Plagiarizing Apologies After Critics Won't

Didn't like that the first apology didn't stop the tweeting

Shia LaBeouf's plagiarism apology tour took to the sky Wednesday as the "Transformer" actor hired an airplane to sky-write "I'm sorry Daniel Clowes."

Clowes is the author whose story LaBeouf admits he copied for his short film "HowardCantour.com" without crediting Clowes.

But it was a cloudy apology, raising suspicion that LaBeouf has moved on from saying he's sorry to Clowes and is now taunting Clowes fans and LaBeouf critics who have attacked him online in the two weeks since he was busted.
