That's... a stretch. If you aren't familiar with beefymiracle.org and
have never seen the site before, you would be hard pressed to honestly
admit that you see the artwork inspiration from the _name_ "Beefy
Miracle".
I believe the F17 artwork was essentially a last ditch effort to adhere
to something that really wasn't themable aside from slapping a giant
hot dog on the screen. It wound up being rather tasteful (no pun
intended) and well done, but "inspired" would be pushing it.
