Shia LaBeouf Skywrites Apology for Plagiarism, Trolls Some More

After spending the last month of 2013 apologizing for his plagiarism with plagiarized apologies, his highness Shia LaBeouf has come clean and admitted to knowing what he was doing.

Most likely to detract from the fact that he plagiarized in the first place.

If you missed out on any of the scandal, we have a handy dandy timeline of events for you right here.

To clear things up (probably because we had all forgotten about him again), LaBeouf took to Twitter and took aim at everyone, writing:

Which of course was just a line stolen from RedState writer Erick Erickson which reads, "You have my apologies for offending you for thinking I was being serious instead of accurately realizing I was mocking you and your outrageous hyperbole and lies."

It also makes his prior claim that this has nothing to do with publicity completely ludicrous.

Then he threw in some more stolen apologies just for funsies.

Or as Blake Shelton told Us Weekly, "I need to work on being a less controversial tweeter."

And this was just an apology from director Lars Von Trier, who after saying in a press conference at Cannes that he could relate to Hitler, later explained, "My comments during the festival’s press conference were unintelligent, ambiguous and needlessly hurtful."

Of course, Shia is starring in Von Trier's film Nymphomaniac so to say this isn't a publicity stunt is even more laughable.

Especially when LaBeouf had the five-mile long message "I am sorry Daniel Clowes" (the author he plagiarized) written in the skies of Hollywood. You know, even though Clowes lives over five hours away in Oakland, California.

Something tells us no one is buying it.

And if that isn't enough crazy for you, he also did an interview with Bleeding Cool in which he spouts inane things like:

"Authorship is censorship
Should God sue me if I paint a river?
Should we give people the death sentence for parking violations-
You’ll not only have less parking violations but less DRIVERS."
