Observe and claim that someone stole your idea

So, by this point I'm sure that we have all seen the badass trailer for Observe and Report.  
(Warning Babies: this is the Red-Band Trailer)


Anyway, you may not know this, but Jody Hill totally stole this idea from someone else.  No, I'm not making a lame Paul Blart joke.  I am of course referring to the little seen "Mall Insecurity".  On the youtube page for this video (which always comes up if you search "Observe and Report" on youtube) the description reads: "Observe and Report is a Seth Rogen comedy about the life of a mall security guard. The idea for the film conceived in 2005 by Jordan McCloskey as featured in the Mall Insecurity trailer. It's sad see Hollywood rip off struggling actors working to make an idea come to life on their own creative merit."  
Makes me sick.  Watch the trailer for their much funnier film below.
