Wow, way to rip off an awesome anime, Flashpoint!
That entire fucking episode of Flashpoint BLATANTLY ripped off The Laughing Man story arc from the anime Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex! Right down to the logo of the antagonist! And during ComiCon weekend, too boot!

Have you Canadians no Shame?

2. Good! I still want to move, but first I must find a job
Sorry about that, I had to vent there. Tonight's Flashpoint on CBS was a more blatant ripoff than Denis Leary's No Cure For Cancer[/i[

4. It was the one that aired tonight
Run, Jaime, Run

And as for which episode of GITS:SAC it ripped off: Pretty well much the whole Laughing Man arc.
