I just looked into it it's the "GREEN GUY LINK-O-RAMA"
http://www.link-o-rama.com/

Is this sort of thing a rip off, or is it some hommage, or maybe a secret
cash cow for the copyright holders?
I'd love to get some input on this. If it's some jerks using an animation
they hoisted and discolored for their own use I'm hating them. But I'd love
to know if anyone has a better story.

Don't know anything about the copyright, but it sure is funny hunting around
these pages for that green guy... Quite distracting with all that
skin-coloured graphics... Ahem. Back to the search, then...

Yes. It's true. DNA is now a leading porn producer....And I've got a bridge
I'd like to sell.

It's just some people ripping off Peter Cross' cover design. I don't know
what Bop Ad would say though, because he's always hated Green Guy/Cosmic
Cutie/Jeremey Pacman anyways.

suggestion of any DNA connection.

Incidentally, the same page also contains a large collection of
Simpsons character pictures...
