Creator of "Friday Night Lights" to Romney: "Stop plagiarizing"

Over the past week, the Romney campaign has been using a line from the popular TV show Friday Night Lights: “clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose.”

But series creator Peter Berg has sent the campaign a letter accusing Romney of plagiarizing the rallying cry.

Berg’s letter went even farther, declaring, “Your politics and campaign are clearly not aligned with the themes we portrayed in our series.”

In the letter, Berg compares Romney to one of the show's characters, Buddy Garrity, a somewhat ignorant car salesman who started selling imported Japanese cars instead of American-made ones.

He closes with "We are not affiliated with you or your campaign.  Please come up with your own campaign slogan."
