What's the connection?
That all the words happen to be on an upwards slanted angle, just as one of the sentences in the other poster is?

Thats part of it, but the overall use of strong lines and angles juxtaposed with very open curves with the O's and U's etc. and even the fonts are inspired by bauhaus. It's hard to explain unless you've seen a lot of it. I happen to love Bauhaus and Art Deco. Art Nouveau is pretty hot too.

Well then the comparison you made is pretty weak.

I think if the only basis of "THis is like that" is "One sentance is on an angle" and "They both have lines", then that's a pretty weak comparison.

As I said before, a lot of comparisons of things like this are people looking for them, rather than seeing them.
