Unsolicited redesigns are great! Unsolicited dickishness is not. There's a difference between really cool "what if" stuff that is done without pretension or expectation (there was an awesome Microsoft rebranding last year) and stuff like the linked NYT redesign, where the implication (and outright argument) of the entire thing is "ha ha you guys are terrible! look how great I am!"
