Should The AofG Take Legal or Other Action?

Does any of this look familiar?

Uno.

Dos.

Tres.

Whatever we decide to do, we all have to agree that we here at AofG have officially arrived, don't we?

For all the joy and laughter that myspace has provided us with this summer, I think we should really just let it go.

I like how they changed the title of my post and then copied the rest of it word for word. Pretty clever.

[jackie]

I also like how "my man Ocho Ocho," became "my man CS."

Clever indeed.

[Schmoopie]

Yeah, but that guy describes his social status as "swinger." Surely you can do something with that?

Me, I have standards. I would never knowingly swing with a plagiarist.

[Assman]

Damn the firewall!

Anyone want to summarize?

[jackie]

"Anyone want to summarize?"

A myspace blogger has changed the title on a few of our posts and basically copied the posts and accompanying pictures in total. (Three posts linked to: (1) Messiah; (2) Read a Book Nigga; (3) Bonds 756.)

[Art Vandelay]

Anyone want to summarize?

Someone has themself a blog on Myspace. Just taking our posts and copying them word for word. Although, I didn't see any of yours. Myspacers must not find you very interesting. Take it as a compliment.

[Craig]

I'm voting for "Other Action". Do you have to be his friend to comment on his myspace blog? Sometimes, people could do with being humiliated in front of their faux friends.

[Craig]

Just noticed that he has several others in there as well: The posts about manboobs, necrophilia in Wisconsin, why do people hate Posh Spice and the woman who was kicked of a plane because of her toddler.

Either this is one of your myspace pages or this dude is a stalker. Here's to hoping none of you come home to a boiling bunny.

[Jack Klompus]

Cuatro

Least he could do is disconnect his unibrow.

[Art Vandelay]

That has got to be the most poorly designed heap of html I've ever seen.

[Assman]

Ah. I've seen folks doing that on MySpace before. Been a "victim" of it too. It's probably an insecure 14 year old that's afraid that his own personality sucks, so he's borrowing someone else's to hope people will like him.

I vote "no action, and enjoy the flattery."

[Art Vandelay]

I love his last comment on the Moob post...

man i am funny sometimes.

It's not enough to take credit for someone else's work...then you have to publicly pat yourself on the back for it.

[Art Vandelay]

28 actually.

I vote "no action, and enjoy the flattery."

Agreed.

He's probably reading this right now and just took a big ass sigh of relief.

[Jack Klompus]

"Just noticed that he has several others in there as well: The posts about manboobs, necrophilia in Wisconsin, why do people hate Posh Spice and the woman who was kicked of a plane because of her toddler."

It's basically all Vandelay. I'm suprised this dude doesn't have a pink kayak and a skunk eating his cats' food.

[Assman]

28 actually.

MySpace doesn't check driver's licenses. He could be younger.

And if a 28 year old is doing that, I'm hoping he's either autistic, a wrestling fan or brain damaged. Grow a pair, junior. Write your own shit.

[Art Vandelay]

It was fuschia.

[SL22]

I personally think the guy is an idiot as well, mainly because you guys fucking suck and I hate all of you.

[jackie]

I'll draft up a complaint sometime this week and circulate for comments.

[Jack Klompus]

"I'll draft up a complaint sometime this week and circulate for comments."

Go to Microsoft.com and download the Chris Rix Word template. You want to make sure you have PLENTY OF CAPS LOCK and "unecessary quotes" in there.

[Schmoopie]

This May 29 comment from one of his "friends":

"because you never know! In 15 years you could be giving blowjobs for 5 bucks!" - pretty much a Vince classic in my mind.

Who originally penned this "Vince classic"?

On August 12, he copied somebody's post about the word "water" being included on a faucet—a post from an AofG person's other blog identity. So Vandelay's not the only one Vince has a man-crush on.

Personally, I think it's kinda sweet. I mean, it's not as if he's clever enough to get your attention by leaving comments on these blog posts. (He'd only get mocked for his dimness, and the mocking, she is merciless.) But he thinks you guys are the bee's knees, and this is how he expresses his yearning to be a part of your lives.

[Assman]

Now I'm suing. I thought I had the market cornered on petty observational humor!

[bluehorseshoe]

It would be a great story, and awesome PR - Blogger sues Blogger for plagarism. Get interviewed and sh*t. Call him out publically and call him a B8tch. Anyone know any journalists?

Damn! He's even got into our blog roll now?

Now I'm suing.

All fun & games until it happens to you, Assmaine.

"Go to Microsoft.com and download the Chris Rix Word template. You want to make sure you have PLENTY OF CAPS LOCK and "unecessary quotes" in there."

Had not thought of that, Klompus. Was thinking of something like this.

Tough call.

[The Idiot Himself]

Yes it was me! A bet with some buddys over who's blog was better and got more responces from our freinds was taken too far. I am an idiot, I deserve all the shots taken at me. Take this how you will.

[The Idiot Himself]

I did not mention my apologies for taking such great stuff as my own.

[Nominal Me]

The blogs are apparently set to private now.

[The Idiot Himself]

The blogs have been deleted. My profile has been set to private to keep any friends of mine from being harrassed because of something stupid that i have done.

[alex]

Should have taken the viva viagra post, too.

[SL22]

Why would you steal from Vandalay? He has a fucking pet skunk. What a d-bag.

[Art Vandelay]

So are you really a 28 year old swinger and does this mean you lose the bet?

[M. Butler]

If he's stealing from you, he already has lost.

[Art Vandelay]

Damn. Tough crowd.

[Assman]

If its any consolation, Deadspin posted the Viva Viagra post yesterday, so Art's been getting doubleteamed.

[The Idiot Himself]

I am 28. Not a swinger. Since one of the readers flooded all my friends list with links to the site yes i lost. And i took from vandelay cause they were the funniest posts i have seen.

[Art Vandelay]

Thanks man. As far as theives go, you have fantastic taste.

[Assman]

Since one of the readers flooded all my friends list with links to the site yes i lost.

Hey... who did this? Who went to his friends' pages and posted the link to AofG? That's completely unprofessional. Almost as unprofessional as plagiarism. Way out of line. I think an apology is owed to the guy.

[Jack Klompus]

"Hey... who did this?"

Smart money is on some prick from Phoenix.

Personally, I think Vinny is actually The Big O disguised as a swinging Mexican Libra, trying to get back at Jackie for banning him.

"And i took from vandelay cause they were the funniest posts i have seen."

Vandelay, perhaps you could start an intern program. Kids these days...they need mentors.

[Assman]

Smart money is on some prick from Phoenix.

Lots of pricks here. That's a safe gamble. But it wasn't me. His account was private before I got a chance to do it myself.

But, yeah, sounds like something I'd do.

[M. Butler]

Vandelay, just kidding. You bring it.

[Craig]

Hey... who did this?

Despite suggesting that he needed to be made fun of in front of his imaginary internet friends, it wasn't me. I'm too lazy.

[jackie]

It took me like six reads through to figure out what is going on here.

Getting hammered on a Wednesday night is not a good idea.

[Steve H.]

Getting hammered on a Wednesday night is not a good idea.

Pshaw. This thread will still be here whenever you sober up.

[Jack Klompus]

"Getting hammered on a Wednesday night is not a good idea."

Sure it is -- on Wednesday night. Maybe not Thursday 9:00 a.m.

[jackie]

"Sure it is -- on Wednesday night. Maybe not Thursday 9:00 a.m."

Excellent point.

(Klompus, you got e-mail.)

[SL22]

Yes, Klompus, you do indeed have email.

[jackie]

"Klompus, you do indeed have e-mail."

You would like to e-mail his brother for him, wouldn't you?

[Ruiquelycle]
