So, with such a high stupidity rate, and a HIGHER greed rate things are hit and miss.
It COULD happen, or because our good flash animater didn't do anything wrong, maybe they wont give him anything, because after all, he wasn't some idiot.

These judges should be shot. There are other judges that push the absolute other way, against the citizen. Yes, these are extremes, but that doesn't mean that a judge wont have a little bit of bias one way or the other.

In November, Mr. Grazinski purchased a brand new 32 foot Winnebago motor home. On his first trip home, having joined the freeway, he set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the drivers seat to go into the back and make himself a cup of coffee. Not surprisingly, the Winnie left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Mr. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising him in the handbook that he could not actually do this. He was awarded $1,750,000 plus a new Winnebago...
Too bad it's fake.

In many outrageous cases, these lazy "news" people will even link to this site as the source of these silly lies!

Wow, this is dichotomously idiotic. Wanting anything other than the self-gradifaction of knowing that your little flash animation that contributes nothing to society has been posted on the best humor site around is greedy. There, I said it, the plantiff is greedy and deserves to lose not only his mediocre site, but his life, and lives of the people he knows and loves.

Maybe he really did just bait ebaums with a worthless flash file in order to catch him in the act.

And yes, it is rather lame that people who steal music suddenly cry 'copyright' when it's their own file being stolen.

But the circumstances are much different in this case, and very few people who linger on the Internet for much of their days express interest in ebaumsworld, mainly because the website is a total rehash of funny material from other, more respected websites. The only difference is that ebaums PROFITS from this. He profits from taking things without permission. Do you profit from taking an MP3? In terms of not having to pay for a CD, yes, but you're not gonna turn around and sell the MP3 you got.

Think again about what you consider the best humor site around. The humor is mainly stolen content from those who've spent time and effort into making things for the rest of the Internet to laugh upon. If it's posted on ebaums and not stolen, it's usually not funny.

. . .
Nowhere did I say "dichotomous" in the adjective sense, I said "dichotomously", in the adverb sense which means "two conflicting entities or ideas" or something around that.

here, It's all BS until you find this definition


And I define eBaum's world as the best in terms of "one-stop-hilarity" with no regard to where the content came from. I'm sorry if this comes across as ignorant, but I go to eBaum's to cool off and relax, not for damn politics. I'm sure (in fact, I know) there are MUCH more legit sites with their content that was earned legally. I see this as a clown suing another clown for using its makeup.

Yes, only the makeup one clown is using is stolen from the other clown and several other clowns who all make their own makeup.

See, no matter how you cut it, it doesn't work out in the favor of eBaums.

You know, if you're going to try to use big words to make yourself look smart, at least spell them right.

And the fact that you're utterly wrong and are just an ebaums fanboy is amusing.

If I were a clown, and I saw somebody steal my makeup and my act, removing all trace of credit from me, and making a profit from it, I'd sue in a heartbeat.

I did spell it right, Chief.

And I'm no fanboy of a site, I'm a fan (fanyboy) of hilarious games and video, and if just because I can get all my laughs and entertainment from one site labels me a "fanboy" of that site, then sobeit, I don't care about label or titles.


I apologize for presenting, and supporting a devient opinion, I won't do it again

Just so you know, you did spell it wrong. It's "gratification". Also, deviant*.

I didn't call you out on that myself because I think it's lame to argue with spelling unless you have several other points to drive across.

That ytmnd was awesome.

Oh, I thought he was refering to "dichotomously", I didn't really see that unmissable bolded text pointing out my error. Apparently I'm at fault here.
But, just so you know, I'm not a fantastic speller, just an excellent linguist (sounds right, but I'm sure it's not)

And I agree, pointing out spelling errors to void a point is rather lame.

Proceed with your arguements...I've expressed my opinion, and now I'm off...*flies away*
