That's why I make sure my humor is never catchy; I can't stand seeing one of my babies become a meme.

We gotta get TEM in here pronto. If he were dead, he'd be spinning in his grave.

I know I just posted this in another topic, but it somehow seems to fit here.

Yesterday (I believe it was on the SNUCK thread), I encountered this bizzare trio:

If she's really cold, she should put some pants on.

@ Boba Fett shirts: TEM, you should sue them. Literally. They're stealing your copyrighted material and profiting from it. A person's original art/work/etc. is automatically copyrighted by him or her unless he or she specifically states otherwise. What they're doing is totally illegal.

Since when did TEM copyright it?

Sapphira · « **Reply #593 on:** February 22, 2009, 10:08:38 PM »

If you create something (photograph, artwork, written work, etc.), it's automatically copyrighted by you, even if you never specifically said it's copyrighted by you. TEM made the picture (and took the photograph from which it was made, I believe); therefore it's © TEM, and he owns the rights to the picture.

I wonder if that would hold up in court. I mean, it should, but on the other hand, it's 4chan lolz

"The court will now hear the case of TEM v. Trollshop Shirts..."

Glorb · « **Reply #596 on:** February 23, 2009, 03:45:26 PM »

I do think that TEM should sue, for real, or, failing that, get them to settle out of court for something approaching their total profit made off the Boba Fett shirts. Of course, that would pretty much squeeze all funniness out of the picture, so it's a case of cursed if you do, cursed if you don't.

The moral?

Memes suck.

In the spirit of Harvey Ball I decided to let it enter the public domain.

Memes take in air sharply.

Fixed. Hey, just trying to help Sapphira.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #599 on:** February 24, 2009, 12:00:25 AM »

Wait what the heck? Sapphira is editing posts that are already covered by the autocensor?

There are certain expressions that have existed for quite some time that don't need to be edited, especially when they are already censored for those who use the censor.
