Grand Theft Blog

I was going to let sleeping dogs lie but I have been accused of stealing or blogarism. I am not going to mention any names but here is what happened. On Wednesday, I posted a blog with 2 interesting photos and asked whoever stopped by to post some funny captions. Those of you who know what I am talking about also know that I began this very blog by stating that I had seen this idea by several other bloggers and thought it was a cool idea and wanted to give it a try. That's it -- nothing fancy. I never took credit for the idea. Well today someone accused me of stealing their idea. I kindly apologized and said I was inspired and didn't steal their idea. The accuser would have nothing of it. I even removed the so-called offensive blogarism from my blog as a peace offering, but they were steadfast in their conviction. I tried to take the high road but I have been fuming about this more and more this evening.
I guess the accuser must feel like Al Gore when he invented the Internet.
The accuser seems to think this is an original idea. I guess kind of like when I thought I discovered an awesome new trick in the 6th grade when I learned that my penis could spit stuff out after I rubbed it a few times. Or when my wife and I went to an exotic location after we got married for a week to relax after the wedding. People should really do this and if the travel agency started marketing it right with a clever name they could really make a fortune.
I guess I am disappointed because I found the accusers blog entertaining and amusing but I can't see a reason to visit the blog anymore because the accuser got so pissed off about something so petty. If I went on the accusers blog and stole their post word for word then you would have a reason to be mad but come on you are not the inventor of the caption contest. Maybe I am wrong, if so, then you better fire off a cease and desist letter to the fine folks at Maxim because they have stolen the idea as well. You might want to send one off to these fellas too because they even use the same day as you.
So in honor of Jayson Blair, Hollywood, boob jobs, reality tv, the New England Patriots, parents who name their kids Emily, people who watched "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" on July 30, 2003, this jerkoff in North Providence, Rhode Island, these dudes and Jason Lee, I proudly present this completely unoriginal, stolen and totally ripped off idea. I shall call you, the day wedged between Thursday and Saturday funny caption day. Enjoy yourself.
