hi. the dude who writes YAY Sports is one of my favorite writers. he made this...and this...
BUT he also writes hilarious stuff about the NBA.
now, this is far from being some kinda sports blog, but, hey, we have other interests besides being slovenly and other stuff. namely, reading other blogs when we're supposed to be working or whatever it is we're supposed to be doing while we sit in front of a computer all day.
so it made our little hearts sad beyond belief to read the tale of how an ESPiN writer stole a fucking brilliantly funny idea from YAY and tried to pawn it off as his own.
First, a warning: to understand what I'm talking about, you have to do some reading. And some linking. So just give up now if you don't feel like doing that. But, we feel its for a good cause.
Ready? Okay. So The Cavalier writes about the NBA. This year the NBA introduced a new ball. Everyone hates it. So The Cavalier made the new ball into a recurring character. Have a look here. See? Some funny stuff in there. Then, just last week, the idea got stolen by this dude who writes for ESPiN. Start here. Then here.
so to that guy, scoop jackson, we say: dude, that sucks. whatever man, maybe somebody somewhere who doesn't know about pickyourshoes.com thinks you're the man. but really, the people who know what's up know that you you don't know what's up. and you have to go home at the end of the day (or maybe you work from home, whatever) and think about the fact that you just straight up ganked a hilarious idea from someone else, put your name on it, turned it in to the stupid editors at ESPiN and then went home and masturbated to gay porn. is that libel or something? yeah, probably. but if you sue us, you'll win, take some of our money, go home and masturbate to gay porn again. then feel better, then get drunk, then wake up and have to face self-loathing sunday with nothing but your blog post that you didn't think up, our money and your vast collection of gay porn.
anyways, thank you for reading. support the cause if you feel so compelled.

well, that whole concept consumed about half of my morning... ::yaaaawwwnss, stretches::
think I'll go get some coffee...
PS: whats with all the gay porn references? the occassional recreational viewing of some gay porn doesn't make a man gay does it? ....it does? ...i does. I mean, just kidding...i knew that.
yeah, that would involved a bit of tangential thinking and processing. thanks for reading though. its kind of a fuctup situation but important nonetheless. i mean, balder, if you put up a post tomorrow that rants and raves about gay porn, then that's stealing my idea, my creative property, and that's not right. it's not illegal, but it just ain't right, ya know? that's all i'm trying to say.
and that i have nothing against gay porn. i'm saying that too. not that i prefer it, just that i'm cool with it. totally cool. totally nothing wrong with it in my eyes. sa'll good man. ::manly high-five:: no problems here. no questions or nothing ::chest bump, butt slap:: let's get a beer
haha. I didn't mean to imply that your post (or the circumstances it was based on) was boring. I actually meant to point out how much of a horrible "worker" I am for spending half my morning reading your blog and Yay sports and then I "yawned" as if I'd had a really tough day at the office and needed coffee. eh...anywayzzzz...whats today...Tuesday?....hurry up Friday, god damnit.
