Something Smells Familiar

You know the old adage that says "People learn from their mistakes (or the mistakes of others)"? It's not true! Somebody's work just got plagiarized again.

My sis and I picked up a recent newspaper while we were on vacation in Pattaya, Thailand. It's called "Pattaya Today".

It's filled with articles and advertisements that I couldn't care less about. That was until I flipped to a section called "Lighter Side".

How enlightening indeed. Despite being discolored, distorted and cropped, one of the pictures looks too familiar.

Heck! That isn't Pattaya. It looks more like my beloved hometown - Kuching. But that wasn't it. I recognized the picture from somewhere.

Tell me that its the same picture! Hahaha. How uncreative can people be? Let's hope nobody gets tulan again.

i don't know which is sadder. kenny being pissed off at someone cheating him of the fame and money that is SO rightfully his or people actually caring that kenny is pissed off at someone cheating him of the fame and money that is SO rightfully his. also that is not the first time that i've dissed kenny. refer to http://thaddy.vox.com/library/post/oozing-with-multiple-post-goodness.html. how on earth did kenny find out that you put a post on your site about alleged photo stealing anyway.

I really wonder if anyone in Thai really reads Sia's blog. But yes, stealing other's work is annoying.

Thad : You talk too much.

Good on you Thad ... Kenny Sia is just a blow hard wanna-be. He is "big" and "interesting" to his audience only because they haven't been anywhere themselves and are awed by KS's life-style. It's no big deal to the rest of us who know.

Galvin: looks like your blog JUST hit jackpot. *continues to give puss-in-boots eyes for that donation to have her proper meals* LOL.

Thad: When someone links to a site, the owner of that site knows because it appears in the err...CSS record something. Dont you know? Btw, HI. LOL.

Galvin said...

Flo: Haha. A spike in today's traffic doesn't earn me tomorrow's lunch.

Thad: You can check blog reactions via technorati.

J said...

wahlau... don't play play... kenny's fans are as fanatical as hamas, hizbullah and the persian ayatollahs!

Don't put your photo online ya, thad. We don't want anyone to issue a fatwa against you :-)

Cherry Popcorn said...

u cheaTER ... lousy news report !!!!

Galvin said...

Cheater? Where?

Thad said...

lol. if i cared what kenny sia fans thought i wouldn't have posted such inflammatory comments. anyway, kenny sia fans talking about growing balls etc etc should put their money where their mouth is by putting up their user-id instead of posting anonymously.

Thad said...

eh i take back what i said about kenny sia fans growing balls. kenny, it's so obvious that you're posing as 3 different people to make it seem like there's a groundswell of public opinion against me. of course i realised that because it was me posing as someone else defending myself.
