Weak, man.

By the way, downvote, I'm nobody's alt. What I am is a person who has a thing against seeing people make idiots out of themselves on the internet, especially in self-important and egotistical ways. I have almost a pathological desire to express my contempt for you. (Just like you have the same thing for "stolen" works!) On the side, I get to counteract your douchery by adding my vote each time you respond.

"When you take the work of others, and add nothing creative to it, you are stealing." So let me get this straight: taking an intentionally awkward, out-of-character and funny clip from a movie and placing it with text and an image is different in WHAT way than this piece? YTMND was original because of its format and the website itself, not because it took a creative genius to play back a sound with something on a screen. (We've had those before: they're called movies.)

In summary: you didn't give a sh*t about creativity, in your name or in your posts, until someone points out how utterly ridiculous what you're saying truly is. In that last quote you even admit that you would be fine with this if the guy had stolen it from CNN instead of YouTube (or whatever you think it came from.) That is the DEFINITION of shifting the argument because you have none. Again: what a f*cking idiot.

"Apparently stealing from Youtube is enough for a 5 these days. No more YTMND's from me. I'm through." "yeah oops, my bad, it was stolen from somewhere else. Please accept my sincere apology!" "Here's the real source of this YTMND:" "It's still stolen and belongs on Ebaumsworld, not YTMND." "I am admittedly clueless as to why anyone would stand up for such blatant thievery." "It would be one thing if you had happened to have been recording CNN at precisely the moment it occured."

"Excuse me? I have NEVER EVER said that using elements from movies/tv/music/whatever is stealing" AGAIN, either you acted like an idiot throughout this thread and you're now revising everything you've said up until you had to throw in your "creative" bullsh*t. Here we go:

"Please explain how Max wasn't creative when he registered the site yourethemannowdog.com" Got it. So it doesn't matter if this video came from YouTube, HotAir, or any other source. You were just being an idiot earlier and you now admit that your earlier actions were, in your words, "borderline offensive." I would have to agree, as I can't think of a much stupider arugment to be making on this site.

""The deranged notion that I would believe taking anything from a movie, media, etc. would constitute as stealing is borderline offensive." What is offensive is believing anyone would buy this bullsh*t. You have no problem stealing from the media or from a movie, but you consider it stealing to take an internet image from a "flash video," from a YouTube video, or even an original sound recording from another source. Face it: either you're changing your argument or you're just a jackass.

"Let's see, Max took a line that was not intended to be funny and created an entire cult around it." Hey guys, I found where you're the man now dog was stolen from! Get this, it's a MOVIE! Not hotair.com... not YouTube... but a whole MOVIE! Creativity my ass, you're trying to shift your argument because you realize your own stupidity.

So wait... your name is "idontvotethievery" because you don't like uncreative things!? Why isn't your name "idontvotelackofcreativity"? Why not "myfiveyearoldcouldhavemadethis"? You want to know why? Because you're stuck in a corner. The fact that you previously tried to post where this was "stolen" from, an action which has NOTHING to do with "creativity," and now and you can't even respond to simple counter-arguments about the entire site. Again: what an idiot.

"BRB I'm going to go convert my favorite Office Space scene into a YTMND." THIS HAS GOT TO BE A JOKE. NOBODY CAN BE THIS STUPID. "BRB I'm going to go convert my favorite Sean Connery scene into a website." Oh, wait, THAT'S THIS ONE. Keep proving your idiociy.

Hahaha, idownvotethieves, you're such an idiot... do you even have a god damn clue what "YTMND" stands for? DO YOU SEE THE PICTURE OF SEAN CONNERY BESIDE THE URL NAME!? If you don't understand what I'm getting at, you are perhaps so great an idiot that we shouldn't even try. It stands for "You're the man now, dog," by the way. It was TAKEN FROM A MOVIE. But I'm sure Sir Connery posed for the picture and gave the movie rights over to the site YEARS ago. You are the definition of stupid.
