Before we get into this, I would just like to remind everyone that life is hard, and that we should all be so lucky as to find something that makes us happy in this world. There is no pride or glory in picking on the little guy who is just trying to figure out what it all MEANS. That being said, there is also no pride or glory in being a fucking jerk and doing things that you know are wrong. America, I would like to introduce you to Gabe. He is a young, would-be blogger just trying to make a name for himself. He is no Perez Hilton, and based on this performance he will not be a Perez Hilton anytime soon. But he does share one thing in common with Mr. Hilton, and that is being a blog thief. During a recent set in New York City, Gabe wrote a number of Nick Madson bits, practically verbatim, peppered gently with some bits stolen from Nicholas Madson and Nicky Madson, you know, just to keep the rhythm going. When it comes to stealing jokes, ALWAYS BE KEEPING THE RHYTHM GOING.
Oof.
Look, Gabe is just some dude who writes a blog that has 5 regular readers. But we still live in a world of consequences, and one of the consequences of stealing posts from other bloggers is getting called out on a relatively small pop culture blog in a post that tries a little too hard to toe the sensitivity line. Because, to quote Nick Madson, fuck him.
The weirdest part about it to me is that you don’t steal from Nick Madson unless you actually LIKE blogs. Because he is one of the GREATS. Nick Madson wasn’t ripping off Scott Lapatine. So, you know, as someone who likes blogs to another person who likes blogs (and who then steals those blogs and also lies about his relationship to those blogs) BOOOOOOOO. Get off the internet. Seriously, get off of the internet please.
Again, I recognize that this is small potatoes. But small potatoes aren’t NO potatoes. And even the smallest potato can still fit in a regular sized jail cell. (Via Nick Madson.)
