Charles Carreon, the Internet Whore, is threatening The Oatmeal.

Full article here.

Carreon (appropriate name for a slimy bottom feeder) is suing The Oatmeal on behalf of FunnyJunk.com, supposedly for defamation. Intriguingly enough, The Oatmeal's campaign to raise $20,000 and donate it to charity has now raised well over 100 large. Yes, I contributed.

I contributed because The Oatmeal is Funny, because FunnyJunk is run by dipweeds who think nothing of monetizing other people's work, and represented by a douchebag lawyer who sleeps with camels for money (this is satire, Carreon, so kiss my grits).

I will be weatching the outcome of this bit of legal douchebaggery with interest.

It's not defamation of character if it really happened... =>.<=

I'd seen that. FunnyJunk.com and Carreon must have brass ones the size of Montana.

Is there a short version of the diatribe for those of us with working lives?

Thanks Old Wolf! Sorry I wasn't able to get back to you as quickly as you replied to me.

BTW - What day is it tomorrow?

Uh, the day after flag day? The older I get, it seems the less aware I am of things...

Good thing my memory was OK a weel ago (which is more than I could say for my drawing skills, alas :( ). You'll see. ;)

How many drvs are there in a weel? :P

[thefoxaroo.livejournal.com]

Abovt Sevel or su. Depends on whether it's a worging weel or a mumph of mothdays.

Lupis smartalekus. :P

Happy Birthday by the way! :) (Full B'day post will be in the afternoon, Oz time).

Lowering the Bar and Popehat both have commentaries by real lawyers on how Carreon is slowly shoving a barge pole up his own backside. I've got links on the CTC forum.
