The Oatmeal vs. FunnyJunk - The "humor" version of the adult tube dilemma

So...this exact problem is being hashed out in other industries, not just adult tubes. Only a matter of time before tons of industries are dealing with it and some good ol' boys connected to politicians start losing money from this crap, at which point laws will be changed to make sure it doesn't happen again. (or good ol' boys get into it themselves, which would basically mean the rest of those industries are completely fucked)

Yea, that was real funny.

I like the oatmeal but it seems like he's starting shit when its just a waste of time, which he's already admitted

Huh? I wasn't saying it was funny, I was saying that the exact adult tube dilemma (users uploading stolen content, removing attribution etc.) has crossed into other areas.

TBH I don't like The Oatmeal at all...it's generally unfunny crap. That said, it sucks to see this happening in other areas now.

I guess you didn't :1orglaugh My bad, reading and watching NBA at the same time.

Hehe no worries. Ironically I don't think The Oatmeal is funny...in fact they annoy me a lot. Still have to sympathize with them on this.
