Back In the Saddle Again



Recognize this?



A lovely image of winter 2010 in West Virginia?
Nope.
It's Bella Vista, Arkansas.

Which picture is the original?



If you guessed the latest "Hot Shots" contribution to the douchebag's cluttered advertising shopping blog you'd be wrong.

Submitted? More like stolen.
Notice the submitter's name isn't given. A sure tip-off of a ripoff.

Lo and behold, it was stolen from here:
http://mywideblueseas.blogspot.com/2010/02/familiar-foreign-land.html

Last week it was permission, this week it's back to theft.
It takes a thief.
Same old Halburn.
Fucking scumbag.

UPDATE: As of March 8, Halburn was notified of his theft by the photographer. We'll see how long it takes him to comply.

UPDATED UPDATE: It took the content thief three weeks to pull the picture.

  1. There were some pictures that "appeared" to be borrowed as well from the Putnam Herald of the recent Fur Ball. I tried to confirm but unable to find link on Putnamblob's blog of the Fur Ball....

  2. Putting anything on the internet is giving him the inherent right to use it as his own, without credit, or paying for the content.

    He's a thief and liar. Plain and simple.

  4. I love how mark will call out and display the salary of a teacher, and specifically call one out by name. But, he will not give the name of a multi-millionair.

  5. Notice that his name was not on the list.
    Deliberate omission or tacit admission that he can't get a job in the county?

    BTW, thanks for the shout out in the Gazette the other day Tobias.

  6. Luckily for him, Mr. Billups has more dignity and class, or there'd be a slander lawsuit over singling him out.

    As for the millionaire, he's probably told them that, for a fee, he'll not print their names and addresses... I believe that's extortion?
