Pet Peeves and Idiots
June 2nd, 2008 at 9:52 pm (Hot Linking, Self-indulgent culture)
I just checked my stats for my website - I haven’t done it in a long time - and found that for the past few months my hits have been up substantially. One reason was that Lost post I made (tip: If you want people to read your blog, just type the world Lost. Lost Lost Lost Lost) but another was the fact that there are STILL idiots out there who don’t realize or don’t care that hotlinking is just not kosher.
I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised. There were two main culprits, one being a message board. I didn’t read the thread too closely but it seemed to be about The Big Lebowski but it was also bashing women and stating that they shouldn’t be anywhere near a computer. Seems to me that it should be bandwidth and image stealing assholes who shouldn’t be allowed near a computer.
Learn to right-click, idiots. Hot linking is for thieves and losers.
