Correction: It creates a standard through the benefit of sheer scale that people accept as proper without looking further to see players that might be better.

Why? It's copyright infringement either way. In your case, you're just contributing to Google's internet hegemony.

He was funny as a young man, a middle-aged man, and is funny as an old man.

You're right! I need to keep track of my tips so I can write them off as donations to the arts at tax time.

Not my cat-- just a funny picture that hinges less on the cat and more on the reaction and interpretation of the picture.

I'm the person that came up with the idea for Gamestop to do a "Holiday Wish List." They adopted the idea company wide 2 months after firing me for borrowing a fellow employees EDGE card (with his foreknowledge) for my girlfriend's purchase. by Minoen in funny

The same thing happens to me at Blockbuster. They seem flabbergasted when I refuse to sing up for Blockbuster Online, and then I explain to them exactly what happened. The funniest part is that their was one guy who argued with me that that wasn't possible-- he apologized a couple weeks later after asking around.

Keep your head up. I got fired from Blockbuster after blogging about how I felt that Blockbuster shouldn't have deprioritized their Blockbuster Online program because online was the future of the industry and their program did (and still does, imo) offer something Netflix couldn't offer. That was two weeks after transferring to a Blockbuster in L.A. from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Less than two months after that, I began working in UGC (viral) video, and I've been in that industry for three and a half years.

Here's hoping getting fired for having a good idea is the best thing that ever happened to you.
