oh the irony of it all

[rone]

So, Something Awful gets all pissy when people link directly to one of their images, thus leeching their bandwidth, so they'll sometimes replace it with a picture of a she-male or something similarly unpalatable to punish the leecher. And yet, in one of their own banner ads, they actually rip off our dearest sambushell (it's in the fourth frame of the animation).

To be fair

banner ads are not done by 'official' SA staff. Any yip-yop with 8.95 can buy a banner ad for the month. And trawling google image search is the usual way to find source images. So, it wasn't exactly like SA high panjandrums are rubbing their tiny hands together, cackling with glee at yet another brilliant image theft from the guarded vaults at JSamCo.

It is an awfully cute pic though.
