or... if you'd allow, it's also the embodiment of me, the integral amalgam (a frantic-pased, yet slow-going, accomplisher of things).



one more also:
you can also watch the remake of the classic fable as portrayed by Bugs Bunny & Cecil "Toitle", as envisioned by the Looney Tunes creators (conspirators).

Jetee, once Mr. Bunny is done with Sally, he'd like to have a word with you about this thread.

I had scarier examples of the bunny man with children, but I thought that they crossed the line from just 'weird and creepy' to "wholly inappropriate due to the implications of the scenario being perpetrated by the bunny man"; so, I omitted them, and I hope to purge them from the furthest reaches of my memory soon. I will, however, try to feature one later on, (if I can find it in The Longest Thread Ever!) and until that time, I shall keep you in suspended anticipation.


Santa by ~shelldevil-art
[frickin' 'ell -- the first time I try to search exclusively for "santa hat", and it takes me 30 minutes;
the internet is all cats, parody, nudity, and crudely-drawn catgirls (ie, "furries").]

I don't know how to help others adopt the "cool" status of attributing what they find to who actually created the piece, other than it's the law that you must, but... for now, I'll just lead by example:

Both of the above images were created by Luke Chueh, and if you'd like to know more about his works, it is but a click away.

I've never been "cool". I know I'm not the only person who doesn't credit every picture they post here. Perhaps it's your job to be the posting police for TFP so I'll give you a heads up...I'll probably continue to post as I have been, but it wont be on your threads. I've been scolded enough. It's not fun anymore.

Jetée

Since when do I scold? I'm just informing you and those who may not be aware of the terms to which certain transmissions of information must be met, as dictated by international copyright laws; and the easiest way to do so is to at least acknowledge that the works you are displaying are not your own. Most websites and blogs put the disclaimer out in front or in fine print near the bottom, and I feel that, I, too, feel obligated to do so because so many images here actually do have current and relevant authors.
Just because others do so freely, it doesn't mean that they are not doing something wrong.
Creative Commons is a simple website and first glance reading for those that feel they missed something as to how the internet is supposed to sharing information.

Furthermore, I've never once told you, or anybody else for that matter, to change their habits when it comes to procuring or featuring images, as I usually get as much fun as discovering who the original author is from whatever post I happen to come across. I'm just trying to instill a better way that for every struggling artist who has had their images stolen without their express written consent, at least gets the due acknowledgement that they were the originators of said creation. Just because I quote something you've posted and tell others this is who created it, this is what gets you ruffled?

I"m not causing you any problems by properly maintaining my own threads' degree of standards, am I?
I'm just saying that if some member were to ask me "Oh, how neat. Do you know who created those images in post #24?"... well, with a higher degree of search savvy, I may well find out in time, and then from then on all of the brilliant displays of work I feature in more than 2 dozen commons will not be left forgotten, for there will usually be attached a name to it.

- - -

I like topical discussions and relevant comments, but I can do without poutings about how I'm wrong in wanting to give credit where credit is due.

I meant to state 'celebrity name game', but I must have internalize that last word as I was thinking it, and it didn't come out as a result.

Brilliant thread. I can't stop laughing at the kids and the EB.

Thanks for the kind words. They add at least three more posts of encouragement to what I do.

I can't confirm a source or an author at the moment, but am I delusional in
thinking this, or does the above look eerily similar to Milla Jovovich?
(though, I could be wrong, & the person in question is actually a girly-looking man)
