stuff white people like
stealing i guess
now im not going to get all up on a high horse today. i (we/whateves.com) steal images all the time its a fact of the internet. this blog (whateves.com) is filled with them. however, i personally try to at lest jack them and host them myself (on our server) for two reasons. 1) its just polite. if you are going to steal an image at least don’t leach bandwidth. 2) you never know if the person hosting it is going to remove/change that image. so i guess its not as much about doing it as it is about getting caught. case in point. stuff white people like dot com. a site we have even posted about before has been leaching bandwidth. i was going through out logs and found an amazing amount of traffic coming from that site. some webmasters change their images to such great hits as goatse, tubgirl, or lemon party as retaliation (if you don’t know those just look those up yourself) but i decided to just leave theme a little message.
digital pranks are fun. lets see how long it stays up

Sweet hotlinking, what was the original image?
KT… I have noticed this for about 2-3 months now regarding the web traffic. However, when I tried to trace it back to Stuff White People Like I didn’t notice the image hitchhiker. I thought the spike in bandwidth was a link to us from them, but gave up searching all the pages for our link… need less to say I didn’t find a link.
Good catch. I’ll have to be more cautious when reading the site metrics.
And yes digital pranks ARE fun.

I hope white people love Whateves.com too.
Is there a way we can get in there and make a post about how white people love whateves? we could use the photo of madex in the wizard hat at the call box
replacing the image with goatse was the very first thing that went through my mind…
OMG, yes, use that photo. See how many you can get up there.
