Fucking hell, this place us dullard central with this FHM stuff.
Did they steal off _you_, not _us_ or _we_, but _you_ ? Pete's sake, it's a load of who-har about nothing, bunch of twats can bang on how 'fhm steals my content' because you post on the same site. What the fuck do you expect FHM to do, check the whole of the internet?

And now you're harsing poor Colin, and telling other people to do so too. You're not some super elite protesting-against-the-big-man super-mum here, you're just jumping on a bandwagon and making someone's life hell for no reason.

Fuck off back to Mumsnet with the rest of those chicks who clearly put out.

I think a better way would be for all b3tans to pick their favourite answer
(of their own) and send it in. You never know.....

Gonz has got a point
Whoever posted that on B3ta may have nicked it from the same person who sent it to FHM for all we know. Or it may be a little-known urban myth. I can hardly point fingers at people who make up their answers to QOTW

What I mean is.... let's say John from down the road who reads FHM _and_ b3ta, copy'n'pastes from b3ta to FHM and FHM run with it....
... are FHM supposed to run a check on every single letter that comes in? Are they supposed to know every story that is on the internet?
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 19 Oct 2010, 15:18, Reply)

yeah but it's kind of a coincidence that several QOTW stories have made it in
I do think it's FHM as a whole rather than individual people doing the stealing.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 19 Oct 2010, 15:52, Reply)

Are they stories that are normally voted quite highly here? 'cus that would imply that people outside of b3ta find stories funny that people on b3ta find funny.

I dislike plagiarism!
The fact we all post here means it could be your story, or mine that was stolen. Therefore it is potentially a theft from anyone who posts. I don't like that. It's laziness on the part of FHM, its plagiarism, and it should not happen.

Equally, I am responsible for the actions of my staff. My staff do not do anything underhand as they know I would cream them. If they do do something wrong, I end up dealing with it. As Editor, Colin is responsible for his team and should manage them better. Here's an opportunity for him to realise how slack he is, and to put it right in future.

Also, I don't understand the search the whole internet comment - this isn't a point that they happened to print a story similar to one here. They've stolen it!

So go fuck yourself.

Bollocks.
You don't know it's plagerisum on behalf of FHM, it could be on behalf of one of their readers, do you expect FHM to check the entire internet and printed history of the planet? Let's say they did intentionally knick it off "us", then that's pretty shitty to not credit us, but do you see any copywrite notices anywhere? Exactly.

As for being a "Super Buisness Women" who's "Super In Charge" of "Super People" who are your "Staff", oh lol, total mumsnet comment. Do they let you sit in meetings and see the Super Secret Budget Reports too? Let's say one of your "staff" turn out to be a nonce, are you responcible for that too?

Who here want's to be part of my Offical Staff?
I'll let you see a shared Google doc spreadsheet with our Budget Report, which is for staff only, if you want to be a member of my staff.

plagiarism, surely. Also nick? And copyright? Plus responsible?
Also mate, I'm not a woman.

You don't need a copyright notice - the author retains copyright as a matter of right.

No, I wouldn't be responsible for their out of hours noncing, but I would be responsible for any of their underhand business practices. For example, plagiarism.

To be honest, as I'm in Sales I don't have anything to do with budgets. I'm not sure of why that's relevant.

You're wrong, you're a cunt, now get back to fucking your sister.

Yeah', 'nick', 'plaglarism', 'copyright' and 'rsponsible'.... if they're spelt wrong, can you really not work it out? Is everything on your desk aligned to right-angles?
You're making a big ho-har about nothing relivent to you to make yourself look like the big woman. If it was some tiny blog you wouldn't give a shit.

Again, how do you know that FHM aren't victims too? That someone wrote into their mag with those stories? Yet you're giving out someone's information and encuridging people to make a neusance to that person. If one of 'your staff' fucked up a deal, would you want your name branded all over the internet and slandared?

I don't even own a sister to fuck, can I borrow yours?
