"The Cooks Source, plagiarism, and the Great Gatsby"

Wow, some people are very, very stupid.

(EDIT)

And based on their Facebook and Twitter (yeah, upon looking at it a bit more in depth, that Twitter account is pretty obviously fake), these Cooks Source people seem to think it's all a big joke or something. Like I said, very, very stupid.

Unless it somehow really is all just a big hoax, as some seem to be speculating ("there's no way this person can be that stupid, gotta be a hoax" and such). Well, I don't think it is, but let's go down that path for a bit, shall we? If it is a hoax of some sort, it would still make me wonder... is it worse to pretend to be completely asinine, or is it worse to actually be that asinine? Either way, if you appear to be utterly asinine to anyone and everyone who is paying any attention to you, there's really not much difference between the two, is there? If it's just a hoax, seriously, how does making everyone on the Internet think that you are an inane jackhole profit you in any way?

(EDIT 2)

They've apparently made a new Facebook page (among about a million other obviously fake pages created by other people), as though that will somehow make this all go away. They're claiming "hackers". Riiiiiight.

Assuming for now that this is not yet another fake page, it just shows that these people really don't understand the Internet at all.

(EDIT 3)

It's looking more and more like that one is also a fake page as well.

James Rolfe interviews AJ LoCascio, the voice of Marty McFly in the new Back to the Future game

Pretty interesting.

The guy does do a really spot on Michael J. Fox impersonation. And also Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow, among others.

Via Roger Ebert. (I seem to be reposting a lot of stuff from Ebert lately.)

Yeah, if that had been something that had actually happened, it wouldn't have surprised me too much. >_>
