See that banner up there? Yeah, the one with that one character from that one anime (NGE). I don't own it--is this blog now considered an act of piracy?

Awe shucks, that would suck. Learn more and combat against SOPA and PIPA from Google, Wikipedia (trololo), and from The Oatmeal (GIF credits to him).

I first saw it after The Oatmeal tweeted about it

Is that Samus up top?

Quite frankly, I have no idea. I just simply adored the art style. It is, however, a character from Neon Genesis Evangelion. I've never watched the series myself.

Wooooooo! Late yesterday I caught this Blog Post's title out of the corner of my eye on my Latest Activities. I just HAD to come check out what all the ruckus and fanfare was about. My first thought was, "Whoa! Did Andrew really engineer that Blog Title or did someone hack into his Blog?" http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/LOL.gif -

Well, too bad there are no more MyOpera Awards.
I would have nominated this Blog Post's title for Blog Post Title of the Year. http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/BigGrin2.gif -

That said, upon screening and meticulously scrutinizing your handiwork ... yeah, you certainly pirated the shit out of that GIF.

Well, that or you kicked it up a couple notches.

Haha, I surprised myself a bit when I came up with that post title.

Why, thank-you, Chuck! Although, I am undoubtedly sure that there are tons of other post titles that are more deserving of that award. The Oatmeal said to "Pirate The Shit Out of This GIF" on his website, and that's where I drew my title. Heh.

UP THE NOTCHES. INTO ADULTHOOD. HUE.

Ahhhhh! The Oatmeal ... I just now checked out that link.
For a while there, I was, "The Oatmeal said to do that? The Oatmeal? What the ..."
But, now it makes sense.

Ohhhhh! I thought what had happened by you pirating the shit out of that GIF was that you had taken an existing GIF with less content, less frames ... and added content / frames to it. But, now I see that the GIF is intact in its entirety at the Oatmeal's website.

NOW I have a clue. http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/LOL2.gif -
