Thievery!
“My reviews! Burgled! Plundered! Purloined! Ha, ha, ha… Loins.”
Whilst making my hourly inquisition of ILH’s stats and whatnot, I noticed a pingback on one of my reviews. Being the curious cat that I am, I followed the link to Fear Tunnel, a horror site in what appears to be entirely in Turkish, wherein I discovered three of my reviews (The Unborn, Mum & Dad, and Doomsday) posted verbatim, formatting and all. Only one was sourced, and a more in-depth investigation reveals what appears to be a variety of his or her’s own reviews in their native tongue.
While I am flattered, I am a little pissed off, as I was never asked nor offered exorbitant sums of money in exchange for my work to be reproduced on a website written almost entirely in funny speak. So, should you be reading, Mr. Turkish (I think) horror enthusiast, please take them down or send me forty billion dollars so I don’t have to wade through your site in an effort to contact you and tell you to take them down.
‘Cause come on man, not cool.

I’ve had a few people jack my shit before (post ideas moreso than word for word hijacks like this one) and like ya say, it is kinda flattering but at the same time it really pisses me off.
BE ORIGINAL, FELLOW HORROR BLOGGERS!
Fuck flattery. Because the ppl who do it aren’t out to flatter you–they’re just lazy and selfish.
