just minishorts.

Lately (or I quite believe this has been going on for quite some time), there are some unscrupulous no-name individuals who surf around the blogosphere seeking out 'interestingness' available on the net. When a possibly interesting post (or even, a comment to a post) appears, the 'professional' IP thief would take a snippet of the original piece, paste it into another post that later would appear another professionally done up (made to attract adsense) website.

In the recent wave of wedding-related ramblings I've blurted out since the excitement of being engaged, a reader offered to introduce me to a friend of hers who is a wedding planner. And so the crime was unduly committed, with the ever so trustable select with the mouse and then Ctrl-C then Ctrl-V, voila! You have the material you need to create a mockery of a 'blog-review' website.

The entire site, as you can see, is 'decorated' with the ugly paste me here and there adsense banner.

I know the online internet advertising-hounds are very successful in their money-making attempts, and as much as I cannot bring myself to respect the art, I have to give them the credit for their perseverence and industriousness, if you may.

But the above website, (and everyone else who is doing things like that), just gives me more reason to not like people who become rich by virtue of the Google Adsense/Pay per post/insert-whatever-you-want-here trend. I mean, if people can bring themselves to increase their earnings in the manner above, can you actually trust them as people or friends?

I think its despicable, pardon me for the strong language.
