Today’s DUmmie FUnnies is a SPECIAL EDITION featuring the pissed off ringleader of all DUmmies---Skinner himself. I hope you excuse the brevity of this edition of the DUmmie FUnnies but I think we need to devote this whole special edition analyzing Skinner and his threats to the DUmmie Funnies. You can see Skinner’s angry post in yesterday’s DUmmie FUnnies HERE. Obviously the poor fellow is upset that he and his fellow DUmmies are being turned into laughingstocks by the DUmmie FUnnies. Also note his extreme fear of a DUmmie FUnnies book. So is this REALLY Skinner of the DUmmies? Judging by his writing style, I say YES. So let us now subject DUmmie leader Skinner to the DUmmie FUnnies treatment. Skinner’s wild rantings and bizarre threats are in Bolshevik Red while the responses of your humble correspondent are in the [brackets]:
PJ-Comix - if that is your true name……
[And why would you doubt this is my real name, Skinner? My parents named me after my grandfather, PJ-Comix, Sr..]
this is a violation of copyright protections of the Democraticunderground.com.
[Then better flash this news to RatherBiased.Com which frequently quotes Dan Rather’s biased statements or the Media Research Center which quotes biased news sources extensively. Nope that copyright theory you made up won’t fly. Now if I were PLAGIARIZING the DUmmies and doing a Joe Biden and pretending the DUmmie posts were mine, you might have a point. Unfortunately for you, Skinner, I would NEVER claim the Dummie rantings are my original work.]
These threads that you are ridiculing are the intellectual property of the Democraticunderground.com and it's contributors.
[Intellectual and DUmmies are an oxymoron. Sorry if I am hurting your feelings, Skinner, by ridiculing the DUmmies. It really isn’t too hard. All I would need to do would just post stand alone DUmmie rantings but I also like to add my two cents as the humble correspondent. BTW, Skinner, you and your fellow Dummies are not shy about posting Freeper threads over there. I sure remember when you DUmmies “ridiculed” nervous Freepers on Election Day when the Exit Polls showed Kerry winning by a landslide. Oh, and do you remember who had the LAST LAUGH that day, Skinner? ]
Our attorneys will be contacting you immediately.
[Oh yeah. I remember that law that Leftists must NOT be mocked. Too bad that law only exists in the Leftist Zone. In the real world (or at least in the USA) ridicule, satire, parody, etc. is constitutionally protected.]
You must stop posting these private thoughts of our progressive thinkers now.
[Earth to Skinner. Those are PUBLIC thoughts of your “progressive thinkers.” I shudder to think what their private thoughts are like.]
You will regret any attempts to turn these posts into a comic book.
[My pants are soaking from the fear of your threat already, Skinner. BTW, you and your Dummie cohorts are already acting like cartoon characters. Oh, and I love your impression of a perturbed grade school teacher. DUmmie FUnnies WILL continue, Skinner. And I pray they will be published as a book because you and your fellow Leftists need to be exposed to the general public for what you REALLY ARE. That is what you fear, Skinner. But I’ll tell you what, Skinner. If the DUmmie FUnnies book is published, I will allow you to write the forward (uncensored) to the book. I think it would make for GREAT comedy material.]
Skinner_DU
[Short for Skinner_DUmmie.]
That is freakin classic....
These people are hilarious....
no problem, I don`t know what possessed me to do a google search for skinner_du or why I remember Husker_du. My step kids mostly think I'm wierd, why burst the bubble.
Better late than never :P
Isn't this an oxyoron, in so many ways?
This :P is for you Wyzz, hehe.
I'm not a lawyer, but I've been following the legal issues surrounding this sort of thing for years, and I can tell you that there's not a damn thing Skinner can do about this. Posts from one discussion board are fair game to be posted on another discussion board, period. The only thing that would alter this reality would be if PJ-Comix was somehow personally profiting from the use of the posts (for example, by collecting DU posts into a book and selling them).
Sure, Skinner can get a lawyer to write a threatening letter, but that's just a scare tactic.
LOL!
Hmmmm,
They aren't intellectual and they don't believe in property.
He's just foolin' with ya! I bet in a week or so, he is going to invite you over for a singalong and a hit on the bong.
Or not.
Yea, but that's my whole point. This is public information, willingly put out in the public realm by anyone posting on the DU. They've surrendered their rights to that material by the act of posting to a public Internet space. PJ has every right to use that material in his/her's creative venture, either in book or comic book form, poking satire at these people.
I should add to my above post: Presuming this is from the real Skinner in the first place, which I don't think it is.
private thoughts? so that is what they call those brain waives that resonate between their empty heads.
:-)
Echo! Echo! Echo!
The DU has a leader? Could have fooled me.
Who is Skinner?
Okay, it could be, but wow.
Nope, I didn't say it. I was quoting skinner_du.
Having now read this full thread, I would have to say that Crazieman is the winner...
Crazieman, what do you do for a living?
Thanks for the photos, weegee. I never did understand some. If you haven't seen the latest parody of we're sorry, check this out. Absolutely the funniest!
