Leeching! Knockoffs! To be continued...
Category: Miscellany

Okay, Scary-Crayon's not really experiencing a popularity surge -- it's just that the bandwidth leeches and image thieves are out in full force and I'm not amused. Apparently a livejournal user who happens to be on fifty-billion friends' lists sourced an image from the April article, and now it's gotten a TON of referrals. It's not that large an image, and for most of the viewers it should spawn an error message (for some reason, the image displays fine on foreign computers in Anon's browser), but still, it's apparently raising the bandwidth numbers quite a bit. Sigh.

In other news, I found TMNT bootlegs today in Chinatown! But I think they might be candles, as Raphael has a wick coming out of his head. None of the others do, though. Unlike some of the other pretty decent bootlegs I've seen, these are really awful knockoffs -- they're not even articulated. But I'll say no more for now, as they'll be getting their own SC review (of course) when I get back to MD.

There are definitely more things to be said about the past few days (including Anon's first trip to a Chinatown VCD shop, which he did NOT enjoy -- sorry for dragging you in there, pal...), but I'll write about those at a later time. STAY TUNED!!!
