Journalists are not to be trusted whatsoever.

Follow Prunly's advice and invoice them, a blogger in the UK did just that last year when a paper plaigiarised his work. They didn't pay, so he took them to court and he won.

A lizard, you say? Send details immediately.

Poor Bock, not to be cited in such an elegant rag as the Sun. Such a shame your name doesn't appear in the same newspaper that brings us cutting-edge stories such as:

BB Bare Bum
LATEST: BUSTY nursery nurse flashes the flesh again while dressed in a bin liner

and

Naomi Campbell snogs a lizard

I agree, send these cretins an invoice. They boil my blood.

pcb: There doesn't seem to be any such thing. There's been rafts of this recently. UnaRocks had her bit of Eamon Ryan fluff lifted by the Mirror, and they both lifted my Ryanshop jobs without credit. Sure they don't even put chips in them anymore.

This is outrageous, Bock. They can't be allowed to get away with such unaccredited pilfering like this. I expect very little from the Sun but I still expected common journalistic courtesy in citing sources.

Pilfering bastards. It'll keep happening Bock, you're becoming The Daily Show as a source of news for a lot of people. You're a big hit in at least one office I know of. We'll keep our eyes peeled.
The AJ story makes me sick. Poor guy and my condolences to the family.

Ah now Julio, low and all as Journalists can get, we'd need to plumb new depths to reach The Oirish Sun Begorrah's! level.

In any case there's an embargo on that particular rag using words with over 8 characters or photos of any creature with three nipples, so little surprise that "acknowledgement" or "lifted-from-Bock" wouldn't feature in the article.

Wondered how long it would take someone to pilfer it Bock.

Damn journalists.
