        Lol, I mean, okay, sure. Not very significant though. First, I would never have read that article. Second, telling stories chronologically is only a new concept to Quenton Tarantino, the rest of humanity kind of defaults to that. Third, I don’t watch IH for his fact based reporting, I don’t care if he just read the entire article verbatim and I could care even less if he just made it all up. I think he is good at humor and shitty animations and neither of those are even remotely represented in the OC. So sure, if you say he’s a plagiarist, I won’t defend it, but maybe you’re going to the wrong place if you’re going to IH for original and reliable “information”.

        Lol, I think hbomb needs to get some perspective. He could easily argue that “bIg MoNeY sAlViA lItErAlLy StEaLs OtHeR pEoPlE’s CoNtEnT” and he would be 100% simultaneously correct and useless.

          Why wouldn’t IH just properly reference the article and make clear that the animation was based off it? IH ripped the article off in it’s entirety, made a crazy popular video and money off of an author’s work, and that’s obviously not ok.

          Stealing content just… isn’t ok. It’s a shitty look for IH
