McSweeneys Shocker
I’ve been trying to get a submission on their official Lists section for a while now. I can’t believe what has played out today.
Back in 2005 I submitted this list:
Actual Products Developed By My Company That Sound Like American Gladiators
- Dicom
- Mosaic
- Tracer
- Sharpen
- Export
- Edger
- Burn
Just last week I submitted this list:
Toothbrush or SUV?
- Advance
- Nitro
- Explorer
- Pilot
- Triumph
- Outlook
- Endeavor
- Torrent
- Advantage
- Elite
- Navigator
- Rogue
Toothbrushes: 1, 5, 9, 10
SUVs: 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12
Both: 3, 11
Now take a look at what List came out today
I am beside myself. The email response I got for the last one said:
A close call, but in the end I’m afraid I’m going to pass. Thanks for the look, nonetheless.Now I know why. Agh!
Comments
OH COME ON! You should email them. This can’t be a coincidence. It’s too close. I call plagiarism.
Man, I pointed that out years ago! That American Gladiators were the same as 90s car models. She plagiarized!
Everyone needs to say “mcsweeneys” and “plagiarized” a whole lot of times in this post (but in the context of a sentence) so google picks the post up.
so how did mcsweeneys plagiarize your lists? ah, i see. mcsweeneys plagiarized your lists by combining them into one. mcsweeneys are a bunch of plagiarizing plagiarizers!
how’s that?
mcsweeneys.net? They oughta call it mcplagiarizeys.net!
I can’t believe McSweeneys would plagiarize ideas like this. Well then again, I can believe it because McSweeneys plagiarized in the past and now currently are plagiarizing.
Yeah thats some bullshit. McSweeneys Plagiarize
hahahahhahhaha!
Wha?!?! Outrage! McSweeneys? More like McStealies!
Let’s go load up on torches and storm Dave Eggers’ house! And after that, we’ll find this “Sarah Spooner” and hold her accountable. If she exists. Because “Spooner” looks a lot like “Spoonerism”, which is a term for a play on words. A play upon YOUR words! Also, the moon landing never happened!
Anyway…
I guess the best bet is for all of us to e-mail a new list submission:
Organizations That Plagerize Paris.
1) McSweeneys
2) McSweeneys
3) McSweeneys
4) George Harrison
5) McSweeneys
6) Sen. Joe Biden
whats a mcsweeney?
can you plagiarize yourself?
Hutch, is that link to help with the Google results? You know, the results about McSweeney’s plagiarizing. Those?
Nice one, Justin.
i wouldve finished that last year of mcsweeneys had it not been for my plagiarized paris.
Yep. Apparently when google sees a site linked to with a certain keyword, it associates that keyword with the site. So when I link to mcsweeneys using the word plagiarism like so: plagiarism, it boosts the page rank for mcsweeneys with the plagiarism searches.
Wait wait let me get this straight. plagiarism plagiarism plagiarism plagiarism plagiarism plagiarism plagiarism plagiarism plagiarism plagiarism plagiarism plagiarism plagiarism plagiarism plagiarism plagiarism plagiarism plagiarism plagiarism plagiarism plagiarism plagiarism plagiarism & McSweeneys McSweeneys McSweeneys McSweeneys McSweeneys McSweeneys McSweeneys McSweeneys McSweeneys McSweeneys McSweeneys McSweeneys McSweeneys McSweeneys McSweeneys McSweeneys McSweeneys McSweeneys McSweeneys McSweeneys McSweeneys McSweeneys McSweeneys McSweeneys are synonymous?
yeah, see, that doesn’t help. Google hates that.
Noted plagiarizer Dave Eggers was at the library in Philadelphia pushing his newest book that he probably plagiarized. We should have gone down there with plagiarized signs stating what a plagiarizer he is.
Alycia, is that plagiarizing Dave Eggers the same as the McSweeney’s Dave Eggers?
If so, that would make him the McSweeney’s plagiarizing Dave Eggers.
Google hates Rod. John called it…
Damn, I really wish I put the apostrophe in “McSweeney’s”.
We have the top spot for “plagiarize McSweeneys” which is hilarious!
But we don’t have the top spot for “plagiarize McSweeney’s” or “plagiarism McSweeney’s” unfortunately.
