BG45 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I know Daily Mail is like the joke of the Journalism world, but did you see where they got caught red handed plagiarizing Cracked.com? As the Next Web reported, Ruth Styles posted a story on Sunday about the “world’s worst tourists,†citing examples of travelers doing such horrendous things as defacing a 3,000-year-old Egyptian temple and beachgoers posing for a photo with a dying dolphin. The concept of the story was indistinguishable from anarticle published a day earlier by Cracked writer XJ Selman. Styles’ story even uses the same five examples and many of the same photos. Selman called out the Daily Mail in a tweet, saying he had been plagiarized, and calling the website “mean.†Styles’ article was updated on Monday morning, and now includes a small citation and link at the very end (for more on this story, see cracked.com), but it’s unclear when that information was added. The article, as of Monday afternoon, has 463 comments, many of which are from readers criticizing Styles for so blatantly rehashing the idea.

MissyP89 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Why am I back in New Jersey? I miss my future husband and my new little friends in NC. And even Papist. But only a little bit. He fed me fried chicken and bbq and alcohol. I have to miss him a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
