TheOatmeal/FunnyJunk dispute

[FortyTwo]

That's not a proper sentence! You're really in for it now!

(It's sad how this is actually on topic)

Sorry I done bad.

Now you're just asking for it!

So any updates on the lawsuit? I hope there are because Inman will no doubt make funny comics about them.

Looks like it may be over....for now. I hope Inman sues him for the attorney fees.

Late Tuesday afternoon, Charles Carreon dropped his absurd federal lawsuit against The Oatmeal cartoonist Matt Inman, Indiegogo, The National Wildlife Federation, The American Cancer Society, and 100 unnamed Does in Northern California District Court. Theoretically, the whole crazy debacle should all be over.​

But while it may look like Carreon has come to his senses, Ars called Carreon to comment and found him declaring the lawsuit a success. "Mission Accomplished," Carreon announced on the phone with Ars. We've heard that somewhere else before. ​

Carreon's statement is clearly in reference to this weekend's strange legal battles, in which Carreon updated his federal lawsuit against Inman to include a request for a temporary restraining order that would prevent fundraising website IndieGoGo from giving Inman the $220,000 his followers had raised in response to a defamation claim from Carreon and humor website FunnyJunk...​

I'll be damned. The situation was even crazier than I thought.

He's trying to be funny, and he fails at it so bad that it's funny.

You weren't even alive for this!!

And yet it's one of my favorite songs. Funny how that works, isn't it?

I think it's an even better victory melody than any others. The only one that beats it is the Final Fantasy one but I already used that in the Urban Decay thread...
