So, the truth is, it's a silly matter of Petite Lap Giraffes. If you've been following the DirecTV viral advertisements, maybe you've seen the Russian guy with the tiny giraffe. I blogged about this last week, and it's been a ton of fun. ...but I had a really negative interaction with LongIslandPress.com today, and I wrote about that too:

It's so silly I hardly want to waste any time on it. At the same time, their actions were so blatant and contemptuous that I almost feel like an injustice has been committed... So my question is: what can be done about a newspaper that factually lies about something, steals your work, and is kindof mean about refusing to provide attribution?
