Xavi and Pili

Sorry if i've been a bit douchy (and also a bit arrogant) with the last post; i know the sites are different and everything, but crediting sites when credit is due is really important..so apparently it was worth it. Anyways, sorry again for the interlude.

You have every right to be "douchy" when people take the content of your site. No worries!

I really think a small watermark at the bottom of each photo saying "from Sexy People" or "Love Sexy People" would be appropriate. Your script already looks nice and distinct. Put it on and then fade it back as necessary to make it look like it's just part of the shot. Good advertising, plus if someone ever sees the photo and knows the people they have a starting point to track down who posted it. You might bring long lost family together. I mean...take these people as an example. "Love Sexy People" wouldn't be all bad for them.

Your site will always be my favorite; the copycat sites can never match it. Keep up the good work!

Here eyeshadow is kind of awesome, actually.

It's the interwebs. People are going to have access to what you post.

Besides, why get all high and mighty about making fun of people?

I didn't think it was "douchy" - yeah it's the internet but seriously, give credit where credit is due. The watermark suggestion is actually a really good idea.

You didn't sound douchy, you just sounded like you are entitled to rights of a photo that isn't yours. Did anybody stop to consider that some sad person was getting greedy with their fifteen minutes of internet fame and submitted the photo to both sites. I know its hard to believe, but maybe the authors over at awkward don't read all your posts and weren't aware you beat them to the punch. The problem with today's internet society is everyone thinks the content on their site is theirs, but that picture was submitted by someone, its their picture, and they have the right to send it to whomever they want. I watch both blogs, I am sure I am not the only one. Cut awkwardfamilyphotos some slack and quit thinking the worst of people.

As I think someone else mentioned in the other (now missing) post, I don't think it's kosher to claim someone else's work by putting your own watermark on it. The picture is only the "property" of this site if the person/company who already owns the rights to the photo conveys those rights to the site. Simply submitting a photo to this site is not the same as handing over ownership of said photo. They're just letting the site use it.

It's NOT a neck brace - it's called a turtle neck! Which makes sense, those things really made one sweat, so the sweat band...yeah, it was necessary. :P
