In a really apt case of instant karma, the plagiarizer gets plagiarized!
Unless, of course, BOTH of them copied from the same source (which is highly possible given today's penchant for cheap kicks).
At last count, the Prince of Plagiarism copied from altogether 8 bloggers and approximately 60% of his entire blog is of non-original content. What an achievement!
Dear readers, I'll have to apologize for all these out of character posts until the storm blows over. Meanwhile, please indulge me as I mouth off.
On with the witch hunt!

Ok, because of the immense pressure my friends and fellow bloggers have levied against him, he has since removed his blog and is now cowering in fear in the deepest hole of cyberspace.
I will post up the rest of screen captures as evidence of his cheap ways for all to see. You can judge yourself with the originals linked below:

The Prince of Plagiarism has apologized on 5th Nov (albeit an incredibly lousy one), and the matter has been resolved. The pathetic thing was that he had the cheek to ask us to hush the thing up and appealed to our sympathy that the internet was full of plagiarism anyway and that he should be spared like an innocent 5 year old. Gosh.
If there's anything I've learnt from this, it's the rarity of integrity and a sense of shame. That being said and done, I've also self-reflected and realized that my own citation system needs work (esp. with pictures and photos), so when I'm more free, I'll start pruning my own entries and add a section on creative commons or something like that. Meanwhile, copyright owners can email me m y k e l i s m[at]g m a i l[dot]c o m (without spaces) if something needs to be taken down.

i also be damned. you also copied from lakeside girl.
looks like everyone is copying from each other eh?
he deleted his blog! and i bet he wrote the above comment. kukubird.
nadia, seems like it man. Mykel can just check the IP address. Shouldn't be that hard to see if that is the same fucktard.
And oh yeah, anon, get original please you sad piece of horse manure. Plagiarisers - all fucking morons.
Great blog you have here, and thanks for the heads up about the arse-hole.
Got ur message in my blog. I will try to contact him with regards to his issue.
Thanks very much for taking the time to let me know about the plagiarism. Great reads, btw. Cheers.
Thanks for the heads up. I see he copied some of the others I link to, as well.
Why not go whole hog and go after him? You'd be surprised how where IP protection laws have come.
Sorry that should read "how far". Too many hours spent on planes this month.
Where are you?
Btw got my Stars tickets, thx to u AGAIN.
Do me a favour. Write.
hey... I really love the song you posted for the entry dated MONDAY, DECEMBER 01, 2008..... What's the song title and artiste? thanks! :)
"Roam in octave", by my favourite Japanese band, Spangle Call Lilli Line.
Next time, if you need to know, just click the "Divshare" logo on the player to find out.
hey, hadn't followed up on this matter until now. where/when did he apologize? now that his blog is down any published apology is officially moot. i'd love to read his lame excuse.
good work, mykel! thanks for looking out for your fellow blogger.
have you stopped writing?
