Agreed.

You don't have to "cite" it necessarily... just something along the lines of:

"Found this somewhere, made me laugh"

Yup. Its from MacInsiders choice of avatars. So I'm sure Chad has cited. If not... we have a problem.

I dunno about you, but when someone posts something in the internet, my first instinct is not "Oh, look at this amusing thing you made" and is instead "Oh, look at this amusing thing you found." Unless they explicitly say otherwise, or in another way imply that they made it.

Would you like the citation in ALA Format, or...?

Ugh, forget it. You're completely right - it's better to just upload images from stupidly popular sites without ever making it known where it's from (although tons of us will know it's from Reddit anyways). It's much better to just put them on MacInsiders to get tons of "likes" without referencing the original thread or comments or topic creator.

I wonder if I'm the only one here whos never browsed reddit?

all you have to say is...

"I was on the internets the other day and found this:"

or some form of that statement.

Otherwise taking credit for someone else's work is not cool.
