Ray's open letter to Desmond Tladinyane

Dear Jerk,

It has recently come to my attention that you have taken the work of my colleague Andy Murphy and portrayed it as your own on a South African Website. In what could somewhat be considered flattery, you viewed my friend Andy's work as being, "funny enough" for use in your online humor columns.

…Yep, thought Andy's work was real good…

…Real funny…

…Thought other people would think it was funny too and would think that you had written it and would in turn think YOU were funny…

…Andy's work…

Okay, I gotta ask; what's wrong with MY stuff? No, don't get me wrong — I know that plagiarism is for poop heads, but really — I mean, was my stuff not good enough for you to copy from?

Why Andy's stuff? Is he funnier than me? Is he prettier then me?

My friends (read: my mom and stuffed elephant) say that maybe my humor doesn't carry over well. Either that or maybe you just hadn't gotten around to ripping me off just yet. Which is it, Mr. Tladinyane? Tell me the truth, but please be gentle.

So yeah, Desmond — I know that you are suffering from much shame right now due to your plagiarism, but I hope that something else hurts more…you broke my heart.

Oh yeah. Andy, I'm sorry that you were ripped off, blah blah blah, douche.

Love,
Ray
