From June 24, 2007. You sure did wait a long time to post that...

[–]notselfish 51 points52 points ago

It's always funny because the pictures that people claim as their own look so professional.

Bitch, I'm Henri Cartier-Bresson!

[–]msjess 2 points3 points ago

Nothing like spewing my first coffee of the day all over my computer. Bravo. HCB, well he wouldn't have given a shit, really. Sorry.

[–]ohsnapitstheclap 0 points1 point ago

Everyone's a professional

[–]Hero_of_One -1 points0 points ago

It's not hard to make photos look professional. Though i DO have a $600 camera and photoshop....

[–]firstdraft 13 points14 points ago

Upvote for justice.

[–]isleshocky 4 points5 points ago

I've learned to view the comments before I upboat because I know someone would find this to be false. Thank you!

[–]HypGnosis 13 points14 points ago

God, instant validation of my first thought. This website fucking sucks now.

i love guys like you so much lol.. my stomach hurts from the lols

[–]softero 0 points1 point ago

I do always wonder how, in shots like these, the camera just happened to be perfectly lined up and already focused when the image was taken.

[–]tslj -1 points0 points ago

Maybe it wasn't meant to be passed off as original content, but just meant as a pic that mirrors what their cat does when they take away it's toy.

[–]zoanthropy 65 points66 points ago

Why are you taking pictures of my cat that I found abandoned in the garbage this morning?

[–]OMGGGEEEE 19 points20 points ago

Liar. This is the cat I found tied to the traintracks just this morning.

[–]Disgruntled_Badger 12 points13 points ago

No way, that's the rain-drenched kitten that I found shivering in an alleyway last night.

[–]menwithrobots 7 points8 points ago

No! This is the cat that was tied by her paws with rope hanging above a pool of acid.

[–]the_alpacalips 4 points5 points ago

False. This is the kitten that was shot out of a cannon over an 8-lane superhighway and aimed at a pit of alligators.

[–]c0smik 4 points5 points ago

The same one you caught while on your 500 mile bike-ride across the Bayou on your way to a kitten soup-kitchen? You're a good person.

[–]merwaan123 0 points1 point ago

Goddamnit I sold my friend to get rid of that thing

[–]Brony2you 41 points42 points ago

I really question why people think they can get away with doing this.

For god sake it isn't that hard to open up google images and just drag and drop the image and "bam!" there's your proof.

[–]shark_vagina 14 points15 points ago

Yeah, I really don't see why people feel the need to claim other peoples' pictures as their own. If you're gonna repost, do it without shame and try to credit the original.

[–]dem_paws 3 points4 points ago

The post has is @+800 despite all the comments. Clearly they do get away with this if people don't start downvoting reposters with the righteous fury of a thousand angry gods.

[–]Ugbrog 1 point2 points ago

I try man, I try.

[–]Torandi 1 point2 points ago

It would be nice if RES had a feature to mark repost as such in the feed (for example by a red label "repost" or a yellow "maybe repost" (depending on the hit on karma decay).

[–]Guize 28 points29 points ago

I found a larger image than OP's, he sits on a throne of lies. LIES.

[–]Beastage 15 points16 points ago

Good thing you had your high quality, expensive camera at the ready to capture the moment whilst taking away your cat's toy. Bravo, sir. You seem to be quite a capable fellow.

[–]ididntstartthefire 16 points17 points ago

You sir, are a liar and a plagiarist. May the same kitty find you and scratch you

[–]xyroclast 25 points26 points ago

I'm very skeptical of your title

[–]OMGGGEEEE 2 points3 points ago

Shit, don't your cat's intricate toys ever require heroic repairs??

[–]Hemtroll 3 points4 points ago

I just ordered a new CPU for my cat's computer

[–]lavender_ 10 points11 points ago

You're a liar!

[–]kindersunrise 8 points9 points ago

a professional photographer jumped into the room and took a photo?

[–]TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT 6 points7 points ago
