If you didn't read yesterday's post about how I'm striking back at the MySpace Bandwidth vampires, then go read this first. If you did read it, you might want to check it anyway, as you'll notice that I'm keeping tabs and posting updates.

Anyway, I've been checking the stats and finding a TON more instances of bandwidth theft by MySpace-Cadets. And, of course, I've been messin' with 'em.

Now, keep in mind that any one of these doofuses could notice the changed image and get rid of it at any time, and then the fun is over. But, surprisingly, sophimost of them seem to be staying up for a while.

Today, I'm not taking the time to craft elaborate images, like the Larry the Cable Guy graphic. I just don't have the time... instead, I'm just pulling random, obtuse images from the net. I don't have time to get elaborate today. I DO, however, want to make sure that these MySpacers get Punk'd.

I have no idea how long the images will remain up before any given MySpace-Cadet notices what's happened and makes a change, but in the meantime, here are a few that you might get a chuckle out of:

• A certain young French lady is obviously a Tim Burton fan and thought it would be fun to jack one of my Burton movie images. If you look at her site, you'll probably notice my replacement graphic pretty quickly. You might say I wanted to put up an image of my idea of the average Frenchman, and you'll probably spot it fairly quickly. As a bonus, this totally NonFrench MySpace-Cadet ended up with the same image. I can't help but wonder what she'll make of it.



• What is it about Kurt Vonnegut fans that makes them feel soooo comfortable stealing people's bandwidth? This next thief really wants to meet Vonnegut, and stole my bandwidth from a previous post to make her point. I think she should expand her horizons, and I changed my Vonnegut graphic as a way of giving her a gentle nudge.



• How about this adorable young lady? She bandwidth-jacked an image of mine that I'd put up to make a point about wrong-headed racial stereotypes. I looked around her MySpace profile a bit and noticed that she's a big PETA supporter. However, thanks to a bit of tinkering with the code that she stole from me, she is now making a strong anti-PETA statement. Go check it out. That one also popped up in discussion threads here and here and here and here. Boy, I just love altering the way these people present themselves to the public. Oh, well... steal my bandwidth and you're at my mercy.



• This next scumbucket offended me right off the bat. Again, a while back I posted a picture of a horrible racial stereotype in a post that was intended to make a point about how hurtful it can be to stereotype people. This guy must have thought that the racist picture was just delightful because he stole my bandwidth and used the racist image as his MySpace background. I thought he could use a lesson in racial harmony, which is why his background is now a happy multiracial group of children.



• This bandwidth leech was sucking a still from The Exorcist at my film geeks top horror movies post. I'm sure she'll be surprised to find that now, instead of Linda Blair, she has a picture of an entirely different Linda. This goofball got the new Linda, too.



• A while back, MCF hosted a blog party involving formidable females and femme fatales. My list included Oprah, who was amazing in The Color Purple. When I posted that list, I included this graphic:
  
  

  

  
  
  Well, today's investigating revealed that a number of people are using that image as their avatar on various message boards, at MySpace, etc. And so, of course, I changed that image as well. I wonder what they'll think of their NEW Avatar...
  
  

  

  
  
  Something tells me they might make a change once they see their new avatars. (The change is quite dramatic. This one here is my favorite, scroll through, I think it's worth it. this one is good, too.) Hey, nothing against the VP, and that pic is obviously fake anyway... I was just trying to make a little commotion.

That's all I have time for today. But rest assured... this war is far from over.
