This is a question Screwed over by The Man

We once made a flash animation for a record company. They told us it was brilliant and 30 staff gave us a round of applause. They asked us to stick it out without their name on it. Then their legal department sent us a cease and desist for infringing their copyright. How have you been screwed over?

After years of trying
I finally managed to get 1st on a QOTW... I know some of you hate this sort of thing.. to be honest - so do I.

However logging into the QOTW I found myself in a unique position, it was a new QOTW and no one had posted yet. In a heart beat I had already posted a full stop to go back and edit.. and quickly found myself proudly exclaiming FIRST.

Then i checked out the topic.. 'sheds'... I thought to myself that b3ta was getting a bit silly with its questions... and surely the answers started to 'fly' in.... when i say fly in - there was 5-6 answers in the space of 90 mins, mostly ribbing b3ta of its pathetic QOTW attempt...

2 hrs later, it had ended, and gone with it any evidence that i had actually grabbed first...

Screw you B3TA!

I wish that I was able to attach so much importance to something so insignificant.

I dont know how i did it either
First means nothing to me.. literally nothing, but gievn the opportunity - it began to mean everything.

I wouldn't be too gloomy about it.
Although, I heard they only pulled the question because it was one of their mates turns to do the first post.

I'm sure it's not true though. I'm sure they like you really. That stuff they say, it's just a joke.

Haha
Shallow planted seeds of paranoia, sown and left to wait for the rain.

Maybe you were busy in your shed?

It was like a supernova.
It burned brighter than anything else in the universe, but was gone in the blink of an eye.

I missed a supernova too?
that's my 3rd most favourite cosmic event ;(

It wasn't actually a supernova.
It was like one though, except for the bit where there is a runaway nuclear reaction, and matter is ejected at 60 million miles per hour, anihilating everything within 10 million miles.

There were quite a lot of posts about sheds, instead.

I have done this on YouTube
Within 30 seconds I had two snide remarks. Twatcurtains, all of them. Fuck YouTube and its broken automatic updates.

If you go on the B3ta Clique on that there facebook
You can read all the sadsacks crying about how they got stepped for posting the shed shit, badmouthing rob for inventing b3ta in the first place and pretty much everything else their head dobber would manage.

I've got it all saved, but I recommend it for a view; "But I thought this was supposed to be a comedy website!" is the equivalent of Stan Marsh's "But I though this was supposed to be America!" and repeated just as often with exactly the same lack of irony.

Seriously, it's fucking hilarious: "I'll show them...I'ma post a whole load of pictures of sheds as soon as I get off the nawty step! Hahahaha!"

Well played by the mods.
Imagine posting jokes on a comedy website. I'm glad they came down hard on that.
