I Just Got Fed Up

July 2nd, 2006

…with those damned hotlinkers. This time it was some guy on eBay in Spanish, hotlinking a photo I took of a Japanese police radar stand for catching speeders. The guy who hotlinked to me is selling a radar detector for cars. This time, I got fed up and did something I’ve been thinking about for some time but never had the guts. You can check out the resulting page on eBay (it’s down now). It’s damned funny. You’ll have no trouble figuring out which image is the one he hotlinked to.

    Your recent bouts of hotlinkers has me watching my stats a lot more, and boy do I find a ton of hotlinkers now! I blame Google. That aside, I am having all sorts of fun with them. Sometimes I put up a message calling them names, sometimes I put my site name on the picture to advertise my site and for the foreign language ones, I put things like “I am a potato with the face of a gerbil” in their native language.

    Good times…good times.

    Ah, hotlinking fun…

    If only more people did this, then the hotlinkers would think twice.
