Famlove.cn is an offensive blog scraping site!
I’m writing this post so that when anyone searches famlove.cn, the google results they get show this title.
Here’s why famlove.cn and anyone associated with it, is being awarded the ASSHAT OF THE DAY AWARD. Many thanks to Mark, from Blogitude, for the permission to use his award when I see fit.
The reason the site found at http://www.famlove.cn (and no, they don’t get a link from me, you can paste that into your browser) is to many, a scraper site more offensive than the typical scraper sites, is because they aren’t just scraping (stealing) posts written by others, they actually post them in their entirety, and then byline them to the orginial author, thus giving the impression that the original author has willingly contributed the work to that site.
Though I’d heard about this site through a WordPress help forum posting from another victim, I hadn’t actually been a victim of this blog until today, when my Ceiling Cat Saved My Children post was stolen, posted in full at the site, with a byline implying I’d given it to them. I’ve screen capped that for your viewing pleasure.[1]
And so, I began the list of things necessary to report such a blog. I first, went there and demanded my post be removed. Of course, the comment will be “held in moderation” but I screen capped the submission to prove they were told.[2] I then looked up the domain name and obtained hosting information.[3] [4] Next, I went to the WordPress forums, to share that information with others and save them the trouble.
Coming back to continue with the reporting of this scumbag, I found a post from one of the WordPress staffers letting us know the scumblog’s info had been added to a blog dedicated to helping people deal with scrapers. Bravo! Seeing that as the first google result for a search of famlove.cn inspired me to write this post and add my title to the google results page for famlove.cn. Nothing like a little bad press to let someone know the list of people who’d like to see them shut down (to speak lightly) is growing.
So, my friends… if you’d like to do the same, write your own post with their name (famlove.cn) in the title of your post, using their name as tags, and let’s make it a point that from here on in, when anyone searches for that blog, they find nothing but pages of google results for people who are willing to say famlove.cn stinks… and the owner stinks worse for doing what they’re doing.
I do thank you!

As I do each Saturday morning, I was enjoying my cup of dark roast Arabica bean coffee (brewed strong enough to grow Joey Lawrence’s hair back*) and reading the latest over at TransWorldNews, when this bit of news caused a hand-shaking, heart palpitating minor anxiety attack.
Wait. That was probably the coffee.
No matter, this news…
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are about to have six children, but say they aren’t stopping there. The actress is pregnant with their fifth and sixth child but is already talking about adopting again. She and Pitt already have a biological daughter, an adopted daughter and two adopted sons.
“We keep thinking, ‘Is there ever going to be a time when we don’t have kids in the house?
…this news upset me so much, I did what, as the author of the Sunday Lolcat Scripshers, everyone would expect me to do.
I turned to Ceiling Cat and asked Ceiling Cat to save my children from Angelina Jolie.
You see, I have children… three. Sometimes, even though I love them dearly, I actually make jokes about them. I couldn’t help but fear the thought that, while recovering from the birth of her twins… Angelina Jolie might be reading blogs on the interweave and come across mine. She might think I’m a bad mom, that I don’t really want my children… and then she’d have to adopt them away from me.
Yes, I know, the fraccy children are older, but it all makes sense. She already has several young ones, and what new mom doesn’t wish she had some older children to help with the diapering and the extra laundry and all?
It’s not like Brad would be doing that. He might break a nail.
So I, in fear (because I really do love those little original fraccers) knelt down and humbled myself to Ceiling Cat and I learned something really important.
If one becomes still, and really listens… Ceiling Cat will speak to you.
Ceiling Cat spoke to me, and told me to create the lolebrity caption you see here, and upload it to the icanhascheezburger site. Ceiling Cat told me that if I also shared this lolebrity caption with all of you, and raincoaster… that my children would be safe from the claws of the Brangelina.
I, and all the other bloggers over at Humor-Blogs do hope it’s true.
You can help keep my children safe from the Brangelina too. Choose one (or more) of the following ways.
1. Click here and help my blog get to #2 at Humor-Blogs
2. Click here and vote my Brangelina caption a five hamburger rating over at icanhascheezburger
3. Go visit raincoaster’s newest site, lolebrity.net, because finding her new site in a link in the WordPress forums inspired this post and she should get the blame credit for that, so stop by and say hi to her there.
