It's a doosh-off!

$500,000 Doosh

Excerpt from Ferris Beuller's Day Off:

Boy in Police Station (Sheen): Drugs?
Jeannie: Thank you, no. I'm straight.
Boy in Police Station: I meant, are you in here for drugs?
Jeannie: Why are you here?
Boy in Police Station: Drugs.

I am thinking of renaming the blog Charlie Sheen Quest considering the amount of resources we have on this guy. We haven't been able to report on the likes of Spencer Pratt, Bruno Mars, Randy Quaid, Andy Dick, OR Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi in the last year due to the amount of dooshiness externalized by Sheen. As of today, RadarOnline.com reported that before he checked into rehab "Charlie Sheen spent more than $500,000 on escorts and drugs in the six months..." Phew! We don't have to change the name of the blog now, well, at least for another 3-months. "I just didn't believe I was like everybody else. I thought I was unique," said Sheen. Indeed!

Plagiary Doosh

Content is shared over the blogosphere time and time again, which is encouraged by buttons to "Share This," "Digg," and "Tweet" nearly every post and article on the web these days. Sharing and repurposing content is perfectly legit if sourced correctly, and no one should know that better than an editor of a authoritative, popular magazine. Gawker reported today that Dave Zinczenko of Men's Health plagiarized his own writers for his Yahoo! blog. Before I even read the article, I said, "all you have to do is Google the damn language and find the duplicates." In fact, that is exactly what the Gawker guys did.

Dave, are there no more new ideas out there? Or, are you just plain lazy? I certainly hope it's the latter. Check out more about this story on Gawker.com.
