This whole thing seems to getting more and more absurd. I can't imagine any outcome other than Carreon getting fined for abuse, or frivolous lawsuit, etc.

He could just try NOT visiting those websites. I mean, nobody's holding a gun to his head, nor is his browser ignoring his requests and pointing him to those pages anyway.

Lost Thought 00: This man is trying very hard to have his license stripped.

It's hard to believe that someone could outstupid the guy who had to defend Sandusky, but this guy is doing it.

The more I read about this, the less I care.

Why yes, I cared just enough to post.

Always kind of figured that whomever ran FunnyJunk had to be not right in the head, and run out of Russia somewhere to keep from getting sued. Turns out they forgot about the leave the country to not get sued part, but at least I was right on one count.

Just trying to read up on the case is hurting my head.

Fluorescent Testicle: //It's either that or syphilis.

Ursine syphilis on top of it all.

wildcardjack: Fluorescent Testicle: //It's either that or syphilis.

Ursine syphilis on top of it all.

Quoted just because it bears repeating.

This is an interesting ad campaign which I am sure has resulted in many megahertz of web page hits to their homepages.

Sit back and watch the show.

Chafed Willi: This dude is my hero. I tried going batsh*t insane a few weeks before this started, and my levels of insanity barely hit what this guy eats for breakfast.

My hat is off to you, oh leader of the mentally unstable.

His wife is pretty looney tunes as well, no surprise there.

Does anyone else read this headline and expect a picture of angry characters from a kids' cartoon?

DeltaPunch: I can't imagine any outcome other than Carreon getting fined for abuse, or frivolous lawsuit, etc.

At this point even a lawyer walking up from a three day bender would have no problem showing this whole thing violates rule 11 of the rules of civil procedure, namely that filings aren't made purely to harass or intimidate.

A man would have to be awful determined and quick to snort a line of syphilis. So kudos on his determination, I guess.

Eh. Being a scumbag thief has worked out for some very well on the internets. Look at Ebaums.

what the hell is going on in there?

One of the finest legal minds of our time: Dino M Carreon.

Er...wait, what?

Alrighty then.

Bingo. And when they were first asked to take down the Oatmeal content, they complied. That was a tacit acknowledgement that they were in the wrong, and when they didn't take it all down and got asked again, they started this whole defamation thing.

1) post other people's content
2) get asked to remove it
3) sue the person asking for defamation
4) ???
5) ursine syphilis

That's Charles N. Zaffina, you dolt!

Raise money to fight cancer and help... bears?

/Two great tastes that taste great together?

I love this whole thing. It's just amazing how crazy people can be. As Hypothetical Imperative suggested, this is even better than Dino's insanity. It's great.

JasonOfOrillia: So I became aware of this story quite some time ago and it seems like FunnyJunk is completely in the wrong and TheOatmeal is completely in the right so what am I missing? Why does this continue?

Some men you just can't reach.

I long for the simpler times like the crazy lawyer trying to sue gaming companies over their violence.

Lost Thought 00: This man is trying very hard to have his license stripped.

Again again (well, suspensions anyway).

HUH?

Superjew: That's Charles N. Zaffina, you dolt!

It's Dino Q. Carrion, you fool. Get wrong again and you'll face a defamation suit. Or a defecation suit. Or something.

DeltaPunch: Bingo. And when they were first asked to take down the Oatmeal content, they complied. That was a tacit acknowledgement that they were in the wrong, and when they didn't take it all down and got asked again, they started this whole defamation thing.

Well what's funny is the federal lawsuit doesn't even have FunnyJunk as the plaintiff, the plaintiff is Charles Carreon alone.

Oh, the shiat with FunnyJunk seems to be over. This is all Carreon now; he's suing on behalf of himself, not on behalf of FunnyJunk. The guy is just batshiat insane.

Hugs and sexy bear kisses!

Best $10 I've spent on the interwebs. I keep rereading it and laughing harder each time.

So diving back into this...

Looking around that site, she has set up a whole message board where she is the only poster?

That seems healthy.

ChubbyTiger: I love this whole thing. It's just amazing how crazy people can be. As Hypothetical Imperative suggested, this is even better than Dino's insanity. It's great.

What's really funny about it is at the start, he could have just -- and very fairly -- claimed that he was passionately advocating for his client which is, as a lawyer, his job. Some clients just aren't all roses. Then he decided to shed the lawyer's only bulletproof mantle, and jumped right into the deep end representing himself.

I applaud all the fine work Dino Carrion is doing to reduce the overall prestige and esteem of Law as a profession.

/FunnyJunk hasn't been funny for a long time now.

Kind of weird; I remember reading an account by a lawyer who knew this Carreon guy saying, "Huh, that doesn't sound like the Charles Carreon I know..." and then going away, having a word with him, and then coming back and saying, "Yeah...I don't know what happened, but he's gone loco..."

Sounds like he decided to try to get some nuisance money for some reason and it blew up in his face, and now he's hanging on for dear life trying to get something - anything - out of it so that he can claim a victory.

Where's FunnyJunk in all this? If I were that site administrator, I'd be digging myself a very, very deep bunker and hoping the Internet never ever finds me again.

WTF AM I READING? Is she saying that The Oatmeal is the same as the Tuscon Shooter?

Yep. She's also posting someone with the same last name killed his wife and maybe he's related (along with a lot of other crazy), but she's just raising questions, no defamation here, honest.

Exactly. A quick "overzealous" comment and official retraction of the original letter would honestly have gotten him some positive press, albeit not much. This whole thing is just amazing. I have no other description than batshiat insane.

Charles Carreon is FunnyJunk, essentially. It's a one-man show.
