Describes a long running cartoon that has run out of fresh original content. I hope Aqua Teen Hunger Force does not end up doing a Simpsons.

The polar opposite of plagiarism; rather than taking credit for someone else's content, it is the act of attributing original content to someone who did not create it. Also, riding on another's fame to publish content under that person's name. Martin Luther King Jr never commented on the loss of thousands in contrast to the death of one. It is a plattributious quote by some internet user.
The plattribution of twitter content to historical characters has become a plague in recent years as the youth have become increasingly disconnected with historical fact. Sample plattributions: "I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy." - Martin Luther King, Jr "People believe anything they read on the internet if it fits their preconceived notions." -Thomas Jefferson. |

Similar to meme wrangling, this is a technique used by some on Facebook to populate their page. It consists of trawling the Internet for funny/pithy/pretty images and sayings, copying them and then posting them to your own page. Often used by narrow-focus groups to provide content for their followers, this is also a means of generating income, since the more 'Likes' you get, the more your page is worth to a potential advertiser. The Facebook page SciencesRefutingReligions. This page consists almost entirely of lolmine, images pulled from around the Web that support the author's atheistic position. Some are clever, most are bad, but all follow the same theme. The only original content to be found is in the occasional posting by a visitor.

9gag is to pictures what Ebaumsworld is to video.
It pretends to host original content but in fact contains re-posted memes and images almost as old of the internet. 9gag and it's band internet thieves post content often stolen off existing sites and watermarked them. 9gag is much like Facebook nowadays and frequently features posts by people who have only just discovered internet memes and frequently miss the point. The day that 9gag has decent original content is foretold in the book of revelations and therefore is synonymous with the end of the world.

definition from Somethingawful.com
Any person who creates some form of content for the Internet, from movies to music to writing, and then refuses to stop gloating about and obsessing over their own creation. This usually occurs on their personal blogs, but has been known to spread throughout emails, instant messages, and newsgroups. For more information, also see BMO. Person #1: (IM sent to 500 people) "Hey everybody! Come check out the most awesome, hilarious, original Flash game pitting George Bush against Osama Bin Laden!
