asstunnel

A lawyer who sends a DMCA takedown notice to a website, but doesn't word it properly, or doesn't realize that the site isn't located in the USA, and therefore has no legal standing.
"Dearest little asstunnels, Let me start off by thanking you for your pitiful attempt to have your e-mails removed from the entire internet," Meganova's response says. "In case you haven't noticed, this site is located in Europe (I hope you can point it out on a map) where your stupid copyright claims have no base. But fair is fair you guys did suffer over the past week so here's bit of advice to you guys: F*** you! F*** you again! F*** you again and again and again!"

asstunnel

Term of abuse equivalent to "asshole." May have originated as non-English speaker's attempt to translate that term, appearing in a letter from Torrent site MegaNova to MediaDefender's lawyers, in response to attempts to shut them down.

asstunnel

That part which lies precisely between an asshole and a load of shit. By extension, applies as well to persons in this position.

Originally coined by the torrent site meganova.org as a response to a legalese letter asking the takedown of links to leaked email archive of anti-p2p company MediaDefender.

But fair is fair you guys did suffer over the past week so here's bit of advice to you guys: F*** you! F*** you again! F*** you again and again and again! (Original Meganova posting)

I'm guessing that an "asstunnel" is what you get when a European whose first language isn't English tries to say "asshole." It seemed awkward when I first read the response, but the expression has since grown on me. (Ryan Paul, Ars Technica)
