Hello blogosphere, it’s me Bobby.  Over the past week, we’ve gotten to know each other pretty well and we’ve had our laughs.  You made us viral, we kept you informed about what’s REALLY going on in the Tech world.  We’ve had some good times together. Unfortunately, I’m going to have to ask you to set that all aside for a moment, put on your serious face, take a big gulp of water and hold it in your mouth because this is no laughing matter.

Now, you all know that as a blogger, part of my job is to stay on top of blogs, big and small, to keep up on the daily news so that I may repeat it over and over until I’ve sucked every last hit off of the search engines and the story has lost all meaning. Well, today, during my usual really simply syndicated rounds, I stumbled on to a little known weblog called TechCrunch, only to find the following:

THAT’S RIGHT Bloginites, TechCrunch’s own John Biggs stole material from the blog of yours truly, in which I asked LazyBean’s John Thompson: Will there be an API? I could not believe it! How could anyone have been so insensitive? My honor as a professional blogger is clearly at stake- my good name has been soiled and I demand justice!

So I say to you, John Biggs and Mike Arrington, show me the money! You guys ripped me off and I demand payment. Don’t think I’m not familiar with the case of AP vs. Themselves, I know the score.  I demand my $12.95 (payable in Sacajewea’s) and 10,000 page views.  In fact, I call on all our loyal readers right now- effective immediately we are issuing a BAN on TechCrunch until they either pay up, or dissapear off the face of the net like so many shunned Power CEO’s.

That may seem a little harsh, but considering that we here at TechCrunch TechFaux have been sending numerous cease and desist messages to TechCrunch over their blantent use of our brand, I think enough is enough. No more Mr. Nice Guy. Not ME. Not NOW.
