My Last Post? Ignore that...
Seriously. I thought, "Gee, I don't feel so bad about taking that survey." And, "Huh, I actually liked that. What a change of pace!"
Well, turns out Peanut Labs and OTX are trolls. It's quite probable they're surfing your journal right now, looking for your fangirl smut or squicking over your love of Horatio Cane, or possibly using you as their new slide-rule for fucked-up HTML.
In case you aren't my Friend, I recently got to take a survey on RFBR, or 'Run, Fat Boy, Run' (if you aren't a Friend, you probably aren't so deranged yet as to refer to it only by initials), and I liked it. Or I thought I did.
Until one of their LJ trolls caught up with me.

I understand the image is from a copyright trailer, and, just as all trailers are technically copyright, people are not supposed to 'reproduce' them. However, if you take a piece of that work, remove it from its primary context, change its format and the mode or mood in which it is viewed, the copyright no longer effects that element. So, by removing a frame from the trailer, editing it, and then putting it in my journal, it no longer falls under the protection of the copyright, which OTX did not divulge to me, anyway.
Why this rant, though? Because, if you still haven't looked at the message I received, dor, who probably works as one of those bothersome mall-crawlers with clip boards, decided he/she/it/void-walker needed to let me know that *gasp* I have upset the Survey Gods. dor obviously knows how the system works, however; in an attempt to avoid self-trolling, it's journal is locked, so we can't even see what kind of nondescript, plebian lifestyle it leads.
Ah, well. And here I was really interested in the inner workings of the tabulating floor grunt.
If you're really interested in seeing the offending picture (it is, after all, an RFBR still) or seeing the offending post, message me or try to get on my good side; I refuse to make this journal Friends-Only or lock it up for any reason, because I'm not a trolling coward who hides ambiguously behind her keyboard with a Cheshire grin and box of tissues at my disposal, calling up obscure tags for the sake of making my petty existence seem more important.
And dor, I would love you to get back to me on that whole 'day in the life' thing.
On another note, the movie is pretty good. I also liked 'Be Kind Rewind,' but I tend not to flap my yap about films that haven't come out yet in the context of, "Oh yes, I saw that already. Hur hur hur, let me gloat about it for a few mintues."
PS - 10,000 BC is rubbish. ;)
