How well do you know someone?
Today I was visiting someone’s site, and I was just browsing through the pages of their domain to see what’s what. I came across the “about me” page and immediately I felt like I wanted to just scream from annoyance and how absurd the situation once. This individual, Meng (linked so that others are aware of his fabrications) not only took the concept of my about me page, but even use my own wording, and used it for his own about me (mirror) page.
You might not see a few similiarties to my page now, but that’s because I edited it within the past two weeks, so now I’ll reference a google cache copy of my old page, which you can view here. Notice anything now? Yeah, I’m sure you do.
Let’s actually break it down so you don’t have to thumb between two webpages to see that Meng can’t even write his own quasi auto-biography. It’s obvious because he had to copy off of me (though I should consider this as a form of flattery?) and becuase his English for the sentences/parts he added in are so godawfully horrible you’d have to rethink that he graduated from high school in 2003, and he’s currently eighteen. Another fabrication, perhaps?
What I saw that started it all was the picture in a table, with some data on the right side. Yeah, it was just copied and pasted. Talk about being a lazy ass bastard that lacks creativity.
