Top 9 Reasons The AP Is F***ing With Brian Ledbetter At Snapped Shot
Our good friend Brian Ledbetter at the excellent photojournalism site Snapped Shot, has gotten a very raw deal from the folks at the Associated Press. It involves threatening him with a lawsuit. Please visit Snapped Shot to learn more about the situation. We aren’t exactly sure why the AP has chosen to pick on Brian, but we do have several theories.
9. There is no sense having high-paid lawyers on retainer if you can’t use them to threaten a blogger who is trying to perform a valuable service.
8. They thought he was that other Brian Ledbetter. You know, the pedophile who “bedazzles” his zipper with Milk Duds and Jaw Breakers and hangs out at Chuck E. Cheese restaurants on “Low IQ Appreciation Day.”
7. They were going to have a go at “Ralph Nader,” but decided that had been done to death.
6. His middle name is “Hussein.”
5. They really love our Top 9 Lists and were hoping to get one dedicated to them.
4. They are hoping that this will finally make Islamic Rage Boy like them enough to take the Senior Middle Eastern Protest Correspondent gig that they have been offering him for the past year and a half,
3. The New York Times wanted to do it, but they have their hands full at the moment.
2. They discovered that Brian used several “inappropriate pictures” of Vicki Iseman a while back.
1. While Brian always credits their pictures, he also insists on writing “-ss -irates” after the A and P.

Now why did I just know you guys were going to get into this?
(and I did…I really did)
Thanks for the laugh, Buckley! Loved it!
Most Respectfully,
Brian
Glad to see you gunning against the AP’s bully tactics… We’re all buzzing about Snapped Shot and are hoping that Snapped Shot will be back up, after soundly roshamboing the AP.
SCREW the AP. This just once again shows that they are not in favor of Western Civilization and its freedoms. And yet, are they not using our freedom of the press for displaying their images?
I think I need to become President and state that they are not using our internet in a Fair Use sort of way. Wonder if they will like that?
This whole thing is giving me flashbacks of Aaron’s CC.

I agree.
I never consider the AP to be reliable.
If you run Captainfish, we will be happy to write fake things about your opponent.
Either a Top Nine list is stunning originality (wish I’d have thought of it) or an imability to come up with that always-elusive tenth item. Don’t know which is the case here, but I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt.
Mister Snitch…it actually comes from a simple inability to count. See, both Buckley and Potfry lost digits in tragic wood-chipper accidents…
If you carefully analyze their “top 9″ lists, you’ll discover that some of them actually have more that “9″. Sadly, they simply lose count.
