If you guys haven't heard, there is an internet war going on right now with at least twelve forums with Eric Bauman (The creator of Ebaum's World) The forums are YTMND, 4chan, adult swim, livejournal, KNova, Fark, GameFAQs, LUE (Though part of GameFAQs), LUELinks, LivingWithStyle, SomethingAwful, and D-Day (All with a combined userbase of about 100,000 people).
Now before the bad rep points are thrown, let me explain why this is happening...
Eric Bauman has been stealing work from artists since its existance. It has been threatened to be sued by Disney, Peanuts, Hasbro, Barney, the Smurfs and many more. He refuses to take down the stolen work (which he also threw his logo on). He stole artwork from SomethingAwful's Photoshop Phriday contests (which you guys should check out, they're really hilarious), the badger, badger, badger animation (which was only granted permission to be hosted on select sites), and most recently, from a YTMND of Lindsay Lohan's never changing facial expressions.
There was another (i thought) funny animation made about him stealing on

Bauman has also posted about this whole thing here...

What are your guys' thoughts?
Also, most importantly, he has been making over $6000 per day on other peoples work from ads.
