Cracked.com made me take down a picture we “ripped off” from them before they get “legal involved.” Come on, really? Well I’ll do it because I am an amiable guy, but I am more than confident that they wouldn’t have a case. Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act a judge would have thrown this out in a second, because 1) Cracked.com in no way would have been able to prove loss of revenue through our re-post and 2) given that only about 3 people view Tasty Booze on a daily basis, we probably made about 8 cents from the pageviews off this post. Send me your address, you can have the 8 cents.
If something gets on Digg, expect it to get “ripped off” - or maybe this is their first popular item. Anyway, I have re-created the image for you below so you won’t miss anything if you got here late. In fact, I think mine is better. Enjoy.

I have the maroon, blue and both shades of green. A serious pussy made this chart.
this chart is hilarious…I have a tattoo on my forearm and Im a lawyer, so guess that theory goes out the window
This was really funny. Especially when I read it last week on Cracked. Glad to see plagiarism is alive and well! Good job!

This chart feels a little dated. In this day and age there is now way the forearm/hand tattoos can be lumped in with head/neck tattoos.
I think now the bright green extends from the shoulder all the way to the hands.
No, it does not. Trash.
Maybe they were overly protective because it’s the first thing that they’ve had get popular on Digg that isn’t a list.
I have a tattoo on my right forearm and it has never once kept me from getting a job in Corporate America. I call Shenanigans on the original Cracked.com chart.
Awesome design on this image. If someone steals this from us, I suggest we call the CIA.
Why is this funny? Who the hell thought this was funny? Actually, I saw this on Cracked just yesterday, and theirs was much better.
@Michael Dean. Good point. Oh wait, bad point. That’s the whole reason for this post dumbass
Maybe you should do an original article instead of paraphrasing other people’s research.
You’re a douchebag.
The reason so many Americans have tattoos is to cover their stretch marks.
BECAUSE THEY’RE FAT!!!!!!!
Lame!
I have 2 forearm tattoos, and a half sleeve.
I’m also an RN, and have been for 20 years.
Heh. Kind of funny.
I have no tats and have not much employment lately (I freelance).
/maybe I should get a tat?
I have tattoos on both forearms and a half sleeve and have 2 jobs.

If you knew anything you would that you can’t tattoo over a stretch mark because the skin won’t hold the ink.
I copyrighted stick figures back in the 50’s!! I’m SUING!!!
ok, I have several tats. none in any of these spots. but all of these descriptors apply. apparently, I did it wrong.
You left out the lower calf tattoo, which signifies all three: I am a fat unemployed whore.
OMG you left out so many places that could be phrased scary, STUPID , freak , wierd , whacko
, dumbass , nutjob , gang member . tears , no brains , shit for brains , please take me away to prison , + only a friggin idiot would do this , totally bonkers , and best of all WTF were they thinking . ha ha ha ROTF LMAO .
I have two tattoos. One is on my back between my shoulders and the other is on my forearm. The forearm tattoo is the beginning of the sleeve I am working on with a local tattoo artist. I have been a graphic designer with the same media company for a number of years, before and after my tattoos. Freedom of expression is not frowned upon in this environment, thankfully.
A little sensitive, huh? Did getting tattoos take away you guys’ sense of humor? Apparently. It’s not an indictment of your personality. It’s a freakin simple funny drawing to laugh at. Losers.
Here’s the real deal (w/Much better graphic and article) :

Geez, you’d think you people never read FARK!!
(But they apparently read you–that’s how I got here!)
Are you really that ignorant of copyright law? Sad to see two whopping misconceptions in your post: 1. Cracked doesn’t have to prove damages and 2. you don’t have to make money to be in violation.
Don’t get butt hurt just because you got caught ripping off someones work.
i have a tattoo along the right side of Little Johnnie, a PA and shaft piercing, along with a few select scars and outside of the occasional woman who wants to see and play… and hey, who am i to stand in the way of someone’s interest in learning something new?
Cracked.com… what a bunch of whiny pussies.
F*cking thing sucks! There’s no words on it! We’ll do it live! Fuck it!
Next time try original content instead of re-posting other people’s stuff.
copyright notwithstanding, its pretty fucking pathetic of you to not use original material. asshole, how much of your other material is stolen.
fuk look at all the whingers “wah wah stealing wah wah original material” fucking homos. get fucked. you fags must be from fark.com, and think people give a fuck about what you think.
made me lol bro. take it easy.
Someone took the time to create something to express their idea. This is their livelihood. It’s what they do to make money.
You took the time to right click and hit “copy.”
If you think something is funny, link to it. If you have an original idea make up your own content to post. What’s so hard about that?

I gotta drop by your place later to pick up a couple of your paychecks so leave the door unlocked, okay? Sweet. Thanks man!
