"When I got pregnant during my second month of pregnancy I got skin eruptions ...." Wow, that's not something that happens everyday. Seriously, who are these people who spend hours to get a few cents for "writing"? This should have been my pet peeve of the day..or week...possibly year. You people probably have a life and I'd read about that. Seeing people post stuff about casinos, *celebrities*, land deals, etc. just makes me depressed for them and for the rest of us. If I wanted online medical advice, I'd go to a major university medical center sight--there are tons of them. Celebrity news is everywhere from CNN to AOL headlines to the radio news. What a total waste of (Cyber)space.

When it comes to the celebrity news rubbish, they just copy and paste the first paragraph, and link to the original article on an external site. I don't think there is actually any work involved for the people who run these blogs.
It's too bad you can use upto 150 words from any source without being guilty of plagiarism, as long as you cite the source or link to it.
Of course, I too am guilty of 'fair use', in one or two occasions, but these bloggers who do it in every bleeding entry should be sued and made to pay billions in damages.
