Yale Daily News Plagiarizes Self

Today's Yale Daily News opinion page puts a post-Halloween doodle on wash, rinse, and repeat. Please compare today's Entryway K by Sara Freiberg:

<em>Yale Daily News</em> Plagiarizes Self 

...with last year's November 1st Artist's Alley by David Muenzer:

<em>Yale Daily News</em> Plagiarizes Self 

Interestingly, Muenzer is still on staff and shares white space with Freiberg, which makes us think the YDN opinion staff should form a circle around them and start chanting Fight! Fight! Fight! to settle issues of intellectual ownership. Of course, the concept is simple enough that each doodler could have come up with it independently, much like the time I thought I invented using DP as a pun (say what you will about YDN, at least its acronym isn't also a feat of slutty acrobatics).

    I never really understood the idiots who question the “newsworthiness” of a blog post. Of course it is, why the hell would you laugh and then ask something dumb like that?

    In all seriousness, the worst offender here is the person who’s been reading “Artist’s Alley” long enough to notice that. Good God.
