The Sticky Fingers of 'Fangoria'

Screaming Mad George in his Osaka workshop in May 2019. Photo by Brett Homenick. (Got that, Fangoria?)

"Plagiarism running rampant!" -- Dok Hendrix, WWF Action Zone (1995) 

This isn't exactly plagiarism, but it's close enough, and it needs to be addressed.

Fangoria used a photo I took of Screaming Mad George in his Osaka workshop in May 2019 without any attribution and -- worst of all -- put a Fangoria watermark on my photo. I mean, I've been stolen from before, but rarely has anyone been so bold as to slap that kind of trash on my stuff. 

The trash in question.

Fangoria's lack of journalistic standards has been evident for decades, but this is too much even for a rag like that. How pathetic. Instead of celebrating the life of Screaming Mad George, I have to take these dunces to task for their sticky fingers. And these people have the audacity to call themselves journalists?
