Okay, I am totally not taking sides on this one, as both arguments have some merit.  
I enjoy reading some of the funny articles and I may not stumble across them on sites I normally frequent; they sometimes help to break up the monotony of my horrid job.  However, I have to agree at least somewhat with Rudey on the copyright issue.  People have to have permission to use AP stories... most newspapers pay an annual fee for AP service.
Of course, we have all done illegal things but if something illegal occurs here and GC gets shut down then some people will be very sad...
