Melissa Theuriau Has Nothing to Do with Mockoblog

Friday, September 17th, 2010

In the wake of the uncovering of the (allegedly) unlawful use of her image on the Net, we wish to re-assure Melissa Theuriau that our site has never used her image to promote anything that she was not related or contracted to.

Melissa Theuriau NOT on Mockoblog

However, various advertisers on this space might have used Melissa’s perfectly proportioned features and dynamic attitude in still pictures to promote products that our site has no direct link to. (Actually, if we click on the active adverts inserted in our site, we get penalized.)

As a sign of recognition for her image being (ab)used in a page hosted apparently by us, Mockoblog is happy to donate to Melissa 100% of its earnings from advertising not only on that page, but for the whole last 12 months. This is no offence. We expect Melissa Theuriau to donate this money back to us, as it wasn’t our fault, either. The sum we gathered from our TOTAL  adverts is around US 0.66 in the past year, in huge contrast to what others WILLINGLY using her image have made.

and, Melissa, we are sorry we can’t do much more to put this right. It’s not your fault you look the way you are.

Christchurch Quake Update – Wednesday 08/09/10

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

“Mother” (???) Nature is putting us through a lot of tests lately. Or is it God?

After the Saturday 04/09/10 big 7.1 Richter earthquake, we’ve had hundreds of aftershocks. They are still happening as I write this (non-mocko) post.

If you need any clarification on what the red stuff means on this seismograph – RED is too big to fit in the grid. We are showing here just the latest 24 hours.

24 hrs worth of quakes in chch, as we speak

For most people, this would be more than they would experience in their whole life. And we don’t know if there’s any end to this nightmare.
