Mechfish at #11- I guess I'm just the type for giving the benefit of the doubt, but I see where you are coming from.

"I'm trying to imagine what went through the person's head that did this. Did they think that FOX, being a big ol' monolithic Capitalism-with-a-captial-C company could sort of, err, do whatever the hell they wanted?"

No, I doubt that's what they were thinking. The person who is responsible is probably a low on the totem pole intern or such and saw that picture and thought, "Hey, that's a cute dog... that's just what I need." and nothing else.

She seems to think that the bigwigs at fox all sat around a table and decided which images to nab while laughing like those evil scientist types from b-movies. I don't condone taking others things etc, but honestly it was probably just a stupid mistake that is going to cost someone a job.
