everytime you link to supertouch you are linking to photos he’s taken from other people’s flickr sites and blogs… which he then re-posts with zero credit… no links, no mentions, no “via”.
last time you linked to superdouche’s murakami in a flower suit pics… those were taken from a flickr site… the photographer has no affiliation with jamie o’ tightie pants.
