Pop quiz: What prime time TV star is pictured on the cover of the August 31, 1987 issue of Time magazine?

Conan O'Brien surprised Masi when he pulled out the issue on the show last night.

"The photographer for Time Magazine actually was a parent of one of my friends," Masi said. "And she was looking for smart Asian kids."

Dear tvgasm:

Why the hell would you hire this Tabloid Baby guy who shamelessly rips off links from other sites and claims them as his own?

I thought you guys were above that.

I've been reading your site since you began in 2004, and you guys used to be original. What happened?

What happened is Tabloid Baby, and the corporation involved.

I would have liked to have been shocked by this, sadly, I saw Conan last night and they showed this. Anyone else see it? Hero, in real life, is kind of lame..then again, he was on the cover of Time for being a nerdy Asian, so I shouldn't be too surprised.

worster,

Most sites post same stories. In this instance TB was posting on what was on Conan Obrien last night. I dont think he ever claimed to have been the one to dig up the magazine.

When we take things directly from another site, we give credit to wherever we took things from and provide a link to the site. Same way we have been doing it since 2004. Im not sure what youre up in arms about. Nothings changed.

Madeyoulaugh,

I've been reading this site religiously since very early. I remember when you and B-Side and J-Unit were the only people here and answered reader questions directly.

That is not happening now. So please don't say that nothing has changed.

I'm not saying the change is bad (I've enjoyed many Tabloid Baby posts though not all which is fine) but please dont say nothing has changed. I dont' remember green words turning into advertisements before and I recall Viewing all pages at once so I could print them for the bus every single day. Why can't I do that anymore? SOMETHNG HAS changed!

But I still love you guys!

LHM--

I think that MYL was referring specifically to the site always giving credit if a piece comes from somewhere else (like TabloidBaby crediting Conan O'Brian), and not to the entire TVGasm site being unchanged since '04.
