What is Kevin Leam doing now, less than two years after the article above? Eighteen months after getting caught, eighteen months after narrowly avoiding legal action, eighteen months after lying like a frantic rat-bastard about it to everyone he thought was gullible enough to believe him - how does he fare, what does he do with himself, this strange and remarkable man? Has he learned his lesson, has he mended his ways, does he devote his time to pious works? Does he give thanks to providence for his undeserved escape? What, what, what exactly is Kevin Leam doing right now, at the same time that he is somehow getting his good friends at Orange to yank my website for calling him a plagiarist?
Why, he is plagiarising, of course! You can't keep a good copy-and-paste man down.
This is the latest but one entry on his myspace blog, http://blogs.myspace.com/silentdogma, '53 Things I Am No Longer Allowed To Do.'
Note the cute intro implying these are things he's done, the zany fool. Note however that this, too, is plagiarised. Note the full complement of Americanisms. Actually this piece is something that's gone round the net like Chinese whispers, being added to and subtracted from. I doubt he's even done that, but I can't find the version he's copied. The original is here:

And... oh, screw it, life's too short.
