The winner HereComeSte had done nothing but copyed and pasted from the BCC Website.
Here is the link to the poem

Do you think Habbo should cancel his prize , or let him have it.
Well i vote , CANCEL HIS PRIZE.

My God... You'd think they'd check such things. Plagiarism, along with being a very hard word to spell, is one of the major downsides of the Internet... And this is a prime example...

Good find, +Rep.

Jesus, let him win.. If it doesn't affect you.. dont bother.

[MADNESS!]

[BunnyManGroup]

Tea, It's unfair though. People could of really worked hard on it , and it's all been thrown away by a cheating user , it shouldn't happen.

[BunnyManGroup]

what did he win?

A Throne and petal patch

It affects Mr. Don Crawford, original writer of the poem. Going off slightly, Saddam didn't affect me - I still want to see him tried and punished :) If you let people get away with stuff they'll continue to do it...

And no problem :)

Tea it does'nt matter if it affects anyone. Its blatant plagiarism and he should be disqualified and ashamed.

I vote no prize for him and one of the other hard working Habbos should get it.

[Yggdrasill]

[exploit]

Thats disgusting ;l Some Habbo's would've worked hard on poems and a c&p poem just comes in! Come on Habbo ;l Look closely at what poems are actually being sent!

[womanizer]

lets make him hate rooms

[ColyTom]

OMG, this is disgusting. I can't believe he would snoop so low.

[PaulMacC]

Thats sickening , Thousands of habbo's spend 1-2 hours on their poems while this guy C&P's from BBC. If BBC Finds this out The writer can Sue.

That's exactly what I thought. I mean, the HHT isn't much use on legal matters - I'm pretty sure either Chris or Emma will read my email, I did put:

"Poet's Corner Plagiarism"

as the title, and as everyone knows, alliteration always allows added attention :)

Jeez, why you getting yourselves so wound up over it?

And I doubt the writer of the poem will sue a kid for using his poem to win a pixelated piece of furni :rolleyes:

But the fact is he could. Imagine writing a huge 10 page essay for your English coursework, then finding that someone else has stolen it, got the credit for it, and the A*. Not that nice, is it?

[:Hazel]

lol thats just lazy.

[PaulMacC]

Yep , Is Like Stealing Apples From An Apple picker
Mmmmmmm Apples

[Misawa]

The thing is, the sender won't get in trouble, Habbo will.

[ReviewDude]

Very true, they should check all of this stuff before they put it on their site. It's not exactly hard to put the first line through Google, is it?

[Filipe]

Omg! Thats not right at all! cheating so he could try and get popular by posting someone elses poem, and tea that will be stupid to just "let him win"..

[PaulMacC]

Yep I Agree

[Hurts]

:o That's out of order and very lazy, and he's abit of a idiot for sending it in on his main account.

[stratosphere]

Yeah but maybe habbo will think we are jealous and ignore our letters about it :rolleyes:

[Black_Apalachi]

I KNEW THAT WAS RIPPED! :o

There are a couple of words in it I have never heard of and it just didn't sound like some kid wrote it.

To be honest, the Habbo staff who judged it are stupid. :eusa_wall

Hi there

I'll pass your email on to the Hotel Manager who runs the weekly poem
comp.

Thanks

(Reply to my email)

[quijibob]

You need to get over it. Just because you didn't think of such a fantastic plan. I am pleased for them that they succeeded in fooling habbo into thinking it was their own work. why didn't I think of that?

[bennoth]

Yeah...to be honest i find it kinda funny ={

[brandon]

Google the first line of the poem, like 20 sites have it on and yeah it is Don Crawford's, jesus some people.

[Starburst..x]

I think Habbo should delete his entry, I'm not sure how they would tkae his prize back, but that should be done aswell.
Why should he win if he has cheated?
What about other Habbos that spent at least and hour, on their own original poem?
