No, but it does mean I don’t need the couple’s permission to reprint the photo. By turning it over to the Herald-Journal, they gave the paper the right to publish it and republish it, forever and ever. In turn, it’s generally considered legal for websites to post thumbnail reproductions of photos found elsewhere on the Internet, including newspapers’ websites. At any rate, if anyone had legal grounds to prohibit my reprinting of the photo, it would be the Herald-Journal, not the couple themselves.

That doesn’t matter! You don’t own the copyright! Just because they gave permission for the Herald Journal to publish it doesn’t release it into the public domain.

The photo appeared with the announcement in the newspaper.

That is rude you guys put up a photo of them — I hope you got permission from the couple.

I know both of them. I work(ed) with Pete.They’re great and I know this is old. But this was a classic. HA! Terrible poem.

I thought this poem was an urban legend and here you are with proof of a source.

Wow.

I know this girl. She dated a friend of mine. She is actually as shallow and haughty as the poem puts forth. She’s one of those people who never really ‘left’ high school. Kudos to Eric for giving this poem the recognition it deserves.

My favorite color is orange
So I’m writing a poem about orange
It’s so very pretty
But I guess I’m not witty
Cause I can’t think of rhymes for orange

Dammit.

Just wait for the official release of the song. Nickelback’s going to pick this one up quick.
