    It's interesting -- this story isn't all that hot a topic on our board (perhaps because recipes aren't quite as sexy as Jayson Blair-level transgressions), but the Internet has turned this thing into a bona fide meme in the last 24 hours or so. Judith's brazen attitude towards Monica and the transgression probably fueled this from a handful of shame-on-you posts to a /b/-level orgy of anger, sarcasm and general-purpose trolling. Cooks Source is well on its way to joining the Hitler video, Ceiling Cat, the O RLY owl and vuvuzelas as cyberflavors of the week.

    btw: I suspect this might be a fake page.

    Monica is the victim. Judith Griggs is the plagiarist.

    Maybe Judith stole Monica's name and left her with Judith's!

    I really don't think so. I think they tried to start another page and failed.

    Even if not, people are getting really creative:

    Sorry for the multiple posts on this one...I'm fascinated by this episode.

    Here are the last few posts on the magazine's facebook page.


    Cooks Source Mag: This page is closed for now. Please leave it. Best to all

    Cooks Source Mag: Numerous derogatory posts have been removed and members banned and reported. Those people here to cause trouble are wasting their time. Don't you think that jumping on a band wagon just makes you look lily-livered?
