Some of you have emailed us concerning a political attack video by the Meg Whitman campaign for California governor which features a screenshot of FAIL Blog attacking the other candidate Jerry Brown. We want to make it VERY clear that FAIL Blog nor the Cheezburger Network had any involvement or knowledge of the Whitman campaign use of a screenshot of FAIL Blog. In fact, the screenshot portrayed in the video never existed because the Whitman campaign faked the content within the screenshot. FAIL Blog or the Cheezburger Network has never been involved in any endorsement of any candidate or political party and do not plan to do so.

This is a place for humor, a place to laugh, and to have light-hearted fun poking at each other and what we see in the world. The FAIL Blog community involves liberals, conservatives and everyone across the political spectrum. And we do not endorse the use of FAIL Blog’s image or any content on any of the Cheezburger sites for anyone’s political gain.

We demand a written apology from the Whitman campaign and the removal of the video.

Sincerely,

Ben Huh, Founder of the Cheezburger Network

P.S. Jerry Brown, you better not be thinking of using this image or post in your political ad either.

Hey Failers,

I know it’s a little out of the blue, but I wanted to say thank you for being a part of the Cheezburger Network. It’s an amazing experience watching the different communities in the Network come together and grow, whether it’s Failbook or That Will Buff Out. Some of you may have read about it recently in the news that we have become one of the largest humor destinations online — all thanks to you, our community.

More than a thousand fans came out to the Cheezburger Night with the Mariners, we recently picked up our 5th Webby award, were profiled in the New York Times and dozens of other publications. All because we, on the Internet, are participating in creating our own content, and our own humor, and sharing it with others.

We’re going to continue to create more “playgrounds” of humor and lulz, and we’re totally dedicated to making you happy for a few minutes a day and continue to create features that will make your experience here more fun.

We wouldn’t be here without you and your contributions, comments, and love.

Thanks again,

Ben “Cheezburger” Huh and the Cheezburger Network team

P.S. We launched the Trophies feature this month, which rewards you with virtual trophies when you favorite a lolz, vote on them, or create them.

They look like this:
