Destructoid stole my work!

So I just found this http://www.destructoid.com/my-sexy-nerdy-fertility-boosting-rebirth-wish-list-153055.phtml

Everyone remember that little thing I created? :/ So I haven't been credited at all... anyone know if I can potentially sue them or something? *angry faic*

I like how at the bottom of the site it says "All editorial content, including blogs, comments, and forums written by our community, are licensed under a Creative Commons License permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution."

They're basically saying, "we've stolen your work and if you want to share it, you have to credit us, even though we didn't credit you"

:(

Update: They've removed it now! And Damn straight too

    Your awesome creation was my desktop background until my newborn baby took over.
    I don't know about suing them, but sending them an angry e-mail might soothe you. Not sure what else it would accomplish, though... :(

    Good news, everyone who visits this forum will know it's yours.

    Way ahead of you... I then posted on here to further soothe my pain :(

    And what makes me most furious is that I found it on the SECOND page of google search for "Monkey Island Guybrush Sprite". Now that would have been good publicity for me if I had actually been credited!!

    Should DoctorM64 pitch a fit, too? After all, I'd wager that's his Project AM2R used in thar.

    So, since apparently it's no longer there, mind posting here what your little image was?

    And while I'm at it... I think everyone should check out this webcomic I'm currently doing at http://tedscribbles.tumblr.com/

    Scapetti, I hadn't seen it before now but that is so awesome. Hah, such a great job of making it look like Monkey 2 but from new TOMI content. Many props!
