thread_title:  Use of strong language really needed? 

message: I believe that there have been several attempts (one was mine) to cross-reference this article with the Feministing article - one that has a link to this one. These edits always seem to get reverted, in my case due to a claim of linkspam (presumably because I included an external link as a reference). Since the Feministing article includes a piece on the controversy over the blog's use of the Mudflap Girl image, can we not find a way of making some reference to Feministing here? Would anybody object to an unreferenced sentence on the subject (without the strong language that LayneH doesn't like)?

message: Wired has as story on this which completely contradicts this article. http://www.wired.com/autopia/2011/04/mudflap-girl-was-this-guys-mom/ 
I also find it disturbing that; there's absolutely no trace of Bill Zinda, the number of people who have claimed to have created this, the fact the trademark owner is creating a story. I suggest the article be re-written to reflect the unknown orgins and the many claims, all of which cannot be reliably validated. Dewdude (talk) 17:59, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

message: I have proof of where the a original design came from. My grandfather has a picture with the "mudflap girl" from 1965 while working at his steel mill. Also we could do carbon dating on the piece since he still has the original one he made. The guy Ed was my grandfather's bestfriend and Ed stole the design which in turn lead to Bill stealing it from Ed. This shows you how disgusting humans can really be. While Bill lived a great life off my grandfathers design, never having to worry about anything from all the money he made. We struggled growing up, my grandfather and grandmother did everything to provide us with a good life as best as they could and now 81 years old they live in a 500 sq ft house that's literally fallen apart because they cant afford anything else. My grandfather is a good man and did not deserve that. So sad. But I know one day Mr. Ed and Mr. Bill will have to answer for what they have done to the lord 🙌— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1016:b001:6abb:ac9e:67be:b25c:51fb (talk) 07:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
