Remember when Perez Hilton would jack other photographers’ and Paparazzi’s photos and then hand draw dicks and asinine comments on them?
Imagine that, but without the dicks.
The jury’s out on Ruckus Bucket — they are basically just a Tumblr page with no About page or TOS that I, in passing, could find. It seems to be just a repository of ‘cool,’ ‘funny,’ or ‘hip’ videos and articles from other repositories of ‘cool,’ ‘funny,’ or ‘hip’ videos and articles. Like Perez Hilton and other similar sites, they’ll add commentary to avoid litigation.
They have linked to Salon stories, posted already-viral Official Trailer videos, and even the first ever Gold medal for downhill skiing in Sochie; but they also posted the Justin Bieber smacked by Blake Griffin story, 2 weeks after it had already made it’s rounds over on Empiresports.co:

Not only did they repost that story weeks after it had already come and gone, but they referenced the ‘incident’ in another story about the Biebs.

So be diligent with this one! Anything that comes from this site should be considered idle gossip until proven otherwise.
