Gotta love those guys at Woot. They just sold to Amazon for $110 million, but that's not stopping them from calling anyone out as they see fit. In this case, we particularly love it because they're calling out the AP -- and they're doing so right on their highly trafficked homepage.
You see, Woot noticed that the AP covered the story of their sale five days ago. But in doing so, they also noticed that the AP used a number of quotes from CEO Matt Rutledge's blog post about the sale. According to the AP's own ridiculous rules for using quotations, Woot figures that the AP owes them $17.50.
