Very droll, thanks. The only comment I could suggest is the quote:
"You didn't make that!"
;)

(Note that even though I quoted you, IanB, this isn't necessarily meant as a direct reply to you. The quote was just to give context to what I'm blabbering on about.)
It's a satire on the mindset of people who--especially with the anonymity of the internet--claim someone else's work as their own. There's a difference between saying "Isn't this cool?" and not attributing the proper source, and saying "Look at this cool thing I made." Claiming other people's work as your own is just inexplicable. :huh:
And full disclosure just in case it wasn't clear: I didn't actually make that image. I was just playing along with the joke. ;)
Edvard:
I've been in that situation. I used to draw cartoon hot rods and super heroes and etc. during my junior high/early high school years (fairly typical) and I can name (first and last!) two kids who took my drawings and passed them off as their own. I know now that it was just a stupid kid thing to do (making it more pathetic when adults do it), but there's a weird sense of betrayal that goes with it that you can't quite describe.
To save face and reclaim my stolen notoriety, I went around drawing stuff for people *on the spot* to prove I was the original artist. :(

I think @IainB made a subtle reference there that you missed. Probably best to PM for what it is. ;) But it was simply hilarious!

I wondered what that thing was called...
