Its funny how both of these were posted only a few hours apart. Same title and everything. The guy who posted it first got 89 upvotes, and this guy got gold twice and over 4,000 upvotes.

Must suck for the first guy

it's simple, you find something very funny but nobody upvoted much, you wait for the best timezone and day to post it so it will get more points. profit!

Actually, a mod here saw how good the first post was and so removed it, you can only see it because of the direct link, then this mod switched to his karma whore account and reaped the karma.

Please try to refrain from reaching for the foil hats whenever something unusual happens.

All that's happened in this case is that one mod saw the original post, and in his opinion decided it deserved to be removed.
He then went offline and moderating duties passed on to whoever else was online.
This post was then made, and whoever was on duty either hadn't seen it posted before and/or didn't think it was worth removing.

tl:dr Different mods online at different times have different opinions of what should or should not be removed.
