Should I assume that because this story was on the internet, everything this guy says is true?

Someone put the address of the FarkTV production studios on Craigslist.

"They honestly thought that because it appeared on the Internet they could say that they thought it was true in hopes of having a legitimate defence to profit by my loss."

Somehow I think that's more accurate.

Lt Shiny Sides is my love slave. She slathers me up in olive oil and we play jabba the hut/princess leia slave games every other wednesday night, then she plays the banjo to lull me to sleep and spends the next day walking funny. Because this is on the internet, it must be true.

That's obviously fake. I haven't even seen Star Wars.

It pisses me off that these idiots all tried to show the guy printouts like that would change things. How great would it be if he just opened fire on them for stealing his property.

Burn you bastards, burn!!!!

Man, they fell for the "everybody steal my stuff" Craigslist ad? That prank's so old.

This is sort of a repeat, this same thing happened to a woman near Portland... Sounds like the sort of thing that just begs copycats.

Yeah, I know that I certainly read this online, so I can vouch for Weaver95's statement. Of course, Weaver95 also gives me 50% of the cut off the DVD sales of his exploits with Lt Shiny Sides

Thought it was true? No - they just thought they had a "get out of jail free" card because it was online.

Kinda like the idiots who find a bag full of cash and try the "finders, keepers" argument.

It's a hell of a thing posting a man's address on craigs list. You take away everything he's got, and everything he's ever gonna have.

When he mentioned DVD sales of your "exploits", perhaps the word "vivid" wasn't the best choice of words.

I recently had my Suzuki GN-125 blow up on me, after 92,100 miles of hard city driving.

I listed it on craigslist: "---free motorcycle, haul it and you can have it---" and some b*tch flamed my inbox, for leaving it dead on the roadside.

Some people got nothing better to do.

ahh, gotcha. I used to be an independent contractor, so I could take offense to that.
I remember the other guys that General Contractors hired though, and it's a pretty accurate stereotype.

/ex cable technician contractor & used to own a company that wired new homes.

Hey, I thought you just left Totalfark and flipped it off in the process. Is this unwanted sponsorship?

 
Necrosis 2008-03-23 09:27:36 PM  
I think this thread has been sidetracked a bit...

"This is completely unacceptable," Fagan said. "Anyone who knowingly keeps any of these items will be prosecuted with the full extent of our resources."

Translation: you'll get away with it.

Whoever posted the ad should suffer horribly, and anyone that knowingly took stuff from the guy should get a good cockpunch. Then maybe some acid to the face.

Glad the guy got some of the license plates, but this is clearly a situation for grabbing the shotgun and yelling "get off my lawn!"

Despite the request in my profile, I've been sponsored three times since I let TotalFark run out. I'm in the process of getting it canceled. Again.
