Very cool!

Maybe the good guys actually win sometimes.

It must have been fun to handle that amount of cash if even for just a few hours.

/this planet is less of a mad world when shiat like this happens.

//maybe humans can take back the world.

///post this whole thing to the UN as an example of what to do when someone pisses you off. there is hope for humanity.

SweetSaws: Alpha Sierra Foxtrot: Oh, and Charles Carreron filed lawsuits against the Oatmeal, the American Cancer Society and the National Wildlife Federation because threatening well-loved charities is, like the best legal stra-tee-ger-eee every.

As a Capricorn, i support the lawsuit against the Cancer Society, those arrogant pricks

You superstitious Capricorns. Your belief in the prophecies and the scrolls of pythia are ignorant and foolish! We'll never find Earth that way!

pfffft, amateur

I wonder if "Charles Carreon" is,in fact,an alias of Jonathan Lee Riches.

Ah, that was it!

No, no Carreon isn't Riches. But that nutjob is involved.

The what? For the what?

dragonchild: So, there are four pennies in the duffel bag?

If you look closely at the "F.U" picture, you'll notice he's made the period with four pennies and what I assume are three one-dollar coins. The rest is in 20s.

So, yes, there are four pennies (and three dollar coins) in the duffel bag.

IncessantHooting: I'm shocked by the number of Farkers who aren't aware of what this is about.

It was easily 10% of my entertainment for the last couple of weeks.

As long as we're catching people up - don't forget to check Charles Carreon's wife's derptastic blog - the Nader Library.
Ooh ooh ooh - she has a new section dedicated solely to this http://rapeutation.com/introduction-to-the-subject

Some folks don't keep up with the awesome.

Against my better judgement, i went to those mentioned sites.

That kinda batshiat crazy makes me wonder if he and his wife are trolling, or if people are truly that stupid.

I think I lost IQ points there.

Gold!

Damn, I could have robbed him of that duffle bag and made it rain at few strip clubs while finding out if there really is sex in the champagne room.

Fark it, I'm starting a stripper charity fund. Send all monies to me in singles and twenties and I will personally donate it to various strippers.

The Lawyer involved in this case sent The Oatmeal a friviolous cease and decist notice after he put a post up on his blog complaining that FunnyJunk was stealing his material without his permission or credit, and included a douchetastic demand for extortion that Oatmeal's owner pay him 20 grand in legal and hush fees, or he would take him to court. He replied that, instead, he would take a picture of the 20 grand, and send it to two charities. He ended up raising over 200 grand, and the lawyer involved sued to keep him from "profiting" and sending the money to charity.

TorqueToad: What ever happened with the court case then?

After declaring himself the winner - the douchebag withdrew the case.

the entire internet just got trolled.

Just read up on it,but thanks anyway. :)

Shiat, was your original comment sarcasm?

/serves me right for being helpful

isthatyoujohnwayne: NoMessiahInHere: Remind me - what charity is the money going to?

Right, wasn't it the American Cancer Society? Interesting how he's de-specified.

His June 26 blog post says:
"Is all the money going to the National Wildlife Federation and the American Cancer Society?
Yes. Previously I stated that because the amount raised was so much larger than expected I was going to divide the money into four charities instead of two, but unfortunately Carreon's lawsuit claims that I'm holding an "illicit fundraiser" and not donating money where I said I would. To avoid further litigation with him, I decided to split the money between the original two charities. If Carreon wanted a minor victory, he got one here."

He did not de-specify.

Tyranicle: Did anyone 'profit'?

The Cancer Society and Wildlife Federation did.

You are the perfect person to explain this to me:

Why do people flaunt their ignorance in this way? Do you think it makes you cool to not know what's going on in pop/geek culture? That's what I've always assumed, because there is no other explanation I can think of why you would draw attention to it.

I mean, if you really cared, you'd google it, so your intention is obviously to let everyone know that you don't know something. It's odd...

some_beer_drinker: i dont know what that's all about but it's bold. i like money.

I like money too. We should hang out together sometime.

You sound like an asshole.

I don`t read The Oatmeal, but I`ve been following this story. For those who are not familiar and are wondering, yes, this is a legitimate WIN story. Mind you, it only gets that way after you read the back story... but it is a good one.

How awesome is that?! The Oatmeal wins that internet argument, hands down.

The whole thing was a set up.
The two guys have been working together. It's a publicity stunt.
God you people are naive

Mr. Inman better hope he doesn't get pulled over the next time he transports that cash.

IANAL but I read most of the loooooooong linked popehat summary. At one point, the judge said, "Look, just bring me some proof that you mailed the checks to the charities and we're good, m'kay?" (In judgier judgespeak, of course)

He did, thus proving that he did not profit.

Love love LOVE how latecomers to the party are turning their noses up and saying how the charities are "unspecified", simply because he didn't elaborate in this particular post.

..it's the right thing to do.

Ishkur: Okay, so a site I've never heard before, raised money for a charity that's not specified, withdrew it in cash and used it to spell things and take pictures to send to, and rub it in the face of, a rival? ....is that the gist?

That's all it takes to win the internet?

No. Idiot.

I can show you how to find the sex in the Champagne Room, but you gotta buy this code book.
