poll: does the DUmpster need to commemorate.....

[franksolich]

About the same time I took down scamdy.com, the wikipedia article for the late red round one was also taken down, although myself and others associated with following the scam, having no association with wikipedia, had nothing to do with that.

Someone at wikipedia apparently decided the late red round one was a person of no significance, and evaporated it.

There's plenty of stuff stored by Google.  There should be a cached copy of that deleted thread.

Man, that one was massive, and one of the funniest.

I'll look it up later, in time for the 10th anniversary commemoration.

It was taken down because I'd posted a photograph of the sensitive lad, the piano-playing primitive, playing the piano for an appreciative black man.

He whined to Jim Robinson about it, as he didn't want his fellow primitives to know he hung around with black people.

I voted "yes". I've heard bits and pieces of the story here through the years; but I don't feel like I've gotten the "whole picture". Too bad there aren't archived threads anywhere.

Even on Skins's island, there's much that's missing.

"LOCK! DELETE! BAN!" seemed to be my fellow alum's usual reaction.

I could never figure out why the primitives were so upset and bent out of shape at us; it was s-o-o-o-o-o-o obviously a scam, having nothing to do with getting the red round one a "life-saving" operation.

We had the primitives' best interests at heart; not being the most sophisticated people around, like little children they were pretty gullible and susceptible to being cheated.

And feeling sorry for them, we didn't want them to get ripped off.

And their harsh ingratitude was the thanks we got.

I think they would have let it slide, but then coach whacked the pervert.

Now grasswipe Judy is hot on his trail with a ten-year-long investigation.

What's probably been long ago forgotten is that we knew the scam was coming; that's why I was at the computer at exactly 3:30 p.m. central time, 2:30 p.m. mountain time, April 30.

Poor stupid Beth had been blatantly announcing it was imminent two weeks before it got underway.

All that "lead time" kind of ruined her case about how urgent it was to get as much money as quickly as possible.

And out of the tens of thousands of donations announced by the DUmmies and other moonbats, how much cash was actually pocketed by the scammers?

A thousand bucks? Two?

Surely not more than that.

Maybe that much; I dunno, but it wasn't anything near the amounts poor stupid Beth was always announcing.

What ticked me off was that probably most of the donations were from this side, not from the primitives.  We had a whole lot of sob-sisters back then, who were always whining about us "picking on a poor dying man."

Which was utter bullshit.

The red round one was dying, but that had nothing at all to do with this "fund-raiser."

Shouldn't those DUmmies be in prison for this scam? DU rule is they ban people who illegal things. No?
