Life / Teh Internets Voice Mail of the Day
Posted by David Schmader on Fri, Jan 27, 2012 at 10:58 AM
Left on my voicemail by Karen from San Diego:
I'm calling because I wanted to make sure that you are aware that someone hacked a site that your company is responsible for, or they may have co-opted some of your bandwidth to broadcast an anti-Santorum website. It's called Spreading Santorum. If you a responsible for this, and I would trust that nobody there would be stupid enough to do something like this, or I would have thought you would have at least hidden that you run this site. If you're not actually doing this, I suggest you look into it and ask whoever is doing this to remove it. This is sickening. It's going to lose you business, or at least I'm going to make sure it does lose you business if you don't do something about this.
Thank you for the heads-up, Karen.

Just for that snide response, Occupy Valentine's Day is calling a general strike on The Stranger, you pro-couple anti-single rag!
Remember, #OccupyVD is here, it's near, it's ... oooh, shiny pebble.

I shall withdraw my precious page views and stop patronizing your tranny-tug-job advertisers if you do not shape up.

teehee. yesterday my constitutional law professor said this in class: "in any case, it's probably best to assume that people are a whole lot stupider than you think they are."

Karen is running her own Frothy Mix of Lube and Fecal Matter business down in San Diego, and wants you to stop horning in on it.

Thanks for reminding me to click on www.spreadingsantorum.com today, Karen.

Hey you never know, she MIGHT be the biggest adult phone-sex advertiser on the West Coast - I mean, it's POSSIBLE, right?
17
Oh shit! You guys are the ones doing that? You started the whole santorum thing? Wow! Wow! I didn't know. Wow!
Good job, guys! I love that joke!
Good job, guys! I love that joke!

OMG I can't believe this. I had to click on http://spreadingsantorum.com/ several times just to make sure it was for real. I think I'll go click on it some more just to see if you've taken it down yet.
22
Tell her you're working on taking the page down, but she should check the site everyday, just to make sure.

I remember in 2004 when someone contacted my boss to complain that a Canadian (me) was using his website to spread anti-American propaganda (anti-Bush cartoons). He was told by my boss that he would be first against the wall when the Red Chinese would invade. (and he meant it)
26
Karen did leave a callback number and her last name, but it seems fair that the only one who's allowed to call her back is Dan.

Noooo, please don't take business away from this free website/paper that gets all of its ad revenue from local bars/sex shops/ and escort ads!!!!!

It's really too bad that Rick Santorum has such stupid followers. Of course, San Diego is kind of a hotbed of dumbass conservatives who'd love to vote for a guy like Rick Santorum, so I guess it's not surprising. If Rick Santorum's followers were more capable of cognition, they'd find a way to mount their own campaign by linking Rick Santorum's name to his campaign website, instead of to Spreading Santorum. Still, you have to be pretty foolish to think that Rick Santorum is actually going to get the nomination, since Rick Santorum's views are misaligned with where the GOP is right now. I know that Rick Santorum appeals to the evangelicals, but we all know that's a much less powerful voting bloc than they think it is. I know we all wish Rick Santorum the best in his quixotic quest to turn the White House into a mottled shade of brown, but the truth is that once the election is over, Rick Santorum will fade from public view.

Hmmmm. I hadn't heard of this particular internet problem before and, to my knowledge, the only product I'm aware of is Santorum Sweater Vests. Oddly enough, they only come in an unflattering shade of $#*!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
Another terrific laugh for the afternoon.
[Yes, I'm being 12 today.]

You should find out where Karen works and tell us so we can take our offended business over to her instead.

@48. I do indeed! If this is regarding not putting a NSFW on there, I didn't know that a) it would hyperlink and b)that lemon party was not-well-known enough that it might need one. Apologies for any problems that may have caused. :)

Mr. Schmader, I just wanted to say hello after an enjoyable evening at your show. Suffice it to say I have been drinking, but I wanted to say I do hope that you get to see the comment cards after the show. I wrote some comments that I wanted you to see.
