BoingBoing Outs “Lying Turdmongers”

Filed under: Publicity — Phillip Winn @ 12:26 pm

On BoingBoing I found out that a shady operator is “using BC’s name in vain” to promote a website. I affirm that we have certainly not paid any amount of money to this site. Not $700, not 700 cents, not one penny. I had never heard of them before reading this article on BoingBoing.

Darren Rowse tracked this site down, and based on what I’ve read at Darren’s site and at BoingBoing, I’d be surprised if any of the listed sites even knew this site existed.

I suppose it’s nice to be popular enough to be used as a seed in an apparent scam, but not really.

    Just wait until the site is linked to some sort of illegal Viagra distribution network.

    The price of fame, indeed.

    Maybe they want to be a Blogcritic.
