The Bob Freeman Drinking Game

To play this game, choose a Bob Freeman article on columbuzz.  For the purposes of this game, an article refers to the actual article plus the comment section.
  • Take a drink every time you see the word "shenanigans".
  • Take a drink every time Bob calls someone a monster, a bitch, or an idiot.  Take two drinks if he calls someone a monster bitch or a monster idiot.  Take three drinks if he calls someone an idiotic monster bitch.
  • Take a drink every time Bob refers to his campaign slogan "You can't put out a fire by throwing money on it."  Take two drinks if Bob actually tries to put out a fire by throwing money on it.
  • Take a drink every time Bob refers to himself as "we".
  • Take a drink every time you see the word "civil".  Take two drinks if Bob is actually civil to someone that disagrees with him.
  • Take a drink if Bob actually allows you to make a negative comment on his article.  Take two drinks if he accuses you of being his archnemesis Mercman.  Take three drinks if he accuses you of being Jeff Barkes.  Take four drinks if he tries to track your IP address.  Take five drinks if he actually blocks your IP address.
  • Take a drink every time you see the phrase "at the risk of repeating myself" or "let's be clear".
  • Take a drink every time Bob writes something idiotic but he thinks it's brilliant.
  • Take a drink every time a Bob-o-bot submits a glowing comment.
  • Take a drink every time Bob is delusional in his article.
  • Take a drink every time Bob makes a math mistake in his article.
  • Take a drink every time you see the word "truth".  Take two drinks if Bob claims he never lies.
  • Take a drink every time Bob violates the web site usage policy.  Take two drinks if Bob claims the usage policy doesn't apply to him.

Drink responsibly? Any chance of that would be blown before you finished the first paragraph.

Oh my God! I'm am so stinkin' drunk!

Dude said...

That's OK, just as long as you don't drive. But maybe I should have said:

Caution! This game may cause alcohol poisoning.

Mercman said...

I don't like this game.
I should've known that anything associated with the name BOB FREEMAN can't be good for anybody.

Dude, this is an excellent site, and I think you're doing a good job of exposing what Bob Freeman is hiding.
You have a great way of putting into words, what myself, and I'm sure many other people, have been thinking.
Bob thinks everyone MUST agree with him, since he's ALWAYS right, and if not, all opposing views are deleted or "archived" (yeah, right) on his website, but he can't suppress anti-Freeman comments here.

Hey Bob...who am I? LOL

How about when Bob cuts and pastes entire articles (and associated graphics) from other actual news sites, without crediting the article source and attempting to pass it off as his original content?

Actual news organizations and sites do have content sharing agreements with each other (usually involving licensing and ad sharing revenue), but at the very least, the consuming site (in this case, Bob's) is supposed to quote a couple of lines or a paragraph or so and then provide a link to the entire article from the ACTUAL content creator - that way the originating site (those doing the actual work) gets its proper share of traffic and ad revenue.

The only original "articles" that I've read on Bob's site consist primarily of his rants / opinions / accusations and the occasional one line "we've heard something is happening...more to come" - which I take as he's searching the Republic and Google to find the actual details that he can copy into his "own" version (read exact copy) of the article.

In academia, stealing others' thoughts and ideas is known as plagiarism. In business, stealing others' intellectual property, content, traffic and ad revenue is known as copyright infringement, theft and fraud - all of which are highly illegal.

Bob is just as authentic as his supposed "news" site. I suppose this is just another case of how Bob follows the rules and laws that he claims are the foundation of his laughable campaign. I'm sure the Republic and countless other actual news sites can't say enough about "working for Bob".

Bob, if you can't even understand and follow the laws with your junky little website (that you have 100% totalitarian control over), how exactly do you think you can manage ANY elected office?

Seriously, stick to testing concrete. On second thought, stop doing that as well - it concerns me to think about any of the buildings, roads or basements you might have tested.

"more to come" means:
we don't have facts, we don't have proof, we don't even have a complete story, so we hope you will forget all about it because we have nothing more to add and we won't even try, however we might repeat this very story again and again in a different way to try to fool someone into believing the story is new, fresh, or real.

I think Bob is just out to make money on his website. The illusion of whistle blowing is the lure.

Bob doesn't make money on the site, I do!

It's still copyright infringement when he posts other peoples' work under his name and when he attaches someone elses photograph without giving them credit and compensation for their work.

Jimmer Jones said...

Bob signs what he writes and gives credit for any article he finds elsewhere and posts on columbuzz. Photos found in a google search sometimes have no originator attached. And if that photo is altered, cropped for instance, to fit the article, it is no longer the same photo, thus, it becomes an original.
You should check your facts better before you post. You should also look closely at the facts Bob has presented about Crooked Barkes.
He tells truth.

Dude said...

Hey look, it's a Bob-o-bot!

Wow, Jimmer, I never thought of it that way. You mean I can start a site, charge advertising and post other peoples work without compensating them? I can make a killing off someone elses work. I wonder why other people haven't done that. Oh, that's right, because its ILLEGAL!

Maybe I can make money off Ansel Adams photos. I just have to crop them a bit. Better yet, I'll start boot-legging movies, cut a scene and call it an original, and I'll never have to pay royalties. I'm in the wrong line of work. Thanks for enlightening me.

Yikes said...

Jimmer Jimmer Jimmery...you truly are a stooge. If your weren't so sad, it would be funny. Let's take a hypothetical. I steal a painting from the Louvre and cut a half inch off the bottom, I can sell it as my own original creation right? Genious.

Has anyone noticed how Bob and the Bob o bots are a lot crude on this site that on his? He liks to cuss and be extremely rude on here but point fingers at others? To all of Bob's robotic friends "Mama always said to not point fingers at others b/c you have a lot of fingers pointing back at you".

Dude said...

Hey, that's a great name for a rock band: Bob and the Bob-o-bots!

I bet they will sing a lot of BS

US CODE Section 101 has some nice definition of copyright, and photos, if cropped, are not a new image, the original photographer still owns copyright of that article. it is obvious that Jimmer Jones is an idiot, or he would have looked into this issue, instead of saying he is in the right, and others are in the wrong, but what do you expect from a freeman supporter
