Breaking News: Advertiser Leaves Columbuzz

By Dude, Dude News Correspondent

Confidential sources have confirmed that one of the advertisers at columbuzz, Mancino's Pizza and Grinders, has pulled its ads after being informed of Bob Freeman's shenanigans on columbuzz.  Mr. Freeman was unavailable to comment on this story as he is still in jail for violations of the Boy Scout Law.  More details to come as they become available.

Over the past several months I have notified a few of the advertisers on Columbusted.net of the type of posts, comments, stories and general direction or stance of the administrator(s) of that site.

Unfounded, malicious acts of accusations and incessant finger-pointing.
Attacks upon local citizens, businesses, politicians, etc.
Gossip, heresay, and insinuation.

I can't remember if Mancinos is one that I contacted, but I suggested to all, to visit and browse the site to see for themselves if it was something they wanted their business, or name associated with.

I, for one, will not patronize any business or service that is connected with Columbuzzed.net in any way. It tells me that they either agree with the preposterous train wreck, or they don't care to check where they hang their name.

I had stopped going into Mancinos when bob started the heavy bashing, and now that they have stopped their ads i will go in there and thank them for their actions and support them as a local business once again.

LOL, "Confidential sources" it's not a secret; we didn't post this information because it is the business right to pull the advertisement on Columbuzz. Whether it's for political reasons or not, it didn't cost them a dime!

We respect Mancino's decision.

"Confidential sources" was a joke, Jeremy!

wooohooo!!!!! i have just learned that I banned from his site at some point today - hahaha how funny is that

Dude said...

Good job Chris! Welcome to the club! Eventually, everyone will be banned except for the Bob-o-bots.

"We respect Mancino's decision"?????

I seriously doubt that they are looking for your respect. You act as if they needed your permission and you gave it...LOL

By the way, do you have Freeman blood in you?
You'd better run Mr. Inquisitive(columbusman), you're starting to sound like your mentor.

Chris, telling Mancino's that you appreciate their values is a great idea! I just had one of the best pizzas of my life :)

I enjoy their food, but as long as they were supporting that site, I could not justify spending a dime there, knowing that part of it could be going to his site. I can understand small businesses advertising on sites, and not having time to check what is going on at the site with their day to day activities, and it is only fair that once things change I go back to supporting them

Yikes said...

Mercman - you loosened the lid so keep working on the remaining advertisers and I think Bob and the Bob-o-bots will learn the hard way that they can't lie and steal others' intellectual property and content.

Bob challenged us and gave me his permission to shut his site down, so I can only do as I'm asked :)

yikes - the first things that come to mind are su to root and chmod for some reason hehehe

Yikes said...

Indeed. Let's try the easier route - allowing Bob and the Bob-o-bots to sink themselves. They are so good at it. 777 isn't a bad 2nd option either ;)

Yikes said...

Mr.Inquisitive - tell me about it Beavis...It's so hard when your primary advertiser leaves. Now you're left with your mentor's cronies (is that allowed? :) but they are about to demand you remove your ads as well. Do you respect them as well?

Have a great and unprofitable day :)

"Whether it's for political reasons or not"

Jeremy, do you really believe that they left because of political reasons? Fail, try again.

Bob Freeman said...

That 'primary advertiser' was getting a free ad to help them while construction was in front of their place.

We make nothing from our advertisers.

We can put one up for you for free if you ike..... oh wait a minute, you don't have the balls to say who you are. Never mind.

I doubt a Fred Barkes Lackey needs any advertising. LOL

free advertising on a bad site is bad advertising. why would a business want to lower their standards to have their name on a site that throws as much bs as yours? I think you should spend your time playing with your concrete and away from politics and web management all together. and probably away from buildings you are not supposed to be in as well might be a good idea.

Driving you nuts, isn't it? I know, short drive. You don't have the balls to post my comments on your lame website or post the web address of my site. What are you afraid of?
