Controversy for CARA in Chase contest

There was recently a little bit of controversy in the Chase Community Giveaway. Chase gives away cash prizes to non-profits that receive the most votes. Nice little program and a good way for deserving charities to obtain much-needed funding. Questions were raised about some of the votes for CARA, a local well-known "no-kill" animal shelter.

An online website, Digital Journal, published a story claiming the program was "rife with fraud". Link to story The story focused on CARA's votes and claimed no comment could be obtained from the organization. The story has some weaknesses, such as the fact it claims there are saved "screen shots" to support the allegations. However, the question must be asked why the story did not include several of the pictures as they would have supported the subject's story. I'm not publishing excerpts of the story here, just making you aware of it and what I consider to be its weaknesses.

WJTV reported on this story last week. Videos won't embed for some reason so here are the links to them. Story #1, Story #2

What? WHAT? You mean every single account on Facebook isn't a real person using their real name?

Facebook is supposed to save us all from the deadly sin of online anonymity. Say it ain't so Kingfish. SAY IT AIN'T SO.

The guy looks like a spammer to me. He drums up accusations, does not link to any proof (screenshots), and happens to pick a very emotional issue "animals". Then, he hocks his wares on his site. Spammy to me!

I hope they dig into his accusations and Chase slams this poor excuse for a human being. I noticed that one of the companies he claims to have "brought down" is taking the accusations very seriously.

Nothing against Cara, but aren't all 'on line vote for me or my cause' contests nothing more than a jacked up game to see who can click the most times on the most computers in the shortest period of time?

I'm reminded of all those times I've been emailed a request to 'vote for my daughter' or 'please vote for my friend to get selected as senior sexy momma' and on and on. Always with the footnote, "Vote as many times as you can and as often as you will, please help us win!"

Next, can we discuss collecting cigarette packs or pop tops in order to get ten thousand bucks for your local school?

I would've put up the screenshots. Hope he recorded that guy saying he had them.

Jeromie is [fill in the blank] and has a longstanding burr in his corset about the Constance McMillen matter. He attacks anything in Mississippi he perceives to be associated with either the straight or religious communities.

Shadow we truly thank you for another long wind of boring commentary.

Chase couldn't care less if the voting was rigged. They simply want the exposure of being a charitable corporation. Having millions of unique Facebook users and a few fake accounts is hardly a concern.

On a side note, I wonder how many of the OWS folks were scratching and crawling to get some of this "evil" banks money?

3:07; take a dump in your ball cap and pull it down over your ears. Smells lak home, don't it?

Wouldn't know Shadow, but your image stirs up images of Whitfield. Hope you are safe.

Jeromie Williams said...

First off, I have no idea why Constance McMillen has anything to do with this.

Secondly, if anyone wants to see the screenshots, all they have to do is ask.

Thirdly, don't you people have better things to do with your time than post anonymous hate literature against me, which is obvious and plain as day that you're all from the area this story came from.

Trolls.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
