Maddox OWNS a thieving radio host

I wonder why he hasn't made some money off his talent yet. Its obvious he entertains many people with his writing.
 
hahaha :thumbsup:

it's nice when people try claim witty work that's not theirs as their own... then get owned.
 
you cant really copy and paste cuase the way its formatted - its aligned text centered next to each other it wont paste right
 
I have a twin brother who works
for a radio station in Atlanta, GA!

I received a few emails today about a hilarious radio show broadcasting from Atlanta, Georgia called "The Bert Show." The show can be heard on "All the Hits Q100," and if you're like me, you're tired of radio stations that only play some of the hits. At Q100, they play ALL OF THE HITS. The reason people were emailing me about this station is because apparently I have a twin brother who works there!

My brother's name is Jeff, and we're identical in every way, right down to the articles we write! Check out this piece that was read on the air this morning today on Q100 (left), and my "Trippin'" article (below) for comparison:

Jeff's Commencement Speech:
...
Such an amazing world you are stepping out into, with unlimited opportunities for you to sieze your place and make your way. Let me give you some perspective and show you what you are competing against:

Cameron Diaz

Cameron is now making a living with a brand new show called Trippin' on MTV. Please note that it's Trippin, and not Tripping, because using the final 'g' in any word is tragically unhip and they didn't teach you that in college, and you should know that. Anyhow ... here is how Trippin' goes:

Each show starts with a narrative by Cameron herself. If you can get through that without hurting your hand by punching the TV screen and wishing you were really making contact with Ms. Diaz's throat, you will be treated to 30 minutes of a self-serving, unintentional, fecal-fest. As you sing along with the opening song, you will say the words "YOU GOT THE POWER TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE... YOU GOT THE POWER TO MAKE A CHANGE." Four-years of college, and it took MTV to let you know that you are empowered!

Helping Cameron spread her BS, and helping her make a living is a lively band of misfits as well, including Eva Mendez, rapper "Redman," and Drew Barrymore -- all known as spirited environmental activists who have devoted their lives to activating change. Yay for all of them! From what I understand, this show is all about travelling to the far corners of the earth and attempting to better the lives of people who have never asked for it and who think that Cameron Diaz is an albino giraffe-gorilla cross bred monser created by Quentin Terentino.

This is clearly an up-and-coming industry that you should investigate. Celebrity psudo-vacations under the guise of activism. You may have some trademark issues

... In closing, here is what life boils down to, and this is what is yours to embrace and protect. And it's so simple, so brilliant, you already know it, and you learned it long before college. It's a standard of life and society so powerful that if everyone believed in it the way that they believe that the voting on American Idol is authentic, there would be no laws, wars, no violence and no crime.

It's The Golden Rule.

Do to others what you would like done to you. Not the modified version that has taken hold for the past few years .. Do to others as they have done to you. The Golden Rule -- treat others the way you want to be treated. That's it.

My article:
------------------------
Just when you thought MTV couldn't get more annoying, they give Cameron Diaz her own show called "Trippin':"
Note that the name of the show is "Trippin'" and not "Tripping" because the addition of the letter "g" would not be consistent with the views of MTV's urban youth demographic who tend to frown upon linguistic formalities such as proper enunciation. I mean, proper 'nunciation, yo!

Each episode starts out with me imagining how awesome it would be to punch Cameron Diaz in the face. Nothing too showy, just a quick crack to the jaw to make a believer out of her. I suspect she has a glass jaw like most of the children I fight. Man, just thinking about landing a left hook is giving me a boner. Back to the show though. The theme song states "YOU GOT THE POWER TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE... YOU GOT THE POWER TO MAKE A CHANGE." Wow, thank you MTV, for making me feel empowered and independent, like only a multinational media conglomerate can. Then just when you think you're going to have high blood pressure (permanently), Diaz chimes in with her first person narrative to seal the deal ...

Then as if Cameron Diaz wasn't annoying enough, she brought her "friends" along. In particular, notable environmental activists such as Eva Mendez, rapper "Redman," Drew Barrymore, Jessica Alba, and Blink 182 bass player Mark Hoppus, seen here with a shit-eating grin ...

Jeff Dauler is a hack who thinks he can just steal material from websites without anybody noticing. Too bad Jeff doesn't know how the counters on my site work. Here's a quick refresher for you:

(pic of counter)

That's right, Jeff. It's a counter. It means that 312,101 people as of this writing have read my Trippin' article. It also means that you can't get away with stealing material from my website because millions of people visit this site every month. Good job, asshole. So my work is good enough to be read on morning shows across America, but just not good enough to be paid for, right?


Update (05-24-05):

Jeff gave a full apology on the air today, read it here: http://www.allthehitsq100.com/bertshow/bertpopup.asp?id=5420


 
Asshole #1, meet asshole #2. They're both assholes and as the counter says, people who read his stuff are all gullible idiots.

He's almost as popular among people who hate him as he is with those who like him 😛

ps - you're taking him way too seriously

I thought it was accepted practice for FM radio show hosts to steal bits and what not?

Why don't you email maddox and ask?
 
Maddox may be a tool, but Jeff's little "speech" was about 10x less coherent than anything Maddox has written. Also ironic that he used it to try and evoke "the golden rule".
