Slapstick Scammers
From the beak of The Bird to the ear of Stephen Lemons

The livid lapwing lambastes LifeLock phonies, J.T. Ready, and pathetic P-town puppy-huggers
Golly-Pete does this daffy dodo love those old, black-and-white Three Stooges shorts, 'specially the ones with the classic lineup of Larry Fine, Moe Howard, and Moe's bro Curly Howard. Many a Saturday morn of this yardbird's youth was spent yukkin' it up at the screwball antics of those comedic dumbasses, whether they were frying up shoe leather as "fillet of sole," or kicking the madcap crap out of each other in their routines.
Now this nostalgic nightingale has a new set of knuckleheads to observe, though they're not nearly as laughable as the original Stooges, because this time, their shenanigans may involve your personal financial data. The Bird's referrin' to LifeLock marketing director Robert "Moe" Maynard Jr., LifeLock CEO Todd "Larry" Davis, and LifeLock radio shill and presidential candidate Fred "Curly" Thompson.

If the excerpt is any indication of the rest of the article, why bother?
I'd like to see the results of a drug test on the writer.
Stephen Lemons seems a tad bitter
Somebody want to clue me in as to why LifeLock would be scandalous? Rush was hawking them too until he got on this coffee kick.
What the hell. Does google have a translator for “dumbass”?
Is there an English translation?
The guy who founded lifelock has some major fraud troubles in his past. So, if Thompson is supporting that guy, then that would be troublesome.
However, Thompson was an employee of ABC radio at the time he made the commercials and it was his ABC contract that Thompson was fulfilling with making the commercials, NOT a direct support of lifelock.
Here is an article that better explains the situation...

What Happened in Vegas...

and consider if you would like your personal data, useful for committing identity theft, in the hands of the company founder.
Thanks, Mobile. That’s a good article.
This comes not from “Phoenix News,” but from the Phoenix New Times, one of the nastiest leftie free newspapers ever to line the bottom of a bird cage. I don’t believe a thing they say without independent verification.
Thanks. So, technically, the L.A. Times could not find anything wrong with LifeLock, only one of the co-founders then extrapolated that the business is dishonest (with no proof) and therefore Thompson is somehow tainted because he read radio copy endorsing the company.
A stretch? Sounds more like a leap to me.
You’re right. sorry for the sloppy id. Is it possible for me to edit and correct that?
Exactly!
Written drunk and posted immediately.
So if the L.A. Times ran an ad for a local strip club that advertised “L.A.’s most beautiful women” and the strippers turned out to be your typical tattoo-spackled overchested crack whores then we can assume by this logic that the L.A. Times is in cahoots with the bar to deceive the public and should not be trusted. Okayyyyy.
LOL...you're evil.
Boy, they are really grasping, aren’t they? Tsk tsk.
You can’t edit your own entries as far as I know. You could always petition “Admin Moderator” to do it if it’s important.
I wasn’t criticizing, just clarifying for our friends who live outside the Phoenix area.
