I hate the internet sometimes. I started a search on this site to see the various WOL stickers people run on their rigs. So, because I'm a veteran, when I see a thread title like this I gotta check it out. Then, because I don't want to look like an idiot, I have to read the whole thing before posting anything. Seriously....the whole frikkin thing.
Anyway, I think back on page 56 or so, Mr. Lbredefe elucidates exactly what had been going through my noggin: Why on Earth would people give Mr. Oregano 4 G's to paint his Xbox with wheels so he can drive around and raise awareness intended to motivate other people to contribute to his stable of charity thoroughbreds? The logic of this gives me a headache. If I'm looking at taking, say, $500 and donating it directly to HFOTUSA or to this guy who drives around and *might* get someone else to donate to the same charity...........guess what. Yeah. No brainer.
Furthermore, if you put the pieces together, like Mr. Lbredefe rightly points out, the success ratio of your investment is beyond questionable. To say you need $4k for paint and then brag about raising only $421 (sadly) multiple times like it was a great accomplishment simply tells me you have more luck attracting donated aftermarket parts than you do fundraising for yourself or anyone else. The ROI here is not only bad, but it's ABYSMALLY NEGATIVE.
If you look at his sponsors list and the different levels of sponsorship, you figure out pretty quickly that he's raked in at LEAST $10,000 in products and services. Again.....$421 in keychains. :9lame:
Someone pointed out earlier that Mr. Coriander has alot of interests. I'd say so:
http://whois.domaintools.com/fallenheroescar.org
BTW, he used his home address in setting up his domain so technically he put his own address on the interwebz. Not very smart. Whois searches are publicly available to anyone so if you're reading this, Herbie, suck it.
According to the record, his name is associated with 47-49 other domain names. Some of which are:
1. 995support.com
2. birdseyeviewweddings.com
3. clock-you.com
4. clocknames.com
5. debralawson.com
6. donspinkdrink.com
7. eatsleepstore.com
8. fallenheroescar.org -->> auto-redirects to fallenheroesjeep.com (someone may have already pointed that out)
9. thatthingamajig.com
10. ticketyticketytock.com
11. ttgowings.com
Oh, lest I forget.......fallenheroescar.com is for sale. Domains are cheap these days............
So yeah, this Paprika dude sure appears to be one Slim Shady. How does someone get 8 hours of combat experience exactly? Jeezus, what a fuckstick. Can I say fuckstick here? If I can't say fuckstick, just edit fuckstick out and accept my apologies.
He reminds me of this guy I served with in the Gulf War who put himself in for a Purple Heart b/c he bumped his head on the ceiling of the truck he was driving after hitting a bump out in the desert. Was wearing his helmet. :gaah: Seriously glad he was in the rear with the gear.
Lastly, kudos on bull-dogging this. Now back to the stickers search.
