Eeny, meeny, miny, moo
Taunt the tiger at the zoo
If he gets out he might eat you
Eeny, meeny, miny, moo
My mother said
To eat the very meanest one
And you are it.
Old Macdonald had a zoo, E-I-E-I-O.
And in his zoo, he had a tiger, E-I-E-I-O.
With a ‘munch on the guy who teased me’ here
And a ‘munch on the guy who teased me’ there
Old Macdonald had a zoo, E-I-E-I-O
Must, Must, Eat the guys
The guys who taunted me
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Should have climbed a tree.
OK, ok, all jokes aside – We do not condone the torment of animals in captivity, and our hearts go out to the families of the victims. In honor of the fallen tiger, we are running Woodys Paw Prints. Non-toxic, non-slimy, UV protected urethane in the shape of a tiger paw print. Made with recycled climbing holds, these prints are fun to climb on and great practice for escaping wild animals that have been taunted …
Oh, yeah, select quantity 3 and we will ship you 4 – That’s right, a free Paw Print for buying 3. Colors vary, hardware included.
Supplies are limited so order quick before they are gone faster than a tiger’s dinner (no pun intended!)

Dammit!!
I like woodys holds, yet I really want to bust your chops for advertising here.
Send me a box of ice cubes and I'll let it slide.

Well I must be an asshole then. Didn't this tiger attack a child? Perhaps after being teased..Either way its a bummer. What sucks more is use of a "tragedy" too try and boost sales. Are any of the profits made from the tiger paw hold going to make its way to helping tigers?? If so the holds might make a little more sense or at least advertising about them might come off a little better.
Cheers

only the ones that you "meet" on rc.com - the romper room of the cyber climber...
you actually meant to try to boost sales with this garbage?before I caught on ( it took a while) I thought some dumbass kid who smokes way too much weed put his prose up to troll, but you actually try to run a business using these adverts? I think you're the asshole.

I was going to send this thread to the recycle bin but after seeing the other Owned thread I reckon that rc.com could also emulate the masters of ownage.
How about it rc.commers, how about some ownage.

Here's some more public knowledge info.
Edit to say that Jay of dailyclimber seems to not be implicated in this latest spam. This site supports those who don't spam.

I think you guys are confused - there are several different people/groups at work here...
There is a site called dailyclimber. On 12-29, dailyclimber listed the woody's pawprints for sale with the text listed in the original post.
http://dailyclimber.com/2007-12-29?via=feed
Dailyclimber has two RC.com posters that I know of, docajen, who is a moderator for the dailyclimber forum
http://www.rockclimbing.com/...i?username=docjacen;
and aja175, who runs dailyclimber.
http://www.rockclimbing.com/...cgi?username=aja175;
The guys from dailyclimber seem decent enough, and I've bought something from them before. They have been admonished in the past for advertising their sales on rc.com. They also have a tendency to write up amusing and sometimes mildly controversial product summaries for their deal-a-days.
The second group is woody's holds themselves.
http://woodysholds.com/
They briefly had an account on rc.com, woodysholds, but that account was deleted, for spamming the same link (a story on their website about a veggie bus climbing trip) to multiple forums. As far as I can tell, these guys are only marginally linked to the dailyclimber guys by the fact that they have carried some woody's holds items on the dailyclimber website.
Lastly, you have 444rocks, who started this thread. Since it is his first and only post on rc.com, I assumed he was simply someone who found the dailyclimber.com listing offensive and decided to post here to bitch about it - hence the "is every rock climber an asshole" title. I seriously doubt this person is in any way affiliated with either woody's holds or dailyclimber, since both of those companies have been very open about saying who they are in the past.
It's up to you to decide whether you find the dec 29 daily deal wording to be offensive, but I wouldn't make any accusations that either woody's or dailyclimber were spamming, at least not in this case.
My point in all of this? It seems like people are jonesing to go on a witchhunt here, and the meatbombz and whatnot will surely take over before they get a chance, but I figure it worth my while to make sure there's one post with some actual facts and not random noise.
Oh, and for folks who aren't aware of it, the owned thread is here:

Well according to "Trace IP"
- That spammers IP address is located just South of St. Lois, Missouri.
(IP 67.142.130.39, Glenallen/Perryville/South St. Lois, MO)
-Dailyclimber,s IP address is located St. Lois, Missouri
(IP 208.78.99.211, St. Lois, MO)
-The same wording of the OP spam is from this daily climber page http://dailyclimber.com/2007-12-29
http://www.rockclimbing.com/...i?username=docjacen; profile lists his location as Missouri
So the wording from their webpage posted with a nasty title added. I don't know, maybe someone doesn't like them?
All I know is the previously listed sex offender
Christoper the Sex Offender
lives in the same town as the spammer.
Co-incidence?

No witchhunt here, it's really no mystery to track someone on internet - there is no such thing as privacy anymore. Make no mistake we will find out who the OP was - after that, all bets are off.
