MR. FAMILY: BLUNDER AFTER BLUNDER
Mr Family is on "break" and he blames the township of Wilkes-Barre. But back in April, he was whistling a different tune He was saying he was going to band together the residents of Luzerne county, and unite the religious and political leaders through his blogsite. " People in this county are like me" he claimed. "I am a family man." No one wants a place like that"
It's on the way to Chuck E. Cheese's.
He goes on "with my efforts I’ll bet you by year’s end, the club will be closed." He also boasts, " the pictures of the cars that I will have on my website will keep men at home with their wives and children". Later he says "I have people watching the parking lot, and I know the pictures are keeping people away." How many time have we read on his blogsite that he passes by club and there were only a few cars parked in the lot? Well if all this is true, why are there not any more pictures? Why were they taken down? Why hasn’t the club closed? Truth is Mr Family was lying through his teeth. Mr Family made one blunder after another which I will detail here.
1. Remaining Anonymous- This was one of his biggest blunders. It cost Mr Family credibility and respectabability.
Mr. Family began by trying to collect money for a billboard he was going to post, advertising his efforts. That idea quickly came to an end, when Elaine Cook, Sal’s attorney informed him it was illegal for an anonymous person to collect money.
The news media covered his crusade in the beginning but dropped it quickly because theydid not know who he was and feared a lawsuit. Pastors of churches and businesses also did not want to get involved for the same reason. Had Mr family revealed his identity, it would have helped his cause, and he would have gained support from the religious right. Elected officials felt the same way. He also pissed off Wilkes-Barre Township Officials by sending them a rather nasty email, something he never mentions in his blog. Truth is Wilkes-Barre Township officials will have nothing to do with him.
2. Hogging the Glory-. Even if Mr Family had come out of the closet, he would have need helpers, to spread the word, he simply did not recruit any people do this, he wanted to do everything himself, except go out in the cold and dark and risk getting caught to take pics of the cars. There could have been more prayer meetings, protests, publicity etc. Instead there was nothing, because Mr. Family wanted to hog the spotlight. Mr. Family put his ego ahead of the cause.
3. Pictures of Cars– Some Way, Some How- these pictures which varied from beyond blurry to pictures of car parts were suppose to scare away people from the club. So a pic of red Honda bumper supposedly fingered all the red Honda car owners say in a 50 mile radius. That narrowed it down to a few thousand people.
Mr Family swore by these pictures. He begged people to take pics and email them to him. Then, they became fewer and farther between, and then disappeared altogether, being taken down from his blogsite.
Most people who go to the club never heard of Mr Family. So if their car got on his blog site, they wouldn’t even know about it. And if someone were concerned about it, they could park somewhere else. Big mistake to think that these pictures were going to close down the club or even hurt business.
4. Not Everyone Thinks Like Mr Family- Mr Family thought that most everyone in Luzerne County would be behind his efforts. Truth is even persons who do not go to adult clubs support freedom of choice.
5. The Baby In the Club- This is Where It Begins To Get Weird. Mr Family claims to see a woman carrying a baby into the club while he is driving by.. He calls the police. Makes a big stink on his blog. " I swear to God it is true." No, you swear to God you want us to think it is true.
The club releases a photo from its security camera proving the woman is carrying a shopping bag.
The picture is available at www.gogclub10.com the website of our buddy Mr. Choice.
Mr. Family is all pissed off so he writes a false story that the club is videotaping its customers and releasing it on the internet.
Never tells his readers about the photo proving he is wrong though. The story proves that the man is not only vindictive but also he isn’t concerned about the truth.
6. Gossip, Rumors & Lies– Months Go By– Interest in Mr. Family is waning. Police did not believe the baby story. The picture takers are getting tired. What to do? Start some rumors! The club isn’t paying its bills. Business is bad. It’s going to close. The girls are druggies and hookers. Sex is going on in the back room. People are drinking in the parking lot. Cars are parking illegally in other lots when the parking lot is full- oops can’t say that if business is bad- bondage night is bringing criminals into Luzerne county. High school kids are going to the club. The gossip was suppose to rally his base. Many supporters were offended by his tactics and it got him nowhere.
7. Pick Another Cause- Claim Victory- & Make Your Self Look Good-
Obviously by now Mr. Family realizes he is getting nowhere, so he finds someone
new to pick on. Hopefully, he can win and make himself look good. His opponent, a billboard he finds offensive, the billboard advertises a local radio station. What Mr Family did not take into consideration that the station was owned by Citadel who owned hundreds of stations across the USA. He brought Lamar Advertising and PennDot into fray by posting their telephone numbers on his site to call to protest. Did no good. Mr Choice went on the Jim Bone show about the controversy. Mr Family wanted equal time. 97.9 said ok come on up. Mr family wanted to do it anonymously from home. 97.9 said no. Mr. Family bitched to Citadel headquarters. Citadel said
"We do not give anonymous people time on our stations" Mr Family was pissed. Meanwhile, 97.9 took down the billboard and moved it to the other side of the interstate. Mr Family thought that 97.9 had just taken down the billboard and claimed victory. When he found out the billboard was back up, he was REALLY PISSED and decided to get even. He posted libelous untrue statements about 97.9 interns and the telephone numbers of their corporate offices to complain. Mr. Choice and I promptly called their offices and complained about Mr Family. Later that day, that blog was gone from Mr. Family’s website and within 24 hours all the blogs about the billboard were gone too. Citadel issued a Cease and Desist Order against Mr. Family. Also, shortly thereafter all the car pics were also removed, leaving large gaps in his blogs.
Obviously, Mr Family must have gotten inquires from his readers why he removed these blogs.
Any comments about the billboard were removed from the comments sections. Then the comments sections were removed. Then finally came the " story" that Mr Family was mad at the township and going on break. It sounds to me like it all has caught up with " the man behind the curtain." He realizes he is not the brightest bulb in the marquee" and he has just messed up everything very badly. He has nowhere to go. He has failed to attract anyone with any clout to his cause. So it will go nowhere. Even the EFO story was proven false. EFO wants to move to an area where there is more pedestrian traffic, and less competition. The club has nothing to do with it. If Mr Family does come back, it will be interesting to see if he can come up with a new gimmick.
