The $7 Scandal That Rocked the Web - F&R Auto Sales / Jarrid Tansey

The $7 Scandal That Rocked the Web - F&R Auto Sales / Jarrid Tansey

Word Cloud - Michael Ramos the Finance Manager - Pizza Palace - F&R Auto Sales - Irate Pizza Driver - Jarrid Tansey

F&R Auto Sales in Freeport, Ma. proudly uploaded a video titled “Irate Pizza Driver,” with the intention to publicly humiliate a pizza delivery man as well as try to get the man fired.

What happened was the brain trust of F&R Auto Sales dealership in Westport, MA ordered some pizzas and drinks. The cost of which came to 43 dollars. When the delivery man arrived, he was handed two 20 dollar bills and two 5 dollar bills. Think about that and ask yourself 'What Would Jesus Do'-WWJD?? Now let me think here...two 20s and one five comes to $45, and their total was $43, leaving $2 in change due. They gave an extra $5, therefore it should be safe to assume the extra cash was intended to be a tip, not an irrationally unrealistic uncommon practice occurring these days with your normal pizza-purchasing populace.

In this case, the proof is in the video! The delivery man left after receiving payment, and has to return again later to return the whole $7 bucks! In his return, he attempts to rationally explain what he thought had happened only to get treated badly by the F&R Auto Sales brain trust. Here he gets gets harassed, laughed at and threatened by the staff from F&R Auto Sales in Freeport, Ma.

Hard to believe all of this drama is over $7, but even harder to believe is that these crude, obnoxious assholes from F&R Auto Sales somehow see themselves as the victims and post the video of themselves righting the wrong they felt was done to them. Instead they show the whole world that they themselves are the clueless classless idiots. They really believed they were in the right on this matter and posted the video of their exchange with the now famous delivery man Jarrid Tansey. They posted the video titled "Irate Pizza Driver" and after it was re-posted on Reddit the video went viral. Since this exchange the masses have risen and proceeded to flood the dealership's phones, slow their website to a crawl, and completely trashed their ratings on Yelp and Google. Sweet.

Eventually, the owner of the dealership and his son went in person to apologize to Pizza Palace, in an attempt to stop the out of control damage, too little-too late. Now the world knows that the dealership of F&R Auto Sales employs an entire staff of assholes!


According to the Pizza Palace Manager – Adam Willoughby, this isn’t the first time they have had problems with F&R Auto. “All the time, there’s always a problem, always an issue,” Hernandez said. “We’ve been going back and forth with them for a long time.”

Please feel free to write or call:
F&R Auto
1052 State Rd
Westport, MA 02790
Phone number (508) 678-3208






Be sure to leave your opinion of this dealership on their Yelp Page. At the very least, check the page out, there is some interesting additional information to be found there.

What happened to Jarrid should not happen to anyone, but don't feel too bad for him, because not long after this a gofundme page created by Amanda Marie Rogers has since raised Jarrid Tansey over 30,000. Call it Karma or whatever, but just maybe this time around the right thing happened to the right guy, and as Jarrid says “All is right in the world now.”

AC/DC - Rock or Bust - Review

Rock or Bust is the new album from AC/DC. It is the band's fifteenth international release to date.

This new album ignores the trend of other newer albums that suffer from too many songs. It's straight up 11 tracks. These new songs are reworked leftovers from their Black Ice sessions, and all of the songs are credited to Angus and Malcom Young. The songs are all good, but there isn't any that stand out as truly great. What may disappoint fans is that all of these tracks are are the short side. You will also notice that there are no new catchy lead licks, and this indicates that all of the songs are good, but average. Overall, it's basic AC/DC with the same sound and blend of Rock 'N Roll that they've been delivering for years.
It has the look and feel of an economical output, that doesn't try to be great. After a long wait since their last album some may be disappointed with this, but no one can deliver a masterpiece every time out.

In my opinion, I'm stuck with rating this between 3-4 stars out of 5. It's really good, but not a 4. The songs I like the most are 'Rock the Blues Away' and 'Dogs of War.'

The group leaves us high and dry in the news without much of anything new. They say on their website that with or without Phil Rudd, they will Rock On.

In May of 2015, the band will begin their world tour to promote Rock or Bust which coincides with their 40th anniversary together. Stevie Young takes over for his recently retired uncle and it is not certain whether Phil Rudd will tour or remain with the band. Curiously, from their website, new band photos only include Brian, Angus, Cliff and Stevie. It should also be noted, that Phil did not participate in the new videos in support of the new album. I have a feeling, AC/DC is moving on without him, although it has not been made official yet.

Top 5 Christmas Gift Ideas

Top 5 Christmas Gift Ideas


There's only another two weeks to go before Christmas arrives , and some of us still need to find that special something for someone. Shopping in the stores at this time of year is expected, and the merchants lay in wait like thieves preying on your generosity and vulnerability. I say, stay away! Go there, after the holidays and you'll have a better experience for sure. With that in mind, here are a few suggestions that might be of interest to you. These suggestions are all really great ideas that leave lasting memories. Lasting memories, is giving the gift of love that everyone can appreciate, and sharing in moments of togetherness.
1.A Nice Christmas Card...with CASH!


2.Property.

Nothing says I Love You more than a wad of CASH! On the other hand, maybe you want to impress someone in another way. Besides good 'ol cash and really expensive high end luxury items, you can procure for yourself or someone else an Extraterrestrial Passport and Nationality for only $14.99 Yep-It's real!

You can also choose to purchase an acre of land either on the Moon or Mars and there are other choices as well. Prices vary, but they are from $29.99-$39.99 and again, it's real, it even comes with a property deed. You can't beat that, The next best thing to cash, just might, be property, and as it's not yet a settled habitat, all acres are prime.

You can find out more here.


3.Tickets To Shows.

Somewhere nearby there is a performance or show that you could buy advance tickets for. Since most people like to go out and participate in the festive season, giving tickets to a concert, play, or even a movie is a really good idea. It's also a way to engage with others if you should buy tickets for yourself, you're really encouraging someone you care about to, brave the cold, and go out and do something other than watching Jimmy Stewart again...EEKS!

4.Gift Cards and Gift Certificates.

After the mad frenzy of shredding Christmas gift wrapping paper, you'll want to rest for a while. As the disappointment sets in, because you didn't get what you really wanted, you can then do what you wanted to do all along, go shopping!

Restaurant gift certificates are great, but maybe even better would be to get gift cards to several shops or online merchants. Women are not enthused about a gift card from Walmart! You need to be more thoughtful and go to the Malls and get cards from multiple places. Women are not like men, they like shopping everywhere, when a man is more content to do all his shopping in one place.

5.Personalized Photo Gifts.
This is a really good idea because you can personalize so many things. You can really be creative if you like, by cropping/combining photos of your loved ones with famous peoples photos from the internet and add your personal touch with some special wording.

The best places for these gifts are on the internet, but in a pinch, you can also visit Costco, CVS, Walgreen's, and of course your nearby Walmart. These places all have their own Photo Centers and these gifts are unique and special.

T'is the season to be a big spender, so don't be stingy. Cheap never impresses anyone, so as you go for broke, keep in mind some gifts are NOT good ideas. Don't buy Dad a necktie, socks, etc. Don't buy Mom household items...that's really a BAD idea. And definitely don't buy kids or younger people anything predictable. Here's wishing you holiday success and happiness.



Please forward this post to anyone you know that is in need of holiday shopping ideas.

 Be happy, be blessed, and may your Holidays be the best!

All Lives Matter - Kathleen McCartney - Smith College Students are Assholes!

College President Kathleen McCartney says she's sorry for saying “All lives matter.”


Kathleen McCartney The President of Smith College says she is sorry for writing "all lives matter" in an email she sent out. Her juvenile minded protege were outraged over her choice of words. They don't emphasize the racist thinking that prevails and many wrote back angry emails that showcase the lower level of intellect that is being cultivated in this school. Sad!

Apparently she wrote the phrase in the subject line of an e-mail she sent to students at the school. McCartney reiterated that she was attempting to show support for students protesting the grand jury decisions, where police officers were not charged in the deaths of unarmed black men.

With the cases of Michael Brown and Eric Garner in particular, the internet has been on fire with the phrase/hashtag "Black Lives Matter." McCartney's kinder interpretation of the phrase that read “All Lives Matter” offended those who wish to keep a focus on racism, claiming that her wording diminished the focus on the victimized black lives. This kind of rationale is disturbing to say the least.
“We are united in our insistence that all lives matter,” is what she wrote in the email that has created a racist frenzy. The rest seems to have been conveniently overlooked...she went on to say that she supported the protests by adding, the grand jury decisions...“led to a shared fury… We gather in vigil, we raise our voices in protest.”

It seems like a nice person can't write nice things to others privately anymore. The phrase “black lives matter” is itself racist and her wording was simply a nicer touch. The uproar over choice of words is an example of profound misunderstanding that is coming from the college level thinking that should be better than that. Claiming that she was invalidating the experience of black lives, by using a kinder phrase is bullshit!

Sadly Kathleen McCartney felt the need to apologize and did so in another email, stating that she had made a mistake “despite my best intentions.”

The real problem is not what she wrote, but how stupid people choose to interpret her message. Hashtags/phrases don't always refer to the same thing, anyone can use the trending topics to attach anything that they want to it, just to draw more attention. Even idiots know this!

Summing up this news item of no significance, it is becoming more and more difficult to be politically correct. All I can say is this, it's a sad day when a nice person has to apologize for writing something nice.


Political Correctness is Out of Control!
