robbalvey Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) LMAO! From the savethebigdipper.org site: We have been made aware that there is a scam website being operated by someone who for some reason has decided to take it upon himself to try to trash this campaign. Please be aware that SavetheBigDipper.com IS NOT associated with the official Save the Big Dipper project nor is it condoned nor supported by the owners of the Big Dipper. There is also a scam Facebook page. We currently do not have a presence on Facebook. Again, SavetheBigDipper.com is not associated with this site. Can someone please tell them this is a "parody" and not a "scam!" Not like they would probably understand the difference! Apparently they haven't looked at the site and seen the note at the very bottom! --Robb "Wait until they find out there's a Twitter, too!"

Sir Clinksalot Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 ^ Eh, they will probably loosen up when they get their free Cialis. I see that the actual site has a whole $120 in donations. I think the "scam" site can get more than that just with the awesomeness that is animated cats and Jon Hamm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirouettes907 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I don't know what's funnier, the Save the Big Dipper site(s) or this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) I think this section of the site needs to be renamed "Theme Parks, Roller Coasters & Savethebigdipper.com Edited October 6, 2010 by Sir Clinksalot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightbeawannabe Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) ^^Though call, there. I would go with savethebigdipper.com. ^It will happen overnight. I'm putting money on it. Edited October 6, 2010 by mightbeawannabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Of Spades Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Oi, has this gone over the top. >< Honestly, this would've been funnier if it had gone up after the project totally died down. Now it's just confusing, and all the commotion in regards to their failure is going way past where it ever needed to go. Seriously, can't we just keep the mocking to a not-childish-esque level? Take my sig for example: subtle, and that can often be the best form of mockery anyway. And before you all say "Where's your sense of humor? Didn't read the TOS?!?!?!", I get the joke, I just don't find it all that funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not For Sale Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 ^Ah, yes, subtlety. Just like Scarface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astroworldfan1 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Oi, has this gone over the top. >< Take my sig for example: subtle, and that can often be the best form of mockery anyway. If you would have never mentioned anything of your signature, I would have never looked at it. So, I guess it's too subtle. A company shouldn't, at all, be upset over parody sites..Their outrageous plans are why savethebigdipper.com exists today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightbeawannabe Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Company? These are just two normal people. No more nor less than Robb and Elissa. R&E might have a short rant about a parody site, too. Does a TPR parody site exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, when you think about it, I'll bet Theme Park Review has given their organization more exposure than I'm sure they are willing to give us credit for!

Capitalize Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I mean how long do you need to piss in someone's cheerios to ruin their breakfast? Instead of writing such patronizing words, can't you just donate to Price Desmond's effort? Only if he follows up with even more awesome animated .gif's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astroworldfan1 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 What the savethebigdipper.com really needs is a page dedicated to the history of the Big Dipper roller coaster, but not that of Geauga Lake's Big Dipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightbeawannabe Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Wait...is TPR actually a parody? Because it seems too well done to be a true parody. (Yes Robb, that's a compliment.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
let1gre Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 ^You can't spell "coaster" without "shenanigans". The "henanigans" is silent. Why couldn't they have impulse bought Big Bad Wolf instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Of Spades Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 @Robb, Thanks for respecting my opinion... I'm generally a pretty fun person, and I've learned to deal with people making fun of me or my thoughts, but really? Just mocking up FAIL pictures against people advocating an ounce of sanity? What did you call me again? Oh yeah, lame. Oi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 ^ You're 16 years old. According to the Today show you should be out banging chicks. What are you doing here bitching about Price Desmond? FAIL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
