I have zero credibility!
Over the course of the last few days, the investigative team at PutnamLIES.com has accused me of using other people's images. So I changed the one I stole.
But check this one out on my Hot Shots section.
Another Halburn Copyright ViolationThis image belongs to Bernard Zee
Mr. Zee writes: "I did not give them permission to use it (I would have, if they asked). At least they credited me indirectly in the filename of the image."
Hot Shots is a reader submitted section. Read the disclaimer.
It just says the submitter allows me to publish the picture without compensation. It doesn't say they had to actually have taken the picture.
I don't need permission anyway. I'M MARK HALBURN, GODDAMMIT!!!
So then I decided I'd go back and poke around the archives.
Guess what I found:
A bunch of images that appear on other peoples' sites.
Here are a few:
The Indian that designed this one probably wears Chinese shoes.
Nobody around here even watches WFRV. Who's going to know?
I hope this guy doesn't come after me. He's got a gun.
USA TODAY? Are they still in business?These are only a few of the swiped images. There are a bunch more. I guess I'll have to go and change them and claim they never existed. Or maybe I'll claim that they stole them from me.
Anyway, I stick by my defense that this is a dead but sensational issue in a continued campaign to smear me.
Maybe I used to have a subscription to something or other. I can't really remember. The voices in my head are too loud.

Please don't stop! Reading this stuff is as much fun as blowing my General Lee horn while passing Manatee's house at 3AM !!!
ReplyDeleteLet me repeat the fact thatr you want to ignore: I used to subscribe to an image servfice. Your attacks on me continue your unprecedented EPIC FAIL!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the hard hitting journalism of putnamlies.com!

ReplyDeleteEven image services at least run it by the photographer before stealing it.
Halburn, you just got F'd in the A.
ReplyDeleteProviding you information has never done any good. All you do is deny, attack, and attack more. I've sent GOW info that proves things (including a scan of a $400 check) and she has failed to publish the info. Who I do business with is none of your business with. I am within the terms of my graphics/image contract. That's all you need to know. Again, I am honored that you spend so much time obsessing with me and my site. Obviously I am your highest priority in your life.
ReplyDeleteOn vacation in the DC area or just doing a little stalking, Hallburn?
ReplyDeleteWorking on a future article....
ReplyDeleteI submitted Sigalert Marketing.
ReplyDeleteNow, identify yourself and I will consider submitting the graphics company.
Well, in light of this news, I've sent pictures to my office's security department.
ReplyDeleteYou are NOT within terms of the copyright of Bernard Zee, the talented photographer who you have STOLEN the work of. I think it's about time for that email exchange to be posted, in it's entirety?
ReplyDeleteYou know the good thing about mug shots?
ReplyDeleteYou can print them out and distribute them.
Then you can be famous.
Take a good look around when you go out, fatboy. You won't see anybody but they'll see you.
LOL, like anyone is going to believe Mark is spending more money to travel to DC fo a story for his blog than he makes from it.
ReplyDeleteOh he is going to do a story on how he was falsely arrested for stalking and harassment.
ReplyDeleteNo, I'd guess it's pretty clear why Mark went to DC.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for the archives of Tylers show where he talks about how mad GOW makes him. He can state that anyone from the 50 peopel living in his house posted on her blog but he can not deny is own words on talk radio.
ReplyDeleteIt willbe clear when the story is published. Look in our travel section at a later date. And who says I am paying for everything? The National Zoo is free. The Smithsonian is free. Touring the Capitol is free... Which makes a D.C. trip an affordable family weekend... The subject of a future article.
ReplyDeleteSigalert Marketing is real. I met with them in their office in Los Angeles. I have the canceled check. End of story. YOU are in DENIAL!
A stay at Wallens Ridge State Prison is free as well.
ReplyDeleteThere is that whole ass sex thing though.
Enjoy your stay, lardass.
We'll be watching you.
Getting there is not free, staying there is not free. As a matter of fact, even the crappiest of hotel rooms is around 200 bucks a night. Taking more time off being a bell hop are we or did we get fired, again?
ReplyDeleteStill not buying the fact that you are in DC to write a story for your blog, that people only want to read to laugh at you.
This is Halburn's MO.
ReplyDeleteHe takes a trip, ostensibly on business, and then visits tourist destinations.
Stays in a comped motel room since he's a bellboy.
He then writes off the trip as a business tax deduction.
Only he never publishes the story. Where's that story on Jacksonville?
The IRS doesn't look kindly on that sort of thing.
I wonder if they have a tip line?
I am sure somebody knows somebody that knows somebody at the IRS.
ReplyDeleteTax evasion, nice, isnt that how they brought down Al Capone? Not that I am compairing Halburn to Al Capone, cause lets face it, atleast Al Capone was successful at one point.
Wait... this from the man who is all up Debra Girimont's ass and thinks that everyone should just plan a staycation and vacation at home to increase hometown revenue... Shame on you, Halburn.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Sigalert Marketing , in mathematical form
Mark Halburn + Delusional + Being Called Out for Keyword Stuffing = Sigalert Marketing
The real life equation
Does Not Exist x Delusions = Sigalert Marketing is not real.
Not a damn trace of "SigAlert Marketing" on the internet... considering YOU say that the keywords have been there for several years, I find this hard as hell to believe. If a company is not online, not searchable on any business directories, or phone books, BBB, and is in California, while you're writing a blog about WEST VIRGINIA... how, prey tell, did you ever even come in contact with them?
Psycho abilities?
Wait... I forgot... in your alternate universe where you are always right, it is real. To the rest of us, living in the real world... it's just another Halburn delusion.
The burden of proof is on you, chump.

ReplyDeleteEvery time I have been audited I have been cleared. I am VERY careful about proper deductions.
ReplyDeleteGet ready to get audited again.
ReplyDeleteMark? I'm still watching you. I'm still your dragon. I know you are alone. Go home.
ReplyDeleteSo someone that stole the name Leonard Bernstein is falsely accusing me of stealing photos. NICE! Amd I purposely deduct less than the law allows in order to stay out of trouble with the IRS.
ReplyDeleteSomeone that stole the name Mark Hallburn is complaining about someone else using a nom de plume. (That's a pen name to you, no nuts.) That's rich.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing false about the accusation, buttplug.
And it's not only Lenny that's saying it.
The PHOTOGRAPHER confirms that you're a thief.
You STOLE the image. You do not have permission to display it.
"You aren't the press, people think you're a nut."
Stick to the topic Halbrun.
ReplyDeleteAddress the issue or piss off.
Also - there's no false accusation. You stole the image. The photographer emailed me that, no, you did not have permission to publish it.
ReplyDeleteThe image was submitted by a reader. And the photographer has given me permission to publish the photo. When did Leonard Bernstein give YOU permission to use HIS name?
ReplyDeletePermission?
ReplyDeleteProve it?
Let's see the permission.
Are you going to replace the photo with the one with the copyright notice?
You're still a piece of shit that had to be forced to comply.
Again, Mark Halburn, the 227th most popular name is Leonard. The 1834th most popular surname is Bernstein.
ReplyDeleteThere are at least 19 people with the very same name as me. You can't handle that I share a name with a very famous person, can you?
Tax evasion? This guy avoids paying for all kinds of things. Hotel rooms. Cartoons. Admission to the county fair. Proper property taxes. Hell, he doesn't even pay for his own home. He lets his wife and mother-in-law do that for him. It wouldn't surprise me if he's making illegal business tax deductions.
ReplyDeleteWhen are you going to replace the stolen photo with the one with the copyright notice?
ReplyDeleteThief.
