Halburn took a 6 day vacation last August and went to the Hillbilly Riveria, Myrtle Beach SC. He claims to have only spent 2 days there.
He also claimed to have gone to Jacksonville Florida, which PutnamEYES.com is calling bullshit on right now.
This was at the same time he was emailing girlofwords from a Best Buy in Myrtle Beach posing as Rich Chrampanis.
On Saturday August 15 he wrote:
"I was in Jacksonville, Florida, shooting photos for an upcoming travel feature. You will see it someday in our Your Travel section."
Jacksonville is a 6 1/2 hour drive from Myrtle Beach. Who takes a day trip that takes 6 1/2 hours one way while on vacation?
What kind of a "man" abandons his family to go "take photos" for a blog article?
Well, someday came in December in the "Your Travel - Jacksonville, Florida" section. And we see it all right. We see an article of less than 500 words that took 4 months to write. We also see a lot of nice photos.
Unfortunately for you Halburn, YOU TOOK NONE OF THEM. NOT ONE. Every single photo is stolen. YOU stole all of them.
When Halburn writes:
"Historians report that Don Pedro Menéndez de Avilés first came ashore in what is now known as St. Augustine on September 8th, 1565. Aviles and his expedition celebrated Mass. Though they didn't know it then, their worship started the first permanently settled city and its first Catholic parish in the United States.
Throughout the years of political turnover, the parish church was burned to the ground several times. However, in 1797, a new parish church was constructed on the corner of St. George and Treasury streets facing the plaza – where it stands today."
it was plagiarized verbatim (that means word for word, Halburn) from:
That's 25% of the entire article.
Even the picture of the Basilica is stolen. SHAME!
You're going straight to hell, fatboy.
You're going straight to hell, fatboy.
You're not kidding anybody, shitheel. You went to Google and got found some Jacksonville pictures and then went to the sites and stole them.
Like these from Adventure Landing, which, by the way, is in Jacksonville Beach not Jacksonville. You would have known that had you actually gone there.
Once again proving that even so-called "original" material on your site cannot be trusted.
Why any advertiser would want to be associated with this type of behavior is a mystery.

You're a hack and a thief and you're not very good at either.
And it's obvious that these accusations are correct since you have no response to them. Your silence speaks volumes.
But, as the old saying goes, Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
UPDATE:
Halburn continues to lie in his latest slobber filled rant:
"...falsely accusing me of writing a less than 500 word travel article about Jacksonville. They can't count. The article is well over 500 words, and the photos that they claim were stolen were used by permission. But the blog does use the word "Lies" in its name, so at least it is correct about its constant attacks and lack of truthfulness."
Well over 500 words? Maybe now.
Because after we published the above article exposing his latest plagiarism, he changed the article.
Glad to see though that you agree that the lies we are writing about are yours.

Here's the original. Cached on January 3, 2010.
Don't just take our word for it. Look for yourself. Copy the text. Paste it into your word processor. Do a word count.
You'll find, as we did, 461 words.

Once again lard lad, you have proven yourself to be a unethical, dishonest piece of shit.
UPDATE 1/19:
The original photographer confirms Halburn stole the Adventure Landing photos.
Great work Mike on once again exposing Putnamblob! The beat just goes on and on doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteThis is even more egregious than the D.C. article, which was as far from written by an acutal tourist as I've ever seen. Guess there wasn't much time for actual tourism in between obsessive stalking, was there?
ReplyDeleteI think I'm gonna visit Troy Sexton's wife and "console" her...right in the VAGINA!
ReplyDeleteThanks also Mike for the Walgreen's update, unlink Putnamblob nothing on his "blog" at all...
ReplyDeleteOnly update he has is regarding Mayor Edwards going to buy Walmart neighbors trees?!? What a waste of time... pitiful.
Also has an updated "Enduring Wally" where he admits to Putnam County recognizing his property as "residential", yet HE refuses to list it as such... can't have it both ways there Mark-o...
ReplyDeleteTwo things: Beefy has updated his blog to call into question the validity of this article, and he's pegging it on "It was more than 500 words."
ReplyDeleteSecond: Mark needs to stop using the phrase "epic fail" incorrectly, because he looks like a retard when he uses it.
He just needs to run for election and put up or shut up! PCPB for sure... Putnam County Putnam Blob!
ReplyDeleteMost folks think a 500 word article is just about right for a 6th grade student. The publisher mentally fits right in with that age group.
ReplyDeleteFrom his own rantings: "...Still no sign of Scott Edward's promised trees..."
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of moron thinks you plant trees in January when the ground is frozen and snow covered?
The trees were front page headline material for the Blobster's blog also! No other news worthy events to cut/paste that day...maybe the Blobster was visiting AttaboyTroy and busy.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the hard work Mike!
Wanted to point out another sports headline from Putnamblob's blog:
ReplyDelete"WINFIELD GENERALS DESTROY RIPLEY"
Now... when you think of this, and it is basketball season, what would you imagine a point spread would be if Winfield were to "destroy" Ripley? Anyone?
7 point victory for Winfield....
...and it's exactly what we all call it. A B.L.O.G...it's full of opinions...not facts. He's a big fat baby pretending to be a journalist. Want an example of a REAL journalist with a REAL press pass? Jacque Jo Bland aka Girl of Words.
ReplyDeleteHey fatty, if I don't have to work the 27th of this month, I'm going to be front and center for the Trial of the Century! I'm going to shove something in your face (no, not THAT, don't get excited...you have your (B)utt (F)ucking (F)riend Troy for that) and get an exclusive post-trial interview with you, complete with pictures! If I can't do it, someone else will...afterwards I'm celebrating by having a 3-way with your wife and Troy's wife. Loose women and fake journalism go together like sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll!
Yet... nothing about Walgreen's opening later this month, nothing about the new water park in the city of Hurricane, nothing about completion dates for Winfield's 3 lane expansion, nothing about new business opening in Poca, nothing about Target being a potential tennant for the site next to Home Depot... oh, wait... that'd be NEWS, not opinion or hate filled sewage coming from Mark-o...
ReplyDeleteWe'll get sex offenders, plagerized BBB "articles" about a city 12 hours from here, and name calling of politicians...
News site- information based on FACTS
Blog- opinion based on laziness and ignorance
He's got the same Walgreens article we linked to 2 days before he did.
ReplyDeleteExcept he has to make the headline about Ben Newhouse.
NEWS/BLOG ALERT: The Blobster does have something blobworthy about a free taco at Taco Bell...great job Blob! Many thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou can bet he's got it.
ReplyDeleteIt involves two of his favorite things: free stuff and food. Free food makes it double plus good for him.
Lee talked about this Taco Bell thing the other day at Cryptic Bullshit.
So, he got the idea from me? Maybe I should sue him.
ReplyDeleteIt's how he gets all his story ideas.
ReplyDeleteWe put up the links to the Walgreen and the Putnam Nursing program stories way before he did.
He sees them here and next thing you know they're there.
Looks like the Blobster is making his rounds and packing his "press" pass and handy Sure Shot Camera for free meals at the local show choir performances... wonder if he went to all three performances at Hurricane just to ensure adequate "news" coverage?
ReplyDeleteThere's a fucking shocker. Halburn is so hard-up (literally) for attention, he steals from blogs and calls it news. He's been doing this for the longest time from GoW... take a look at his "Wild, Wacky" stuff... My favourite of the Wild, Wacky Wonderful is the story about a kid with cancer. Cancer kids are just great, don't you think? Being sentenced to death a such a young age! Just warms your heart...
ReplyDeleteOr gets your microdick hard... as is the case of Halburn. He gets off on sick kids. Why else do you think he'd be begging for a free CRT TV for his kid's room? So the TV can be dragged off a dresser and maim the kid so he can look all contrite and claim he didn't know, all the while jacking off into a sock.
Or suing the person that gave him the TV.
ReplyDeletePutnamblob's blog of Winfield vs. Ripley now shows:
ReplyDelete"Winfield Generals Rollover Ripley Vikings"
Amazing.
I wonder where Putnamblob got his quote on Natalie Tennant in the blog article of Arthur running for election to county commission? It won't take long to find that....
ReplyDeleteI actually took the photos of Adventure Landing - you can see the orginals on my site here:

Nice to see some outrage over content theft...
It's common practice for him.
ReplyDeleteHe says he has your permission to use them. Does he?
Why not send him a takedown notice?
