    The Sarah Phillips Saga

    Well, some weird stuff going on with Sarah Phillips, the (now ex) ESPN blog chick who has a ton of Twitter fame.

    Corruption, possible identity malfeasance, criminal stuff, and just all around WEIRDNESS.

    Re: The Sarah Phillips Saga

    Even if I didn't know anything about this story, I'd "like" this purely for the usage of "malfeasance"






    but seriously, I can't wait to see what comes of this story

      The gist of it is that she (if she really is her as no one, including ESPN, has never actually met her really) and some guy named Nilesh (going by Nick) Prasad scammed the hell out of the creator of this page: http://www.facebook.com/NBAMemes and a few other people out of money and ideas such as said page. Like I said, it's long but it is very interesting.

      Yeah that story is crazy and definitely worth the read despite the length of it. Deadspin puts in their work when it comes to things like this.

      Definitely the last thing I expected to wake up to today. Totally came out of left-field.

      What if I miss her going suicidal on Twitter?!

      That Phillips story is absolutely mind blowing. The video was down when I looked at it, says the account was taken down.

      On another note, I'm done with school for the semester. Took my last test this afternoon and finished an assignment for my media literacy class over Nike and consumerism, and in a bit of shameful self-promotion, I shall post it here. Ya'll should watch it and tell me what you think.

We don't know what her real name or purpose is. Her and the people she was associted to threatened people, manipulated people.

      It's pretty much a movie.

      They say they have more they're releasing tomorrow...


      Here's some other strange stuff. It seems "Sarah" is stealing/buying/borrowing these twitter handles for "her" gain.

      Hopefully they go away.

      As am I, but I was totally unaware of this whole mess until I saw a thing from the moderater thanking the MLB meme page for helping him get it back. I think I even liked the Sports Comedy Network page unwittingly, simply because I didn't know what it was.

Now someone is circumventing my blocking of their likes by sharing the photos. Facebook needs more blocks without completely deleting the person.

            Apparently she was going to take the @FauxJohnMadden and @_Happy_Gilmore accounts as well with the same trick. Wonder what she does now?

              "OhWonka" was also promoting a brand new account a few days ago with the username "AnnoyingWhore", which would tweet dumb and annoying things chicks say.

              She was probably involved in that one too I bet.

                That's not all she was after. Wonder if and how much cash she was making off these things. Also I've learned that people on the internet are still gullible if you are somewhat known in the world.
                The Sarah Phillips story fascinated me.  I’ve never before seen anything like it.  Tuesday, Deadspin broke a story that ESPN’s young columnist may be behind several internet scams amidst other incredibly mysterious activity.  Almost immediately, ESPN terminated its relationship with the columnist that rose from message boards on a gambling site to writing for the Read more...


                What a strange tale.

                              I'm not exactly sure how advertising works on Twitter, but from what she was doing with Facebook she was making money from the ad space on her facebook pages to generate money.
