Help me find an old post September 12, 2007 12:08 PM Subscribe
Can anyone help me find a post that I'm sure I saw (and perhaps I even posted myself) here on Metafilter a while back with a commercial done by a regional county sherrif's office encouraging the viewer to narc on their significant others?
The commercial featured three women talking on the couch in their living room as their hoodlum boyfriends went out to commit some larcenies, and one of them mentions the bounty that will be theirs if they only turn in their nogoodnik menfolk via the anonymous tip line. The end of the spot shows them all drinking margaritas poolside, enjoying the good life. Sorry if this is an innappopriate place for this question, if it's any consolation I can threaten to leave forever if you want.

Can you threaten to leave forever while I go look for it, just to kill some time?

Okay folks, the reason I clearly can't remember when I post things is that, as several of you have guessed, there are multiple people running the Jonson account. The "Start Snitchin'" post was posted by Agent Thunderbuns, who has full control of the Jonson account on Saturdays (April 28th being a Saturday). Today is Wednesday, and I am the one running the Jonson today. I appreciate your help, and go back about your business.

Dave Faris, you have picked the wrong time to snark at me. Mathowie has told me by private communication that when I reach 4,000 favorites (currently 94 away from that mark) I can turn them in and in exchange I can have one member of the site permanently banned by IP address. You have approximately seven days to apologize, depending on the popularity of the links the other jonsons find at random and post. Enjoy your last week on Metafilter!!

I don't own a Gucci handbag, real or otherwise, but other than that- favorites aren't "real". There is no inherent value in them. We've turned them into a popularity contest, when in reality, they mean nothing- I "got" 4600 of them for doing nothing at all, which is a great reminder of how worthless they are.

I can only think you favorited it to show that you had a sense of humor about yourself, and then eventually your got upset at all the people hating on you in this thread & you unfavorited it, much like you once added me as a contact & then later removed me as a contact.

No, actually. He makes some entirely decent posts—enough so and with famous enough thought and consideration that having a jab at jonson about posting habits seems really kind of weird—and contributes good, thoughtful comments to threads in the blue and the grey both. The jerky stuff just kind of stands out, I think, because he's really good at it and because people have noticed it and seem to expect it from him kind of by default. I don't really get it, but that's metafilter for you.
