I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house down …
I was sitting on my office balcony one pleasant evening last week, smokin’ a dooby, watching the sunset over Vancouver … when a panicked employee burst through the door with a pale and twisted expression on his face: ‘Mr. Temple, you’re in the New York Times. You’re getting SUED BY CRAIGSLIST!’
Oh no, I thought. This could be bad. REAL BAD. I might have to move my servers … and that could eat up a whopping ten minutes of my day. I called for some more ganja.
First Marc Emery, and now me. The-Times-They-Are-A-Changin.
So Craigslist wants to drag my black ass into an American courtroom for crimes against humanity … or at least, crimes against Craigslist.
What are these gross violations of human rights that led Craig Newmark to want me in the gallows? According to the lawsuit: Fraud, Personation, Copyrights Infringement, Violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, computer Intrusion, and other combinations of the word ‘computer’ + ‘any crime you can think of’.
Funny thing is, I’ve never even posted an ad on Craigslist. I don’t use the site. It’s full of spam!
Could it be that Mr. Newmark blames me for all that spam, even though I’ve never posted an ad?
C’mon Craig … I ain’t misbehavin’ … ain’t misbehavin’ …
Newmark is an old white dude. I’m a young black man. You know how the story goes. I make an easy target for all those old white farts in the American courts, the robber-baron CEOs who scam their own companies out of millions and need a scapegoat … and it’s always the black man who takes the fall.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Blame it on the black man. Eddie the African – he’s the bad guy. He’s the one posting all that spam. Fuck the courts, eh .. let’s string young Eddie up with a rope and get the job done like they did back in the day …
Here’s the deal, folks. I’m getting serious now. Eddie Temple Promotions LTD is a UK Company. We have offices all over the world – Wellington New Zealand, Vancouver Canada, London England. Big companies get sued all the time; Microsoft, Ebay, AOL, even Craigslist itself. I’ve explained this to my employees and now I’ll explain it to you: Eddie Temple isn’t going anywhere.
Craig Newmark can huff – and puff – but he will NEVER blow my house down.
[I'm being sued over my work-at-home program CraigsPimp.com, which thousands of people around the world use to make an extra $250-$500/day posting ads on Craigslist.

Newmark vs. Eddie ... battle of titans!

So, you say you have never used craigspimp? what about the hundreds of people who did FOR YOU? Just let them take the fall? I hope you realize that you just insulted quite a bit of the people who post for you, we are Americans, and many of us HATE the race card. Who gives a shit if you are black, white, brown, yellow, you did something wrong, own up to it.
that should say “never used craigslist”
I don’t follow your logic, sorry.
well you do spam craigslist buddy, you spam emails which ouch is actually a crime, and you don’t even cover your tracks and use whois guard on your spam domains such as CraigslistPickupSecrets.com to foward right to the affiliate link to all track you down.
lol I was surprised to google your name and find an “internet marketing blog” when you spam emails you harvest from craigslist
Pretty shitty website for someone with so much money.
He didn’t look like a cowboy in a continental suit
Sounds like I need to take some lessons from you. I must be doing this all wrong!
Eddie, great site!
Stay strong Eddie! I see that your affiliate aren’t making a lot of money lately. The top person only made $160 last week. I remember the days when they big dogs were making $2–$4,000/ week. Don’t worry homie because I’m about to start sending 10,000 leads to you everyday… I know I would make more money elsewhere, but I just want to see my name on the leaderboard… Humpty style…
do it up brother! and contact me directly at TheMatrixFactor@gmail.com, I’ll make sure you’re taken good care of
Hey, I pimped 4 you and yes you did pay and yes you
do give work to many IM’s and yes you will win this battle
with this sorry ass CL..With the amount of sign-ups and paid
members we get daily from posting in CL, I dont see it as Spam,
I see it as doing these horn dawgs a favor. By simply directing
these fools to my date site they join like crazy, then CL cries spam..Fu*k CL..As long as these MutherFu**s keep signing up,
Pimps will always Pimp..:)
Good Luck Pimp .
thanks for the support my friend
Yea right…. Like I want to spend hours driving traffic to your site so I can make $100…
Get real people… Eddie is a scammer… He is only interested in your money and fuck everything else….
And if you think you are safe, remember Napster… All those kids downloading music and snubbing the nose at the law….
Well they didn’t think it was so funny when the law came knocking on the door and they owed THOUSANDS…
Eddie is being sued right NOW…. And Cragslist has a good case… So all you piss ants that are thinking this is a good way to go, just keep working for this dirt bag and when the law shows up have your checkbook handy… Or the title to your car.

A very interesting blog post. What would you say was the most common problem?
I like your blog, you’ve posted some interesting articles. I’m always on the look out for new or unusual news stories. Please contact me via my IM Newsdesk blog (http://IMNeswdesk.com) if you come across something news worthy. Thanks.
Hello, I found your blog in a new directory of blogs. I don’t know how your blog came up, must have been a typo, Your blog looks good. Have a nice day. keep the content coming…
http://www.eddietemple.com is very informative. The article is very professionally written. I enjoy reading http://www.eddietemple.com every day.
Sounds to me like you really know what you are talking about here for sure.
I keep read sites that talk about becoming financially free or making an extra income, and seeing your information is encouraging, because it is not so easy as they say it is..
Eddie, I must say, you have gigantic balls. I just about died laughing while reading this post. Craig is a fucking twit and needs to go suck a cows asshole. I hear cows assholes can be pretty sloppy. Plop Plop Plop.
Seriously, it’s because your black. HAHAHA….that might be a possibility except you were one of 10 people sued and the other 9 are white. If you look it’s 10 lawsuits a year, every year….your # just came up buddy. Probably because you don’t cover your tracks at all which made you an easy target.
It would be nice if someone actually fought the merits of these cases with Craigslist….actually thought you might be one of them who would. But I guess you are gonna use the race card instead….SAD.
