Would your morals let you steal from a man with Cancer? I have Cancer and I’ve been ripped off by a media company called CRTV. Radio and Comedy have always been a love of mine. I’ve been doing a show called “Hey Get Off My Lawn” for about 10 years and even did the copyright thing with it. Some very talented people have given many hours to help with our show.
CRTV, under the direction of Gaston Mooney, have stolen the name “Get Off My Lawn” with Host and Creator Gavin McInnes, saying that I didn’t trademark it, so it name is fair game. They skated just with in the law to steal the name legally.
I really don’t want the name I’ve built up, to be associated with this talentless, morally corrupt CRTV show. If this sounds like I’m whining, ok maybe a bit but this is, more or less, my last kick at the radio can.
Ones actions are dictated by morals, so by stealing the Lawn name Gaston Mooney, CRTV and Gavin McInnes are showing everyone and even their own children, that it’s ok to steal from a man with Cancer. They even have gone as far as to charge subscription rate of 10 dollars a month for a severally shoddy product with the production values that a pre-schooler could come up with. Now they are profiting from their “morals”.
Can’t you hear them…”We didn’t know he had Cancer!” Well boys, if you’d done a little bit of research you would have found articles about it and my show. I can only extrapolate that if you didn’t do that research, the research you do for your shows on CRTV is about the same. And you feel ok taking peoples hard earned money for the crap you put out.
So, I’ve got Cancer. Don’t feel sorry for me. Feel sorry that Gaston Mooney and Gavin McInnes are passing their morals on to their own innocent children. Feel sorry for the kids. Better yet, don’t pay these guys anything. Give a bit to Cancer Research.
If you’d like to contact CRTV, Here’s Gaston’s email gmooney@crtv.com If you want to contact Gavin McInnes, well he’s hiding, no email… but on Twitter send him a note @Gavin_McInnes This is completely my own opinion. Bryan Cox
There’s trouble looming on The Lawn. “Hey, Get Off My Lawn” has been my radio show for the last 10 years or so. It was so amazing how NBC ABC CBS FOX CNN and more, offered interviews with all their major stars. I felt so honoured. I even went as far as to copyright the show. Ah, not far enough.
Now, there is a group called CRTV (Gaston Mooney) and Gavin McInnes that feel it’s ok to use the name, “Get Off My Lawn”. I contacted them stating that I spent 10 years and many many unpaid hours building up that name and asked them to stop using it. They told me that “copyright” did not cover the name and I should have taken out a trademark. For my part..lesson learned the hard way. I shot myself in the foot.
If the law say’s it’s ok does that necessarily make it… right? There is a human side to this whole thing. Let’s say that Gaston Mooney and Gavin McInnes were working in Germany during WWII. The law said “Turn in a Jewish Family and you’ll be rewarded.” You (CRTV) would turn in a Jewish family for your own personal gain. You wouldn’t think, that maybe, you’re ruining a persons life, a person’s livelihood and reputation. This is the human side of your actions. Oh, but the law said it was ok, so that must make it “right.”
For all of you with an Internet Property that you want to protect please look at Trademark vs Copyright. It doesn’t matter how many hours you put into it…Just Protect It. I don’t want to see you ripped off like I was. REMEMBER…There are some very unscrupulous people out there, that are ready to steal every idea you’ve put out.
In my opinion, that when CRTV’s Gaston and Gavin are in the slime bar that they drink in, they should go to the bathroom, each buy a condom and stretch it over their entire body. Because if you’re going to be a DICK, you should really dress like one.
I wish you both luck with the stolen show name Get Off My Lawn. From the original show, mine…Hey, CRTV..”Get The “FUCK” Off My Lawn!!!” If you’d like to leave a comment, I’d love it. If you’d like to send a comment to Gaston Mooney and Gavin McInnesgmooney@crtv.com
I like to find humour in all situations that might pop up, but not this. As I watched little children be evacuated from a Saskatoon School the other day because of“suspicious powder”, my heart sank. There have 5 such attacks on various institutions over the span of a week, including a Hospital Cancer Clinic. There is some sick piece of ****, you fill in the word there, that thinks pulling fake terror attacks is funny.
Here’s the school being evacuated
The Saskatoon Police have said on a tv report, that if the person is caught, he/she would be charged with “Mischief.” I contacted Saskatoon Police and they never returned my call. If you were to leave a bag of suspicious powder or a pipe with wires coming out of it, in the bathroom on an airplane, I’m pretty sure you’d would be charge with an act of terror and treated like a terrorist. Sure one is Municipal and the other is Federal. Does this say that the municipal law has to catch up to the Federal law in cases of terrorism? The Criminal Code is the Criminal Code. For clarification I contacted the Saskatchewan Government Justice Dept. Yup, you guessed it, no comment there either. When it comes to terror we all should be on the same page and that’s what Canada’s Criminal Code does…
“The definition of “terrorist activity” in section 83.01 of the Criminal Code has two components. The first component incorporates a series of offences enacted to implement international legal instruments against terrorism. The second, more general, stand-alone component, states that a “terrorist activity” is an act or omission undertaken “in whole or in part for a political, religious, or ideological purpose, objective or cause” that is intended to intimidate the public or compel a person, government or organization to do or refrain from doing any act, if the act or omission intentionally causes a specified serious harm. Specified harms include causing death or serious bodily harm, endangering life, causing a serious risk to health or safety, causing substantial property damage where it would also cause one of the above listed harms and, in certain circumstances, causing serious interference or disruption of an essential service, facility or system, whether public or private. No where does it mention “Mischief.”
The penalty is up to life in prison for terrorist activity. If and when the police catch the person or persons doing this, adult…prision! If it’s a kid, they should be charged with a terror offence. Maybe put on the No Fly list forever and be fined the cost of everything incurred. That would include each location staff salaries for the day, cost of police, fire, ambulance. If they are to young to pay, then their parents should pay.
Here’s the emergency response
I think we’ve gone way passed yelling fire in a crowded theatre. Pulling the odd fire alarm, like some of us might have done in school, is “Mischief”, but sending possibly deadly powder is a whole different ball game. They caused parents, little children, hospital staff and patients to be terrorized. Businesses, Schools and a Hospital to be disrupted. They also took emergency services away from people that might have really needed them. As it turned out every package was harmless.
My hat is off to the way the fire and police depts handled every situation. Very professional. So I leave it to you, in todays World, is sending a bag of powder to an institution a terror attack (fake or not) or mischief? To the cowardly piece of crap that sent the packages, be afraid very afraid, because you will be found and “Hey, Get Off My Lawn”!
Murphy’s Law (“If anything can go wrong, it will”) was born at Edwards Air Force Base in 1949 at North Base.
It was named after Capt. Edward A. Murphy, an engineer working on Air Force Projects.
After finding a transducer was wired wrong, he cursed the technician responsible and said, “If there is any way to do it wrong, he’ll find it.”
It’s been said about Murphy’s death, “One dark evening, Mr. Murphy’s car ran out of gas. As he hitchhiked to a gas station, while facing traffic and wearing white, he was struck from behind by a British tourist who was driving on the wrong side of the road.”
Nowadays we see that Murphy’s Law is still alive and well. Here are 10 quick examples for you.
–Fill the open tray bird feeder…It will snow or rain.
–At the intersection, the guy in front of you will alway turn his signal light on as the light turns green.
–The airport washroom automatic faucet will turn off way before your finished washing your hands.
–When sending an email, you will forget “send to all.”
–The quicker you need information from the internet, is directly correlated with password memory.
–Waiting for a meal at a restaurant, you know it will arrive, just as you go outside for a smoke or go to the washroom.
–Guys, when your wife asks you to do something, you will realize that you did it wrong and it will be pointed out that there are better ways of doing it.
–When you fill your tank, the price of gas will fall the next day.
–Your cat will have puked directly in your path, as you walk out of a dark room in bare feet.
–The day that 5 hookers send you friend requests on Facebook, you wife decides to check your page.
I’ve noticed on Reality TV shows that all the contestants have some kind of back story. Some don’t. Recently on “The Voice” there has been one contestant heart wrenching story followed by an even more wrenching story. Very few contestants don’t have them…SO if you’re going to appear, and want to be a winner, on any of these shows let me help you with your back story, using “The Voice” as an example.
“I’ve always loved to sing. My Dad, whose in prison and suffering from Cancer, told me that, just before he lost a leg because of a prison riot. I was raised by my uncle in Canada. He was the front man of a well known rock group. He encouraged me to sing. Then he got cancer and played that card to make millions on his final tour. I never knew my Mom because, when I was very little, she was on a fishing trip off the coast of Newfoundland in Canada, while visiting my uncle. She fell over board and was shredded by sharks. They found pieces of her all up and down the eastern seaboard. On his death bed my uncle gave me the money to get here. To honour my Mother, I’d like sing “Little Piece of My Heart”… by Janis Joplin”
The Medical Industry is in Bed with Soft Water Companies and Opthamologists
Trips and Falls
To keep medicine rocking they need business so the soft water folks are working with them to make tubs and showers super slippery. You know what I mean if you’ve ever showered in soft water. You end up doing some kind of weird Michael Jackson dance when trying to get out or in. Just how many people that fall and injure themselves, have soft water?
Plus, they say that you should listen to your favourite song in the shower. To save water, you should be finished when the song ends. With soft water, to get that real squeaky feel to your skin like with hard water, the song should be In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida or any entire Beethoven Symphony.
Another group that add to trips and falls, especially for older folks, are the optometrists and opthamologists. These Doctors prescribe Bi-Focals which are now called “progressive lenses”. If you don’t have them, let me explain, each lens is made up with two parts, when you look through the top half of the glass you see normally. When you look through the bottom half everything looks huge, which is good for reading. The question is, do folks wearing progressive lenses fall on stairs more because they are looking through the bottom half?
These stairs must look huge. I myself, offer them to my wife when I come to bed (Wink Wink)
Big Brother is Watching???
Where I live the phone company offers a lot. They offer a TV service with a ton of channels, Phone service, Internet and even home security. So if the police want to find you or find out about you, all they have to do is make one call …to the phone company. They’ll know if you’re home or not home, who you’re talking to, what TV shows you like and what kind of porn you like.
Your DNA is Under Attack
Recently I’ve noticed a huge advertising push for DNA. If the cops were to come up to you on the street and ask for your DNA, I’m pretty sure I’d know what you’d say. If a company advertises for your DNA with an offer that they’ll tell you where you came from and what diseases you “might” get, that’s just fine. All you have to do is send them a sample of your DNA and you pay them to do that. One commercial stands out. A lady says, a lot of my friends ask me, what am I? So she sends her DNA in and finds out she’s…asian, indian and whatever. Listen, if you’ve people are coming up to you and asking what you are…you need to find a better group of “friends”, girl.
Here it is, you send you’re DNA to a company you don’t know and they send you some pie chart of fluffy information back in the mail. What then, is your DNA kept on file for law enforcement agencies? Is it being used in experiments? Is your DNA being spliced with an alien life form that they captured years before? Oh, and they have them, you know that. I’ve also found out that those DNA kits don’t make the best baby shower gift!
This was just a little finger poking fun at some of the “theories” that are out there. So watch out for Fake News because this is the kind of stuff they grab on to.
Always question never accept!

Hey, Baby Boomer so you’re getting older and you don’t know what to expect. Try these on for size.
You know you’re getting old….when you can remember the day when you could pronounce all the NHL’s players names, Mahovlich was the hardest. (Canada)
When someone offers you a “joint” now you automatically think, ‘would that be a knee or hip?’
You order the super TV pack, just because it has the Weather Channel.
Back in the day, we remember yelling “Hey, Culligan Man”. Today we know why. He’s the only one that’ll come running when you slip in the tub.
Becoming a senior is great, because if you happen to end up in prison, you won’t be getting all those romantic looks from cellblock D.
Becoming a senior means you understand you really won’t be getting romantic looks from anyone.
Getting older means some bodily functions are like swallowing scrabble tiles. You know one good sneeze, could spell disaster.
When you and your buddies wanted to go to the Drive-In. The ones with no money always got in….in the trunk. You can remember when a “Race Issue” was arguing about who ran the fastest.
We finally understand why babies are so cantankerous … plastic and paper underwear.
The kids today love the movie”Frozen.” We lived it, always playing hockey on an outdoor rink no matter the temperature. (Canada and Alaska)
You end up having to wear Bi-Focals or the new term, Progressive Lenses. This is good guys, everything is so much larger when you look through the bottom half of the glasses. Just make your wife wear them to bed.
You remember how our sense of humour was formed around Grade One. OH, how our parents laughed, when you asked for a ride to school. “What are ya kid, some kind of comedian?”
Remembering that when you had a job, phoning in fake sick on the weekend was not an option. Your parents made you go to work. Hey, they’d even give you a ride. A ride to school NO WAY but ride to work…Oh, Hell Ya!
To the old and young never be afraid to speak out and up. The most important saying you need to know that can apply to so may people and so much in your life, is “Hey, Get Off My Lawn!”
You think that the Led Zeppelin cover band performing at the old folks home, should have sang “Stairlift to Heaven.” So to the seniors that are feeling shelved, it’s time to get up read a paper, watch the news, learn something new on the computer and most important of all, stay engaged with your surroundings with a sense of humour. Don’t let yesterday use up to much of today. To all the kids and grandkids, call you’re parents and tell them you’re thinking of them and you love them, while you still have the chance. Remember you always learn lessons from their past, which gives you the future, where you can apply them.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. If you laughed give it a “like” and pass it on. If you didn’t “Hey Get Off My Lawn”

After months and months of nauseous, continuous coverage of Clinton and Trump, most folks want it to be over. So when it is actually over, this begs the question, what then for Donald Trump?
The Top 8 things Donald Trump Will Do After The Election.
—He’ll hold gender sensitivity seminars for NFL Players.
—You remember you were told, when a boy hits or bullies you, it means he’s hot for you? The Donald will divorce and marry again. Happy Happy wedding day Megyn Kelly.
—Donald Trump could start up a luggage line, selling Bags of Deplorables.
—Mr. Trump will become buddies with more of Russia’s leadership. You can never have enough “Red Ties.”
—Rumour has it, He’ll record a new version of the Johnny Cash hit… “A Boy Named, I’ll Sue”
—Watch for the launch of Trump TV. He’ll put the Trump twist on some of the top rating getters like, “Orange is the New Trump”, “The Walking Trump”, Game of Trump Thrones” and so on.
— Don’t miss “The Donald Trump Hockey School.” This is where you’ll learn to, skate on taxes.
—The Donald will start up an on-line Men’s Discount Club called, “Grope-On.”
Just a few suggestions and thoughts for Mr. Trump if things don’t go your way in this election. For me, I’d like both candidates, “Off My Lawn”
Saying the print media is fair and impartial today is like having a Kardashian get upset with the paparazzi.
What is happening people? I spent about 30 years in the radio and TV industries and when it came to politics we were always told to show both sides of a story. In Radio and TV, if you watch or listen long enough, you might see what side that network tends to “dress” to. Sure you’ve got certain hosts that are right or left, but very rarely do you have an entire network come out and endorse one candidate or the other. We were always told that if you were going to do a story on Politics, Religion, Sex or even that accident at the corner, just report the facts and as enticing as it may be, keep your personal opinions to yourself.
Newspapers are a big part of the media landscape, whether online or printed. They’ve been around longer than radio or TV and were the source of news for hundreds of years. They too were always told to keep things impartial. The *trusted and fair* print media, has really started to piss me off. It seems they’ve gone over the edge from having a few slanted opinion articles to a full blown voter convince-a-thon. The New York and LA Times along many more are actually coming out and endorsing one Presidential Candidate over the other. Even the National Enquirer has done an endorsement.
Newspapers have an editorial board made up of big boss company executives, opinion writers and editors. They ask each candidate questions and if they all agree with the answers the newspaper endorses a candidate. So it comes down to if the movers and shakers in the company like it, that’s the law of the land. The newsroom is separate and is to keep a impartial view of the candidates. We live in a time where newspaper business is hanging on by a thread. Just maybe, the “impartial” newsroom journalists are trying to figure out how to keep their job? This kind of reminds me of what every parent has said to their kid, “If everyone jumps off a bridge…are you going to jump off a bridge.?”
People want to make up their own minds and not have you tell them how to vote. Now that you have shown bias, how can the public trust reporting? What’s next for newspapers? I was thinking that there might be a few other endorsements that they’ve have missed,
Puritanism … the only true religion. Join us for the NY Times endorsed witch burning in Times Square.
Kim Jong Un like Hitler… just a misunderstood guy with a cool haircut.
Sex…The LA Times endorses the Roger Ailes and Bill Cosby NFL “Sensitivity to Women” seminar.
Most people make up their minds on who they’re going vote for from information supplied by the media. I praise the newspapers that have come out and stopped endorsing political candidates. That list is growing every election cycle. For the newspapers that think it’s their civic duty and still endorse, “Hey, Get Off My Lawn.”
