Corporate Criminal Offers Lame Half-Assed Apology to Wes Welker and Pats Fans
From Pawngo’s website which I won’t link because fuck them and their web traffic:
To All of Boston, Wes Welker and Patriots Fans Across the Nation I Apologize.
As a die-hard sports fan, I would like to sincerely apologize for a misguided and misdirected stunt that we did yesterday in Boston. In delivering a pile of Butterfinger bars to Copley Square in Boston, and a sign referencing Wes Welker, we were making a lighthearted gesture following Sunday’s hard fought game. We thought that Boston fans would get a laugh out of it. But, for many great Boston sports fans, it was taken offensively. Please accept my most sincere apologies. We got caught up in the moment, reacting to a suggestion that we thought would be funny, but we were wrong, and on behalf of everyone involved with Pawngo, I apologize. We all make mistakes. Perhaps I need a Butterfinger candy bar myself... To Wes Welker and the rest of the Patriots organization, we at Pawngo apologize for any hard feelings caused by what was only meant to be a light hearted gesture following Sunday’s hard fought game.
Todd Hills, CEO-Founder
It’s been quite the week for useless apologies, huh? Well while we’re telling Eric Wilbur and Brandon Jacobs to take their “I’m sorry”s and shove them up their ass, let’s keep the momentum going by saying the same to the corporate weasel/ environmental criminal known as Todd Hills. Fuck you and your apology, you empty suit. It wasn’t our idea. Someone dared us to. He made me do it. We thought it would be funny and you’d all get a kick out of it because New Englanders don’t take losing championships seriously, right? No hard feelings? Huh? Buddies? Yeah, guess again. You pissed off the wrong city, you frauds. Maybe wherever you come from they value fencing stolen merchandise on the internet so junkies can have heroin money more than winning Super Bowls. But that doesn’t fly around here. Your apology means no more than BP saying “Oops! Our bad!” to the ocean or Tyco saying they were sorry for pissing away everyone’s retirement on the CEO’s wife’s birthday party. Too little, too late. The damage you did cannot be undone. Nice business plan, by the way alienating an entire region of the country with one stupid publicity stunt. We look forward to watching your company go belly up and Todd Hills, broken, disgraced and unemployable, starving to death on a diet of nothing but Butterfingers. @JerryThornton1
Jerry are you that big of a baby that youve let this affect you to the point where youve written 4 blogs about this?
unfortunately after this asshole runs pawngo into the ground he will just move on to another one. Its how America works.
Jerry,
I’m sorry that I frequently post about what a shitty writer you are, how you’re painfully unfunny, and how it’s pathetic that at age 50 you’re a part time comedian and blogger. You’re a tremendous douche but I guess you mean well. Sorry.
“we thought that Boston fans would get a laugh out of it”??? oh you did? so next on your list of great marketing ideas are you and goose going to do a jumbo jet fly-by over Manhattan? light hearted my ass, go fuck yourself and your shitty company
For fuck’s sake. Cry more.
D blog
you’re so so dumb jerry. he’s not sorry, and he loves how you’re giving him and his stupid company more press right now. you’re playing into his hands, and you’re so dumb it hurts my brain.
So the dean of medicine at UMassMedical School, Aaron Lazare, wrote an entire book about apologies. As med students, we were all given a copy.
Todd Hills, Eric Wilbur, and Brandon Jacobs (if he can actually read) should have picked up a copy before they opened their mouths again. Douchebags.
The only thing worse than no apology is an insincere apology.
hey wildmanpete – go fuck a garbage disposal.
Jesus Christ…I’m a West Coast Stoolie and cannot believe how much you guys are crying about this. Are all Boston fans this whiny after losses or is it just this old fart? Can we start a KO/Occupy Jerry movement?
Umm, are you idiots serious? You know this guy is giving an intentional insincere apology, right? Kind of like when James Spader apologized to George on Seinfeld? Said he was sorry that George’s big bulbous head stretched the neckhole on his new sweater.
and everytime Barstool even mentions this guy’s company its a win for him
^^^ now that’s the kind of clever comment that keeps you in a job where, at age 41, you’re so valuable that you can spend all day every day commenting on a blog. Pitiful. Way to go Kay Jewelers.
Preach! Motherfuck this asshole, if this company goes down the drain over that I’ll be incredibly happy.
How many of you had ever heard of Pawngo before this? This guy was smart enough to know that Patriots fans would bitch, whine, and be dumb enough to play right into his marketing plan.
wildman – what is more pitiful:
-Having 2 screen names on this site. Do you and Wicked Pickett reply to each other’s posts? Are you online friends even though you are the same person?
-Adding 5 years to my age and calling me old.
-Being a miserable whiny cunt that only comes to the message board to complain.
Kill yourself. Oops my bad – kill yourselves (sorry Pickett – left you out)
alright time to fuck their shit up. any Boston anons and 10pm EST we’re shutting down their site. spread the word. viva la stool mother fuckers.
Also, you cannot always use “all press is good press.” They would not be backtracking here if they realized this might be bad for business. Even if Boston fans are the only ones mad, other people might think “do i want to do business with these type of ass holes?”
There is a Boston based pawn shop called Pawntique. I suggest everyone uses them if you want heroin.
Also, here is a nice article in forbes about the prank:

“You pissed off the wrong city, you frauds.”
Again Jerry, get the fuck over yourself.
Hey Todd Hills, I hope you and your whole family die of AIDS. Just kidding…it was just a lighthearted gesture. But seriously, you look like a retarded koala bear.
I hope a Taliban suicide bomber handcuffs himself to Brandon Jacobs and Eric Wilbur, and then walks into Pawngo’s headquarters.
The world would be a better place afterwards.

Also, you cannot always use “all press is good press.”
And your extensive experience as a 36 year old mail clerk makes you qualified to comment on this? Go stamp a package for Hong Kong you lackey (no offense to John)
Can’t wait for the Pawngo IPO…I wanna invest in these geniuses…Good,sound judgement, D-bag… was this in the business plan given to the VC firm?…
Preach Jerry you are on FIRE today! Again fuck all you haters – wilddouchpete, Brockton. carlspAck – get bent. A block, fuck Pawngo assholes. This is not good press for them – known for an asshole move like this. A low blow and not even fair to Wes.
wildman – why are you ignoring the elephant in the room? That you use 2 screen names because you are such an insufferable cunt, you need to spread out your whiny posts?
I mean thats pretty pathetic, even for a fag like you right?
But hey – keep making up insults. Just try to reply from this username this time. You fucken imbecile.
It is true that any publicity is good publicity for this stupid company. But you know who doesn’t like negative publicity? Pawngo’s investors. The PE/VC world hates negative publicity, which is why among other reasons Pres can’t get any institutional investors. So just do an expose on the assholes who are promoting this sort of behavior:
Access Venture Partners – Jay Campion - http://www.accessventurepartners.com/teamJay.php
Daylight Partners – Rocky Mountain (nice name you smelly hippy) - http://www.daylightpartners.com/portfolio.htm
Lightbank – Kevin Leland (he’s a founder of Pawngo unfortunately) - http://lightbank.com/portfolio
This post is right up there in terms of stupidity with all the stuff coming from KO Barstool.
Maybe he should have thrown a couple of rape jokes in his apology …
^^ how much for a 6 lb package to Saskatchewan?
..,x..I love how this fuckstick HAD comments allowed on his blog/apology – and everyone said “empty apology – donate $25K to a charity in Myra’s name and then we will consider it an apology”…and within a few hours comments were shut off and nothing more was said.
What a total fucktard. I hope I run into this asshole that I can doing some corporate dumping of his teeth on the floor.
Jerry – btw – LOVE your writing – all these guys hating on you are knuckle-dragging morons.
“We thought that Boston fans would get a laugh out of it. But, for many great Boston sports fans, it was taken offensively.”
-
Translation: “We thought that Boston fans had a sense of humor. Instead, we learned that you’re largely a disgraceful collection of over-sensitive pussies who can dish it out but can’t take it. Peace out, fags.”
agreed badgermit. I love how cunts (wildmanpete/Wicked Pickett) come on here and say how bad of a writer Jerry is.
Because half the jokes go over their heads or they can grasp 3 syllable words.
*cannot
…x….y…OK – the asshole and pawngo has donated money (no idea how much) to the Wes Welker Foundation. good move. I officially forgive them (unless it is less then $10K). they can provide money for drug addicts all over the world with my blessing now.
could this dude look the part of “evil corporate executive snake” anymore?
*any_more
^ Like his hilarious skating pieces? What, you mean he’s being sarcastic? Writing about an effeminate thing like skating on a smut site? What genius. I think it’s more the other way. To mail clerks like you anything deeper than a knock knock joke qualifies as “deep jokes” which you assume the rest of the world doesn’t get. Sorry, we get them, not funny. Although I will admit, maybe some of the old guy jokes are funny, I’ll have to take your word on that.
BTW you never answered my question about a package to Saskatchewan.
wildman – I havent answered your hilarious question about me being a mail clerk, because you keep dodging my question on how you have 2 screen names.
Do you want to scroll through the post on how I made fun of your posts, and you asked for a truce, but now you seem to have balls again? Oh and now you have moved on from old jokes to…………..mail room jokes! HA HA HA
Anyone that missed it – wildmanpete = Mr Wicked Pickett. And they are both cunts.

@cgr247 – umm hey shithead, not sure you get the whole idea of a marketing plan but its to attract business to your company. please let us know how this great marketing plan that pissed off us Patriots fans is. Oooohhh he got us!!! we’re playing right into his plan by harassing him through email and vowing to never give any business to his company!!! what a brilliant idea by this guy…take notes, take lots of notes….
wicked pickett is wildmanpete? wow, that is pathetic
@EZBreezey2222 – no shit, he pissed off the people in our city of 600,000 and a few randos in RI/CT (places no one cares about). however, think about how many giants fans there are in new york, and how many people nationwide hate the patriots/boston fans in general. those people probably all thought it was fucking hilarious. so yeah people in our little city are all up in arms, but in the end he got everyone to talk about his company and most people were either amused or don’t give a shit but have now heard of his company.
wildman…what about that makes you think it’s an “intentionally insincere” apology? i’m sure the guy doesn’t really mean it, but he definitely hopes the city will forgive and forget and all that shit. and anybody that bitches that jerry writes about this shit too much needs to kill themselves.
mctrippy – not sure we want to get in the head of petey there. The guy is a CEO of one of the most successful financial firms in the world. Not just Boston.
The kid is mad smart, works hard all day, and get shits done. So much that he has 2 screen names.
Wild man picket pete is really just one guy? Ingenious.
What a colossal dickbag this guy is.
KO Barstool is to Barstool as you boston losers are to Pawngo. Why are you even on Barstool if you can’t take a simple joke? But it looks like you drum circled hard enough and got a half assed apology that apparently rips you more, uh you win?
@cgr247 – yeah, you got it, little ole Boston here with just 600,000 people and a few “randos” in RI and CT. except here’s the thing, there are actually +14.2 million people living in New England so your numbers are a little off. and in case you didnt know this website is based in Boston and is read by mostly people in Boston and the surrounding area – the only people who hate boston sports and come to this site are internet trolls. the only news outlets covering this story are boston based ones. so one more time, let us know how great this marketing plan was again to drum up business…
First of all-as a patriot fan, i still thought the Pawngo jome was kinda funny. Not gna lie. Most of the dickheads on here blasting Pawngo were the same dickheads blasting Welker all week long. So wuts the fuckin diffrence? At least Pawngo did something origional and ballsy instead of typing all tough guy from a computer. It was a joke, it was kinda funny, big fuckin deal. Dont do business with them and call it a day.
Kay
**KayJ- i knew wildman/pickett was suspect and a total fuckin shitdick. So your saying WildmanPeterhead claims he is part of the 1%? Hey wildmanpeterhead, the dudes that talk a tough game(especially over the internet) and claim they are “bigshots” are uaually the guys that us, hard working, blue collared cats hafto bail out everytime shit gets a little hairy. I wouldnt be too proud, MrWildPickett.
And Jerry, keep it up Bro. Fuck these pukes.
only in new york where winning the super bowl just isnt enough..
