"IRS Hitman" Reality Show..

[Agent Observer]

Interesting concept. I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned on some of the more prolific tax protester forums out there. The blog component points people to some tax service websites.

About Me

The IRS Hitman
I am… the IRS Hitman! My father was a career IRS Agent… and so was I. One day I awoke from a waking nightmare and realized I could no longer be apart of destroying people's lives. I had convinced myself that what I was doing was for the good of the country. One day, my fellow revenue officers proceeded to shut down a local construction company where the aging owner said to me in tears, that her accountant embezzled everything from their accounts. She was left helpless, as we, the people tasked with taking everything… “were kinder to her than those she had paid to take care of her own business.” “Why doesn’t the IRS care,” she asked, with tears streaming down her face. At that moment, a switch in my brain was turned, and I would never be the same again. I knew that she, along with countless others whose lives I had obliterated, …needed someone to stand up for them. To BE The IRS (+) Hitman. There are a million stories from a million lives who’ve turned upside down in the wake for IRS. If I have to drive a million miles to undo that damage or the damage that’s coming? Let'’s Ride!

Yeah, let me guess. That "average American family" didn't pay their taxes for several years.

I looked into this briefly when I first saw it a few weeks ago.

As best as I could tell, this is an advertising attempt trying (ineffectively) to go viral.

Interesting take on an overtired genre called "reality tv." This was the first Reality TV show I've watched since the first season of "Survivor" that held my interest. I've known people who've suffered at the hand of the IRS, so I was hoping The IRS Hitman would deliver. I wasn't disappointed. This well shot look into the lives of one very cool family, felt more like a short movie than cheesy reality tv. Cheers for the producers of this timely tv show. Bring on Episode 2!
Two Thumbs, Way Up, for The IRS Hitman!

Looks like the previous poster "wecreate" is likely to be the "wecreate.tv don campbell" seen here: http://vimeo.com/user700544

From wecreate's (aka Don Campbell's) comments here, one gets the impression that he's just impressed with the show, but this blog post ( http://dontmesswithtaxes.typepad.com/do ... -show.html ), which is openly critical of "IRS Hitman", displays a comment by the show's producer, who signs his comment as:

Don Campbell
Producer
Reality TV with A Bullet:
The IRS (+) Hitman
irs-hitman.com producer Don Campbell.

And to quote wecreate/Don's earlier comment on this thread:

Cheers for the producers of this timely tv show. Bring on Episode 2!

Yeah. Stay classy, Don. Stay classy.

[Demosthenes]

Wow, that is *so* pathetic.

[wserra]

Indeed. Nice find, Parvati.

[Cathulhu]

Parvati, you go! Nicely done.

I'll bet it was.

Hey Klassy Don, whose idea was it to feature an expensive car and a motorcycle in the "Hit Squad" photo? I'm just wondering because if I was in the kind of trouble dealt with by this show and the guy who was supposed to be helping me pulled up in a car worth more than my house, only one word would come to my mind: douchebag. I'd then wonder how much money he's going to try to sucker out of me because there just ain't that kind of money in helping people.

webhick, I know we have had our disagreements before. Like the time I shot your brother on the golf course for criticizing my bowling techniques. But I am going to have to defend Klassy Don here. You see the IRS Hitman is the sh*t man! Those people will be paid handsomely when Klassy Don gets that big contract with Viacom. You see average Americans will identify with a show about free rider douchebags weaseling out of paying their "fair share" and then whining about it when they get caught. After all, doesn't every American owe at least $29,000 in back taxes and penalties? They can totally identify. Everybody loves a free-loading whiner. If the IRS wasn't suppressing web traffic it would be totally viral just like the "swine" flu the CDC released last fall.

The IRS sHitman helps these family out out of the goodness in his heart. There is no profit motive. Sure Viacom will pay big, but who is gonna help keep these douchebags in Ed Hardy?

I hate to be picky, but I decided to look at the web site.

The Hitsquad. The Back Bone and Support Team for the IRS Hitman!

Hmmmm. Newsflash boys: 'Hitsquad' should be two words and 'Back Bone' one.

watch it if you're a spammer.

Couldn't help it, was smitten with the Judge's eloquence.

If your spelling is not quite in sync,
A correction -- as quick as wink --
Will be coming your way
If The Judge has his say.
Yes, orthography rules! (don’t you think?)

No it wouldn't quite be very mean,
If you got a correction from Bean.
It is actually nice --
'Cause you don't pay a price.
And his spelling is really quite keen.

EDIT: I can tell that it's just not My Time
When I'm losing all sense of good rhyme.
So, I'll just have to say:
"Try this some other day."
'Cause this poetry ain't worth a dime.

[Cathulhu]

I bow before your deathless prose.

[Famspear]

I bow before your deathless prose.

Ah, but that's my problem. I mean to be poetic, not prosaic.



prose...."the ordinary form of written or spoken language...."

--Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language, p. 1140 (2d Coll. Ed. 1978).

prosaic...."of or like prose rather than poetry....matter-of-fact; commonplace; dull and ordinary"

--Id.

Oh I guess you won’t think that I’m coy
If I write yet again about Roy.
Yes, his spelling correction
Is in no way deception.
My verses, by contrast, annoy!

I think it's almost time for Famspear to take a sorely needed vacation.
