Next Week: Consumerist Catches Major Company In The Act
Next week, we will bring you the dramatic results of our sting operation into a company who has appeared many times on this blog.
Our exclusive video will provide incontrovertible evidence that the company has been doing what we've suggested they've been doing all along.
We're working on weaving all the material together. For now, all we can say is... "Honeypot." — BEN POPKEN

This time there better be a payoff!
Weeping! Crying! Gnashing of teeth! Handcuffs! People being led to a cop car!
Someone wearing a ComEd shirt!
Or a WalMart Nazi shirt!
Raspberry syrup flowing freely!
Oh, and the estate of A.A. Milne called, they said that Pooh will be out on bail before the weekend's over and that your charges of honey theft will never stand the scrutiny of a Grand Jury.
You might as well have said you caught someone wearing a ConEd shirt working for IDT. We all know thats what it is. It HAS to be.
nobody likes a tease, ben.
Will there be pictures of cats?
Will this be as big as the Segway?
This sounds like Iphoneygate all over again.
Even if a IDT employee was wearing a ConEd shirt, caught on video, what does it prove? It has already been proven they don those shirts under their own volition, and the company themselves heartily recommend against it.
Its an IDT rep, wearing a wal-mart nazi shirt, posing as a Con-Ed rep.
It's a DS-MAX salesman flogging poisoned kittens in Nazi Walmart T shirts over AOL.
It's Dell, placing actual explosives in their notebooks.
(Seriously, though, I have a Dell. It never blew up. Not even once.)
I'm guessing it's Best Buy and their fake website.
As long as it eventually involves Gaby, I'm sold.
Its a DS-Max salesperson, wearing a target shirt, trying to get a job at Dell, who had his ConEd service turned off.
Seriously, the suspense is killing me..
It's an IDT rep with a ConEd shirt, selling the Walmart Nazi shirts, while wearing the lost judge's pants and drinking a venti soy milk mocha with the juicy raspberry syrup.
@William Mize: I came in here to say what you already said. Glad to hear this one will have a bigger money shot than the DS-MAX story.
LOL @ anatak
It's Col. Mustard, with the revolver, in the conservatory!
grammer alert: "Our exclusive video will provide incontrovertible evidence that **they've** company has been doing what we've suggested they've been doing all along."
sorry. i'm excited to hear about this too.
@hemaphore: Grammer? Let's all just settle down.
And I've got $5 on "Vincent Ferarri is actually the shadowy figurehead of the RIAA!"
So why exactly do we need this post? There's nothing in it that's useful. Junk like this shoves real, useful information off the page.
You guys are more of a tease than my wife...
Is it Weddingdepot.com????? Its weddingdepot.com, isnt it?? It is! it is!! Ooh! I can't wait!
@healthdog
Grammar, actually. ;-)
And I'm interested to know this one as well. What could "Honeypot" mean? Let's check Wikipedia:
Honeypot may refer to:
* Honeypot (computing), a computer system set up as a trap for attackers
* Honeypot (espionage) (or Honey trap), a spycraft term designed to catch conventional criminals or enemies
* Honeypot (geography), a particularly popular attraction within a managed tourist area
* The King Protea, a common name for Protea cynaroides
* A slang term for a vagina
* The Honey Pot, a 1967 film staring Rex Harrison and Susan Hayward
* Honeypot ant, one of several species of ants
* A song by the band Beat Happening on their self-titled album
Oh man...I am actually, legitimately excited about this.
The Consumerist has grown up. Not just reporting injustice, investigating and uncovering it as well!
@forumreader:

Out of a sippy cup.
Buzzbee the honey nut cheerio bee was seen eating Kellogg's frosted flakes?
Ben caught a ConEd employee wearing an IDT energy shirt. Scandalous.
God this is why I love this site. I really dig your enthusiasm for showing the true side of companies. Those undercover reports are one of favorite things to watch during the news.
Honeypot?? You had a young female intern sleep with a CEO for information?
@mikyrok: Just so everyone doesn't think I'm crazy: "Honeypot" is an espionage term meaning the use of sex to compromise an enemy agent.
@mikyrok: oh man that means i honeypot all the time.
it's like i'm watching a commercial for the news and they say "this common daily household item will kill you! story at 11."
I have high hopes.
An IDT rep, wearing a ConEd shirt, holding a sippy cup full of Juicy Raspberry syrup, going through security to catch his JetBlue flight - with his Chinese-made "distinctive brown" carry-on stuffed with a Best Buy advert, a Wal-Mart Nazi t-shirt, 9 Apple giftcards, and a Dell computer primed and ready to explode.
Oh, the scandal!
Disney?
Haikus about what the investigation could be:
Captured Blue Vested:
Ben Popken and his cadre
Working at Wal-Mart
Richard Shapero:
DS-Max mafia or,
Porno movie star.
What is in that cheese:
Dirty love on the cow farms
More is forthcoming
From the catalogs:
We buy sea-monkies online
No real monkies!
Gawd, please let it involve kittens somehow. I'm SERIOUSLY Jonzing!
(sniff... bawl...)
Consumerist, why have you foresaken me?!!

Filing RIAA lawsuits on a flaming Dell laptop...
Nope, keep guessing!
My vote is on American Airlines. I'm guessing one of the guards had a passenger's video cam on while looting other peoples' luggage, and now it's been shown to Consumerist :o
Among the items stolen: and IDT badge, a ConEd shirt a Walmart Nazi T-shirt (crap, I went there tonight - should have looked), Starbucks Juicy Raspberry syrup in a sippy cup, an explosive Dell Computer, tainted toothpaste and pet foods, and, just to throw an oldie in there, a sandwich from Quiznos with no bread and a very limited selection of toppings, and Vanilla Coke because they were out of everything else (literally).
The scandal keeps growing!

While being sued by the RIAA for downloading Spice Girl's "Wannabe" illegally while also purchasing multiple homes- blogging about it- and then going bankrupt.
I hope it's better put together than the last one and that this one actually has something substantial to say.
Can't stand for the suspense....
Post already. Can't wait.
So, Um, Yeah...week's over = lame.
Yeah... Did I miss the post?
a haiku of despair:
so long it has been
still no video of from sting
where has my mind gone?
Damn you Ben, for the suspense! Haven't we all been loyal readers? Haven't we been here through thick and thin? How can you do this to us? If only...
Tune in next week for the exciting conclusion of this comment!
