Tragedy Strikes with the First Official JohnCowTV Broadcast

It is a sad day here at the JohnCow pastures. While filming our first “Official” JohnCowTV episode our faithful COW was kidnapped…. hmm I guess I mean COWnapped!

We are at a complete loss for words as to what to do right now but we have contacted the authorities and they are on the case. In the mean time we are without fresh milk and the vacuuming is not getting done :(

The entire incident was luckily caught on film and you can check it out for yourself!

Making Money Online with JohnCowTV – Episode 1

We are bound and determined to carry forward…. we know that is what COW would want. So in the spirit of integrity and perseverance that our COW inspires in us all, we will move forward. So stay tuned for next Fridays “Episode 2″… hopefully we will know more about the COWnappers or better yet have the cow returned to us.

  11. digg_url = ‘http://www.johncow.com/link-boosting-and-win-10-000-johncowtv-episode-2/'; Well it has been a full week since our beloved COW was stolen from us (as witnessed inJOHNCOWtv Episode 1) and sadly we have not heard a single word from the authorities or the COWnappers. We are still hopeful that COW is safe and unharmed but we also a little concerned. We are moving forward still and in fact we want to celebrate with all of our readers

    Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that Cow has been cownapped. Cow will be in our thoughts. At any rate, I love the show, and I think Audrey did a fantastic job as host. Great advice!

  15. SuiteJ says:

    I’m surprised that you have Bob Jones on the list of suspects. I thought that’s who you had zipped up in the cow costume.

    Are you handling this yourself or do you have the help of the local authorities?

    The cow is in my prayers

    • John Cow says:

      Yes the the Mounties have been notified and rumour has it that they talked about it for a few seconds today at one of the donut shops. Again, i appreciate the support.

    • Ryan McLean says:

      I actually have a prayer group going at my church where someone is praying for the safe return of the cow every hour of every day…
      ok not really but that would be funny

  16. It’s just not right – a cow can’t even go out and appear in the background of a TV show anymore without getting bundled into the back of a car and mooooved at top speed.

    Have you had a ransom demand yet?

    I didn’t pay a hit man $3000 dollars to do this. No Way!!!!

    John Cow is a cow patty cow dung who thinks he’s all that and a bag of organic grass dried potato chips… but I had nothing to do with this.

        We are friends… GOOD Friends!!! I love steak… err, I mean COW!!!

        So let me ask you this? Did you cry yet? Do you EVEN know how to turn a vacuum cleaner on???

        Yeah, ok.. so like you make money online and all that jazz… but come on?? Hiring a cow to do the dishes, the laundry, etc… Sheesh!!!

        For all we know, the COW set this all up himself just to get the hell out of your house!!!

        BTW… and this is TOTALLY unrelated. I was researching on Wikipedia about cows a little bit. Um… if I happened to have a cow as a pet, how often does one need to feed it? Again totally unrelated question… more less just curious. ;)

    Garry is still upset he lost the COWpetition!
    lol

    • Garry Conn says:

      It wasn’t me… I am out $3,000 dollars though… but I think that was from losing my butt at the casino. For sure it wasn’t from hiring a hit man or anything like that.

      If I kidnapped Cow, the only thing I would do is just teach him how to work better for his owner. Jason gets quite frustrated with Cow’s work performance and can get quite abusive. What you don’t see on these YouTube videos is where Jason keeps Cow off the air. It is very possible that Cow set this whole thing up himself just to get away from Jason and his very abusive behaviors.

      You guys did see the previous video right? All cow wanted to do was just help keep the carpet clean.. sheesh.

      Yeah… I like my steak dinner with a nice garden salad and I sure do enjoy eating cheese burgers. However, due to the unethical practices and living conditions of COW, I seriously doubt he would be Top Grade A meat. For sure, Cow would not pass thru FDA inspection.

      Face it… Cow is better off dead. This whole thing could very well be a planned doctor COWvorkian visit. Jason just needs to get himself a replacement donkey. ;)

    I was really drunk in this bar with a farmer and blah blah blah. I tried to stop them but I was too late and now they’ve disappeared and I don’t know what to do :?: hehe lol

    But seriously I wonder who did it. I reckon it was the guy in the red shirt that looked like bruce willis :lol:

    To be honest, I think it was you guys just to get publicity.

  31. Poor COW! I would have said Garry Conn, but I like him too much to accuse him of such a nasty crime! Besides, he’s playing into this too much to be the one, although he has been bragging about the new freezer full of steaks.

    I will take you up on your “send me your promo” stuff offer – who wouldn’t? Are you sure you want to give people carte blanche to send you random stuff. Hmm….man, it is fun to visit this blog!

      Wow… that’s just not right. What we talk about privately in GTalk should really remain off the record. Half those steaks were your for hooking me up with that BestBuy.com coupon code for the freezer. ;)

      Garry Conns last blog post..What Will The Future Hold For DMOZ?

      • OK, I was the one who gave you the bestbuy.com coupon…but, hoW, hOW, HOW could you do it, Conn? What did that bovine ever do to you? What did you have against it? Are you secretly a Gateway branding agent, looking to rid any other business of using a cow as their theme? What a dastardly plan! (uh, is JohnCown still listening?..uh, I like my t-bone medium rare, Conn!).

        Long live the COW!

    In my town the butcher had a lifesize cow over his storefront. During homecoming, the rival high school stole the cow and placed it in the middle of our football field. Check the local high school football field for COW. Probably just fine, happily grazing.

  41. JJ says:

    Hmmmm. You should realize that ‘John Cow’ should either be ‘Jane Cow’ or ‘John Bull’, right? The references to milking Cow rule out ‘John Bull’. It could also be ‘Jane Heifer’ but for your references to getting milk. There you need to change the bulletins to indicate ‘Jane Cow’ was taken. You don’t want them looking for some mad bull, now do you?

    Also, the authorities need to have this reported as cattle rustling. It may still be a capital offense, deserving of immediate lynching when the perp is caught.

  42. Ross says:

    This is just an outrage! Is nothing sacred anymore? What on earth did the cow ever do to anyone?

    I’m shocked and appalled!

    Jane Cow may also be known as Jane Holstein Cow. She may be the offspring of Bessie. Ole Bessie was last seen on the Old MacDonald farm. Check to see if she was rustled back to the old homestead. Maybe you were not treating her right and she faked the rustling to go back home.

    You may have been over-milking the poor gal. That or there was too much bull around there.

    http://www.bigkahunaburger.com/suggest2/tn/mayors_income_town.html

    From what I hear, Jason had put Cow in charge of Traffic Kahuna and things kinda took a little slip in numbers. Needless to say, this could be an inside job and Cow is now being processed into a Big Kahuna Burger. And yes, it is coincidental that there happens to be a location in Tennessee. ;)

      Well, actually they were calling her ‘John’ but that is impossible since they were milking the poor thing dry.

      She appears to be Jane Holstein Cow. Check my previous blog.

      Has anyone attempted to check out her former home at the Old MacDonald farm? Ole Bessie-the-Cow may be her mom.

    Okay, since Jane Holstein Cow has not been found yet, I guess I need to point out the possibly chilling fact that whenever you have a cow that you are milking, lactation only occurs after pregnancy.

    You were milking Jane, right?

    So Jason, what did you do with Jane’s calf?

    Did Jane get wind of some veal cutlets and stage her abduction (cattle rustling)?

    Has anyone noted how long Jason has been milking this poor cow?

    Calf needs part of the milk (unless calf is already veal cutlet).

    Dear John…

    This notice is to inform you that your situation has captured the interest and attention of Homeland Security.

    Through inter agency cooperation with the FBI, CIA and the FDA, a special Mobile Objective Operations Unit (M.O.O.) has been deployed to locate your missing mascot. However, it is with some degree of regret, that I must inform you after several days of extensive investigations the M.O.O. Unit has concluded that the cow does not exist.

    Sincerely,

      Dearest C. O. Walters,

      I believe you are covering the tracks for Jane Holstein COW. Perhaps you are her being influenced by the proprieters of the Ole MacDonald farm.

      Regardless of the reason, we have proof on video of the existance of COW. Perhaps Jane H COW put you up to writing this letter.

      I believe we need proof of YOUR identity, Conrad, (or C.O.W. per your initials).

      Your letter may be just a CON to protect either the perps or Jane.

      You cite that the ‘Bovine Recovery Division’ is part of Homeland Security. It is actually part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Did ever see a steak stamped ‘USHS’? No, it is stamped ‘USDA’.

      Shame on you Con, er C. O. W. (cow-ard?).

      This is coming to you from the homestead next door to the Ole MacDonald Farm, defenders of the Ole-Bessie-the-Cow lineage.
