Deadspin
I'm afraid I gave you only part of the story with the earlier Mike Cooper post. Carl Monday has gotten himself involved again, and where there's Carl Monday, there's more story.
First, it's not just a $150 fine. Cooper isn't allowed to go into public libraries, and he's not allowed to be anywhere where children congregate. He was also sentenced to 30 days in prison, but he'll avoid that if he stays on good behavior for a while.
But, of course, none of that is enough for Carl Monday. Exposing him as a public masturbator isn't enough. Public humiliation isn't enough. Seeing him leave the courtroom as a broken and ashamed man isn't enough. Carl Monday has a big knife, and he can't resist giving it just a few more twists.
I kinda want to fight Carl Monday. I get the feeling that he's not as bothered by the attention that this case has gotten as much as he'd have you believe. My favorite part of this is when he says, "Because of the sensitivity of this story, we asked Cooper's attorney to ask her client to make a brief statement after sentencing." And then he proceeds to treat no one with any sensitivity whatsoever, and just follow Cooper's family out to the parking lot anyway.
Anyway, the video is here, many thanks to Big Daddy Drew and Roy Hobbs.

What is Ryan Leaf doing there in the parking lot telling them to "knock it off" at the end of the video?
Does that Anchor have a teardrop tattoo?
Get away from me, congregating children.
wow honestly this story just keeps getting better. To bad this wasn't posted on a weekday this would be the highest comment article ever. All i know is wasn't Carl Monday suppose to drop the story. Time to turn the page????
Tom, I think that's from when she killed another anchor. It's a well known fact that news anchors sometimes have to kill one another, and in return, they get a teardrop tattoo to signify that they've done what they needed to do.
Way to get dressed up for your court appearance but I guess when you live in your parent's basement you can't afford to buy a suit.
That cop seemed like a dick. That push of Mr. Cooper was totally unnecessary. Cops being dicks? I'm astounded!
As a Steelers fan, I take it as an article of faith that Cleveland is a cesspool. Now I have proof. Well, except for Jimbo, who risked his job to try to get us inside the courtroom.
Good god. A man is broken, bent, and humiliated. A man is ruined and given due punishment. And what's Carl Monday going to do? He's going to kick that man around a little bit more. Carl Monday, you're on notice.
Carl Monday has crossed the line too many times. IT is time for someone to stand up to this guy. The first video using Coopers name and putting his face on tv was way too much. Next he put Cooper's parents on TV to shame them as well. Then he tells everyone a couple weeks later to "turn the page"????. Now this video earning Monday another pay check. Will, Deadspin I think the main goal of this website should be to bring Carl Monday down. Whatever it takes. I say we deadspinners call it Operation Monday Night Moustache
Christ Sabo, I just hope that she used a trident for the anchorcide.
My god, where to start? 1. Elizabeth Kelley needs to be sued for misrepresenting her milfness on her website. 2. What the fuck is Carl Monday's problem? 3. Why did my lying ears hear Judge Cumstack the first time? Subliminal message? 4. What the fuck is Carl Monday's problem? 5. Nice snatch and grab of the mic by dear old dad. I see where Mike learned his technique. 6. What the fuck is King Friday XIII...errr, Carl Monday's problem?
Anyone else think Carl Monday should get a guest-Threatdown on the Colbert Report? And the number one threat ... public masturbators.
I concur Jesuspunchesallpunks. I con-cur.
This story kind of rubbed me the wrong way, and with Carl Monday on the job, I was hoping for a happy ending.
What I want to know is that at the very end, it sounds like Mikey is asking "Where did I put my...", but I can't make it out. A couple of optional nouns... a) manhood b) gun c) ambidextrous whacking technique
I wouldn't mind performing a sex act with the blonde.
Funny, the teardrop tattoo was the first thing that I thought too.
Ho do we take down Carl Monday? I'm fucking sick of him. It's ceased being funny.
I still take issue with the tag "Masturbating Lonely Men With Mustaches." It sounds too much like an activity.
I thought the video peaked with Mike getting into the back of the minivan, but once COMBAT VET and Mike went Royal Rumble style on Carl Monday I completely lost it. This needs to be reposted on Monday for anyone who didn't stop by over the weekend. A little Monday on Monday. A nice way to start the week.
though everyone appears ready to take Mr. Monday to the mattresses... just wanted to point out that in the middle east, without Carl the four horsemen appear ready to usher in armageddon... i for one, am glad that Carl Monday is here preserving peace and decency in america...
I'd bet I can get Carl Monday on the phone. It's a start. Ummmm...then what?
So, can we hire a bunch of kids and have them congregate outside the Cooper residence to force Mike Cooper from his home? And then just follow Mike Cooper around for a day or two. Or is that crossing the line? (Oh man, did I just give Carl Monday a new idea for a way to force Mike Cooper to give him a "brief statement regarding the incident" on camera?)
I think Operation Monday Night Moustache needs alot. First of all I agree we need to respost this on Monday so everyone who didn't see it on the weekend sees it. Build support for the cause. Next I think we need to find some kind of dirt on Monday something he did at KEnt state a family photo where he looks kinda drunk and take it to the bank. We need to call him or email him and confront him, call his station and demand he resigns, send them emails. I was all for Carl Monday but I think he has gone tooo far in my book with this story. Anyone else got ideas? I am open as long as we don't invade a country or anything. Long live Operation Monday Night Moustache !!!!!!!!!!
BoSox - We can't tell his news editor on him, because he's clearly in on it, and profits from Monday's parasitic approach to stories. The best you could do would probably get some other media outlet in Cleveland interested in doing an expose on Monday. There have to be some skeletons in his closet, or more appropriately, a disgruntled cameraman, etc., who watched Monday slice up an interview to make it look one way, when the truth was the opposite.
OOO we also need to give him hella fake leads!!!
we should hire that guy steinbrenner used on winfield to get dirt on mr. monday
Shanknuts, just make Snoop Dogg call Carl Monday. http://www.orbitgum.com/goodcleanfeeling/index.do Go to that site and click 'Get A Call.' I've had minutes of fun using it.
Cooper doesn't seems so threatening when his mom has to open the sliding door to her mom-mobile and close her little boy away. Geez, he goes to court and doesn't even get to ride shotgun??
How does the Coop not have a reality show yet. Even w/o public masturbation, he and his Combat Vet Dad could cash in.
Un. Be. Lievable.
His attorney called it a "blessing in disguise." Blessings disguised as getting caught spanking it in a public library? And having it shown on TV (then all over the interwebs)? Truly, the Lord works in mysterious ways.
All I know is if this video by Carl Monday has made it offical. They can now make a DVD with all the Carl Monday vs Mike Cooper battles. Limited edition wacking towel included
Not being from Cleveland, this video puts Monday in a whole new light. That intro was downright frightening. That must be the "shameless" local news channel, right? Like Fox 5 in New York? I mean all local news is shameless to a degree, but there's always one that goes beyond. OK, #1, I'm sure someone already posted this a while back, but what is his real name? Thats where we start. Post Monday's real name.
The ONLY thing that could have made that better from a comedy standpoint is if Mike Cooper had actually said "Get away from me, Carl Monday!" We got the angry "get away from me", but Cooper failed to complete the phrase.
One more thing, that was hardly "storming" out of the courtroom. It was more of steady saunter. Carl Monday, is there nothing you will not distort?
Carl Monday sounds like some voice Jim Henson would use on one of his lesser Muppets. Tip for all aspiring journalists: Mustache = Credibility
Combat Vet set a pretty good moving pick. Can someone repost the link to CoopDog's MySpace?
For Monday Night Moustache, what about something like this? http://cursor.org/walkons/default.htm If only this site had some sort of easily recognizable catchphrase...
I can't believe this hasn't been posted already (I'm almost positive I've not seen it). Carl Monday's email address and phone number. http://www.wkyc.com/monday/email.asp Now what? How do I channel my righteous indignation with this douchebag?
Look y'all. I wouldn't organize any protest rallies or letter writing campaigns, cuz Carl Monday is just doing his job..... you may not agree with his tactics but he gets results. It's easy to feel pity for CoopDog cuz of his bad mustache and flabby build and his lifetime of sorrow living under the COMBAT VETS gnarly thumb, but let's not forget CoopDog was wacking it in the public library!!! Across from the kid section. That shit is sick. If you actually saw that shit happen in the reals you would wish a thousand Carl Monday's on that pervert. Plus he likes Ohio State. Fuck him.
Now that the state of Ohio has branded Coop a hardened criminal what more does he have to lose. I'm feeling a sniper attack at the Ohio State -Michigan game may be next. L. H. Oswald was pushed over the edge by less. How's the evil Carl Monday going to feel about that folks.
I am emailing his ass and letting him know Opreation Monday Night Moustache is after him. Monday has no mercy niether shall we
It's simple path. I combine Christ Sabo's Snoop Dogg link with BoSox Siobhan's supplied Monday number and BLAMMO! Da Unigoat tells Carl he's got a dirty mouth!
BoSox, send him photoshopped pictures of him banging Mike Cooper. I'm sure he'd get a kick out of it.
Bosox- you are not the only one distrubed by Monday's tactics. When the story first broke, many people thought that bringing Coop's family into the matter went too far. I agree, although I still think the whole thing is one of the funniest things I've ever seen- that is, if you can forget that these people are real. Nevertheless, if you feel that strongly you should email him and tell him how you feel. But afterwards, I suggest you refrain masturbating in a library for a while. In fact, dont even leave the house.
Get away from me, Carl Monday, get away from all of us.
To the poster who asked if channel 3 was the "shameless" channel, the answer is no. That honor belongs to WOIO Channel 19. This the main headline on the Web site right now - Virgin Mary in Cleveland? A dying man, an empty house and a mysterious image of the Virgin Mary. Our cameras rolled on a chinning sight right here in Cleveland.
The comedic value of this stuff is unbelievable, but some time ago Carl Monday's desire to destroy this poor guy's life crossed the line. Cooper is a lonely and somewhat pathetic guy who made a stupid mistake, but didn't hurt anybody. Monday is a spiteful and vindictive douchebag who delights in ruining peoples' lives. As decent and honorable human beings, we owe it to everyone to do whatever is necessary to bring down Carl Monday, and all those of his ilk. Operation Monday Moustache it is.
After reading the cursor.org article, clearly the best way to do this is for our Cleveland brethren to try to do as many walk-ons of live Cleveland TV as possible, whether on Channel 3 or not. As ky-jellydonuts said, it would be nice if there was some sort of catchphrase.
Still demand a repost of this on Monday so the whole Deadspinner world knows about this
The more I think about it, the best way to do this would probably be a dual-sided approach: 1) Gawker clearly has the technology to track celebrities across Manhattan. They need to start sharing it with the rest of the country, particularly northeastern Ohio. Cleveland-area Deadspinners need to be on the lookout for Carl. 2) If you're in Cleveland, and you have a video camera, do some ambush journalism on Carl. See how he likes it when you ask him, as he's eating dinner, if he realizes how he's single-handedly destroying the food supply. Better yet, if you see him in his car, ask him why he's contributing to global warming by driving a big gas-guzzler (one could only hope that he drives a Hummer)
How about Will sets up a paypal account where Deadspinners can pay Mike Cooper's fine? If we raise enough we can pay to have the library renamed the Mike Cooper Memorial Library.
The cop appears from the shrubs and knows Mr. Cooper's name. Although there was a confrontation last time, neither side had any 'security'. Safe to say that Mrs. Cooper has slammed the door on Mike's fingers at one time or another, which can't be good for his Halo prowess. Which one of the Cooper's requested the tinted windows option at the mini-van dealership? Monday claims he 'attempted to leave' as he stepped closer to the van. Would this story be so big if the library people placed the computer stations near the 'adult' section?
Does he live with his parents? What a perv. Cooper, too.
Jimbo, I seriously hope you are kicking yourself for not sticking around longer. Missing out on what could have been the most epic deadspin post of all time.
I do believe Carl Monday needs his ass kicked. Case of the Mondays or not. I simply have too many comments to just post one. first--- why wasn't Cooper wearing anything with "Ohio State" on it?!?!? this demands clarification. Barry Lutz... thank you. Classic. Gasface, you beat me to "Storming out of the courtroom" being hte most disingenous thing i've heard in mainstream media in at least the last 2 days...
I had no idea Phylicia Rashad was WKYC's news anchor.
BobaFett...I'm completely with you...that shit is Gross!
You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding. This guy is a huge, HUGE hypocrite for begging us to 'turn the page' on this story in his blog, then pulling this fantastically awful shit outside of the courthouse. This is beyond not merely journalistic, but actual human decency. Do people actually enjoy watching a young hick get humiliated by some high-brow scumbag? http://www.wkyc.com/weblog/carlmonday/ That's the link to Monday's blog. I propse we infiltrate it, smear it, smear him, and expose him as the hideous individual he and his news team are. Mark my words. I've done journalism work myself (albeit for the performing arts scene in college, but take what you can get), and this freakshow of an investigation led by an obtuse carnival barker needs to end.
Well, I wrote a pretty livid comment under his most recent post for the heck of it, but the bastard's got mod approval enabled. Seriously though, we need to expose Monday for the greater good of both the Internet and lonely masturbating men with moustaches everywhere. It's time to rise up, y'all.
Finally, I just now read about jesus' excellent Monday Night Moustache plan. I'm on board, yo. I ain't no punk.
How can you people turn on Carl Monday like that? Cooper and his family are obviously white Ohio trash--no normal people behave that way, they just get in their car and drive away, with maybe a "no comment" thrown in for good measure. What a bunchh of fucking lunatics. If I lived in Cleveland I would egg their house...
You've got to hand it to Mr. Cooper, he can throw a microphone with the best of 'em. Seriously, folks, it's this kind of crap that has made us all fall in love with Carl Monday. In fact, more than one commenter has noted the hilarity of Carl Monday following Bubba the drunk into a bathroom, which is pretty much the same thing as this. If the Cooper family is too stupid to give another reason for a story, then it's their own fault. Any decent attorney would advise the family just get in their vehicle and leave quietly. The Cooper's made this story, not Carl Monday. Mike Cooper is the idiot who wore a t-shirt to his sentencing, and if he had simply given a brief statement like he agreed to, none of the hilarity would have ensued. I have watched this video several times, and I can't stop laughing. Since when did you guys get such sympathetic hearts for characters who are so cartoonishly unsypathetic? The combined IQ of everyone involved with the filming of this story is lower than the average gas mileage in a Hummer. I for one want this sort of shit to continue.
Here's Carl Monday relaxing at a swinging senior convention after a hard day harrassing mentally unstable families. Hope he's not driving, with the look on his face, Bubba might teach him a thing or two. Somebody could probably do something clever with this pic and Photoshop: http://www.clevelandseniors.com/photos/tarsitano/pmonday.j...
o that lady in my link above is his real wife. What a looker Monday!
Signing on for Opreation Monday Night Moustache. I also really think someone should start taping him in public and posting
