If in your mind I look bad than you are the sucker. Mike has played you.
I made good on my commitments. Everybody who paid me got their videos. End of story.
Mike is a lying POS. And he will get DQ'd.

Hey Ken you made a Mike for posting negative comments on your FB page so you started posting here?
Looks like he's not the only one who posted negative things about your work online . . . so are you going to go after all of those brides as well?
Get your personal shit out of here . . . this is a place for runners.
I started posting here because it's a free country and there are no rules to this forum. And there's no proof that you are a runner either.
If I thought I could get Mike DQ'd on a DJ forum I'd be there instead. But he didn't cheat at DJing, did he?
Liar.
Anybody can read the record. you took their money and ran. you only got caught by the news and the state and then decided to respond to their complaints and give them something in return for their money.
Why didn't you respond to them if they'd already paid you, but then become magically available when they pretended to be a new potential client?
Why did you give people the same excuses over and over (how many times can your grandparents die)?
You aren't any more trustworthy and Mike Rossi himself.
The proof that I am a runner should be evident in the fact that I post here and do not do so as a means to getting back at some guy. I've been posting here before Mike cheated.
As you have demonstrated, the only reason you are here is to get back at Mike for giving you negative comments on a Facebook page. But instead of responding to him on facebook, you've come here and feigned an interest in marathon cheating.
It is most telling that you say you would go on a DJ site if you could somehow "DQ" him in that respect. This goes to show that you have no interest in marathons or their integrity and just have a beef with this guy and never cared about the cheating.
Your words not mine.
And there it is!

Because making wedding videos isn't like making pizzas. Brides book weddings up to 2 years in advance. By the time I had issues I had many of the weddings already filmed. And while I could have slapped them together and gotten them out quicker I actually do have a mental illness called "perfectionism". Giving client a half-assed product is not something I could do. Because doing so would mean they wouldn't want to watch it.
Is it better to get a good product late or bad product fast? It's the difference between a filet mignon or a cheeseburger.
I've seen your work. You're lying if you think it is nothing other than cheeseburger.

Bullshit.
I'm tired of this response you keep posting. You wouldn't respond to people who had already paid you money. You would immediately be available for those willing to give you money.
The terms of those contracts said 26 weeks, not 102, and when people demanded that you make good on your promises you simply said tough luck and all of the terms in that contract were in your favor. Don't worry I will repost what other people said to prove that you didn't just take a little bit longer than expected.
You lied big time.

I have taken the time to bold words from your customers that show you systematically lie, give false excuses, and avoid them after they've paid you. I also like the comments on how you didn't have time to talk to them but had time to constantly update your blog.

Please PLEASE PLEASE do not use this man for your video services. Just google his name and you will understand why others are saying the same. I booked him for a wedding in early 2011 and nothing. He never responds to your phone calls or emails. It's like a broken record but his #1 excuse - a family issue. Hey we all have family issues but we still have to work right? Stop taking on MORE clients and get caught up with those you've obviously neglected. He obviously has spare time in which he gets to update his blog rather frequently.
For those going through this horrible ordeal, the PA Attorney General has filed a suit against him. PLEASE take the time and file here: attorneygeneral.gov. You're not only helping yourself but others that have lost precious memories.

Only gave him 1 star because it was the lowest I could leave. We got married in September 2010, and were told we would have everything by March or April. After being ignored via email & the phone -he finally got back to us in June to tell us he wasnt done and since he wasn't Walmart - he didn't have to respond to us like customer service. Those were his exact words -I still have the email! It took us a whole year to receive the video and the mini dvd's that were supposed to be favors at the wedding reception didn't get made until after - so we had to mail those out as well! He was HORRIBLE!

First to Review
Please avoid this business like the plague. We were married oct. 2010 and have not received our wedding video. After several attempts to contact this business we never received or heard anything. Then out of no where while watching TV we see him on CBS Philly with a couple that was married around the same time we were and yet they never received their wedding video either. Here's a link to that video philadelphia.cbslocal.co. Up until you meet him he's professional, well I should say his wife is because after we signed the contract, we never heard from him but it was always his wife. Ladies please if you're considering using him for Wedding Video Services please look else where. For more information just google "Kenneth Stillman Reviews" and you'll see alot of negativity in regards to getting back the finished product. I'm now looking into filing a small claims suit against him.

We ran into the SAME EXACT issue! My husband & I just watched the CBS new story and couldn't believe how IDENTICAL our situation was. And Ken seems to be using the same excuse as before, "I have experienced family tragedies." We were married in June 2010, were promised our video in 26 weeks and did not receive it until end of February (after countless emails, phone calls, a visit to his home business and a complaint filed with the BBB). He stated he was backlogged THEN with family issues and tragedies. What a crock! I beg all brides not to use his services.
Making pizza and being a wedding DJ or vidiot are the same. It is what you get when you don't do well in school.
mike rossi cheated to get a BQ.

See how everyone is talking about you, Ken? Remember some great advice that was posted recently about staying out of it? But no - you are just a fat idiot and since intelligence is genetic, the accusations about your son are starting to ring true.
happy now Ken - because if you don't want to take good advice and you want to keep clogging up this thread with your sh*t, I am happy to make it all about your sh*t.
So decide - only talk about Mike or keep writing the idiotic sh*t abotu yourself and we'll talk about your girlfriends gunt instead.
1. Rossi posted online a letter he received from the principal of his children's elementary school because he took his two children out of school to watch him run in the Boston Marathon.
2. He then responded and wrote a sarcastic and self-serving letter to the principal, addressing it "Dear Madam Principal" rather using her real name which would have demonstrated generally accepted standards of respect (he later tries to claim he loves the school and the principal and meant no harm) when writing a letter. He essentially threw a hissy fit because he believed that he and his family should be treated differently than any other school district families.
3. He never sent that letter to the principal or any other school administrator but instead posted it online. I could understand taking all of this public after you have exhausted all avenues of recourse that responsible people first try, that is, meeting with school officials.
4. He subsequently said he posted both letters on only his Facebook page which were solely intended for his "friends" to see. He then denied that he posted either letter anywhere else but to his Facebook page, yet that was a lie as has been shown via screen captures and saved images of his twitter account and other social media sources (including his company website) that he posted/reposted and tweeted/retweeted said letters and giving tv and radio interviews, all before ever meeting with any administrator in the school district. One could argue that he was cyber-bullying the principal by his childish behavior, the tone of his letter and the sarcasm he envoked.
5. The principal did not single out Rossi or treat him and his two children any different than any of the other 7,500 students in the school district. Partial disclosure - I live in this school district. Letters such as this are issued for unexcused absences. Why he choose to make an issue of this is beyond me because it does not affect a student, especially third graders, unless the student already has a history (10 or more I believe in the state of PA) of unexcused absences.
6. This attention brought scrutiny to his public "running" and race times, as well as all of his posting and boasting on his social media accounts. As questions arose, the once very public figure decided to go uncharacteristically quiet and close his social media accounts or made them private.
7. Rossi posted and boasted about his running and training like he was an accomplished runner or athlete, although much of it sounded quite amateurish. He posted pictures like a teen.
8. He "runs" the race of a lifetime after only 18 months of running and total of about 1,000 miles at the age of 46 and all of sudden he finds modesty and barely mentions his Lehigh Valley Health Network Via Marathon's race time, in spite of somehow cutting an enormous amount of time from his PR. After every other race, he wrote a lot on his social media accounts and posted tons of pictures at each race. However, for some reason, barely a peep from him after the LVM. Things that make you go hmm?
9. When questioned in an interview about the disconnect between previous race times and his LVM race time/pace, he said he wasnt trying in the other races yet in his posts he blatantly boasted about his race times and expressed how he thought his race times were good etc., thus his posted comments are consistent with someone trying to do his best and trying to get BQ. In fact, in the Philadelphia Marathon he mentions his time and the BQ and being upset that he "just" missed a BQ because of a bathroom break.
10. There is not one single photograph of Rossi on the LVM race course, with the exception of the ones at the finish line. The race course did not have time mats but did have several camera checkpoints on the course. There is a nearly continuous run of photos at least three checkpoints.
11. At one of the photo checkpoints there was on average more than 48 photos published per minute for a 13 minute stretch during which Rossi would have to run by the checkpoint (with the fewest photos in any one minute stretch being 40 photos). All of the 20 closest finishers to Rossi (in terms of place, 10 ahead, 10 behind) were spotted at all three checkpoints and yet Mr. Rossi is absent from all three.
12. An analysis of the first photo checkpoint revealed that 199 of the top 200 finishers were photographed. Guess who is missing? Yep, Rossi #2161. Is it a coincidence that the individual who ran his fastest pace/time for a marathon and at a faster pace than many of the shorter distances (in spite of usually slowing down over longer races) did not have one single photo on the course? I think not. No reasonable person thinks its a coincidence. However, I am open to seeing and reviewing any photos or evidence that shows he was in fact on the course, excluding the start and finish lines.
13. The LVM Committee did NOT confirm nor did it state that they believed that Rossi ran the entire race, and they also did not say that they thought his time was accurate and did not say that they thought he did not cheat. Quite the opposite, as their statement said there was no conclusive evidence that his time was inaccurate. Saying or concluding a runner's time is accurate (and here is why we think so) is much different than saying that there was no conclusive evidence that a runner's time was inaccurate. In fact, they did not did provide any evidence that his time was accurate. Why not? But how could they? They did not have interim timing mats and there was not a photo to be found of him on the course. Moreover, they didn't even address the issue of photos in their statement. That is telling.
14. Other runners can at least point to time-stamped photos at various points on the course to say "there I am", which is more than can be said for Rossi! He can't. He hasn't. He refuses to!
15. The lack of photos of Rossi is arguably more damning than his time/pace time. Why? One can debate race times/pace, training etc., but there is no bias in continuous, time-stamped photos being taken by professional photographers there to capture every racer. That is not to say that race times/pace and training is not an important piece of evidence, it is, especially in light of his other race times, particularly his pace in 5k's.
16. The mere fact that the LVM Race Director decided to impanel a committee to "review" this debacle meant there was enough "probable cause" or suspicion to do so. Therefore, it is the LVM Committee's and Rossi's responsibility to provide the conclusive evidence that his time is accurate, not anyone else's to provide conclusive evidence that his time is inaccurate.
17. Of course this isnt any evidence that he ran the race or his time is inaccurate because the LVM abdicated its responsibility of ensuring accuracy and validity of the race times BEFORE the race by not having timing mats throughout the race course and AFTER the race by its flawed investigation, reasoning and statement.
18. Rossi claims to have photos and other exculpatory evidence to demonstrate that his time is accurate/ran the entire race. It is time for Rossi to provide any and all information that he claims to possess rather than just saying so. Saying so does not make it true. If he truly has such evidence, then there is no reason why he should not or would not share it. NONE. Failure to provide this information can only lead one to reasonably conclude that he is lying about this so called "evidence" and thus, he cheated and his time is inaccurate.
Hey Mike why don't you go eat a dick ok?
Your disrespect for children is absolutely disgusting. You are fcking piece of shit. I feel terrible for your family and hope that this shit doesn't stick to them.
It's bad enough to cheat at something and lie about it, but it is another thing to go after children. CHILDREN!!!!
You are a sick fck who bullies children as an adult. Scum. Fcking scum. GTFO.
Making pizza and being a wedding DJ or vidiot are the same. It is what you get when you don't do well in school.
mike rossi cheated to get a BQ.
Btw - Mike Rossi is a cheater. And, he makes a guy like Ken (who is a fat fool) look like a prince next to him.
Nice work Mike - you succeeded in making the stupid, non-running, fat f*ck Ken look good next to you. Ken wins.
Mike, Something coming that is not going to make you very happy.
Karma is a bitch.
I'll eat a dick I'm Mike
