A scandalous event which occurred sometime during 2010 at a local Canadian athletic club in the capital region, in which an elderly man reportedly made offensive remarks to female club members of varying ages. Of notability was a remark made to an underage female (less than 18 years of age), whose parents later filed a formal complaint. Shortly thereafter the man was allegedly banned from the club, and the term "shadophile" was coined.

Created by comedian, Pete Holmes. A shortcut phrase to be used when referencing a celebrity, place, or event as an example for something other than a well known negative issue about it. The idea is to avoid the negative event being a distraction from the point of the statement or story. It also acknowledges that the speaker is aware of the scandal, so that discussion is not necessary.
It's true that he ran a lot of yardage this season, and that's impressive. It doesn't beat the record still held by O.J. Simpson, Scandal Noted, of the record for the single-season yards-per-game average at 143.1.

It's interesting how almost 2 years ago, it was popular to accuse the Astros of cheating and everybody did it, and they became the scapegoat, discrediting their success, but now when just one team does it, the decision to accuse the Astros after their 5th in a row ALCS victory is ill-advised and unpopular, (which is a lot anybody that accuses them now being told to shut up about it already) making anybody who says anything about cheating the scapegoat, and discrediting any success they had against the Astros. 2 years can change a lot of things while nobdy is looking or paying attention.
The Astros cheating scandal went from being something popular to talk about 2 years and everybody was doing it, and the Astros weren't allowed to respond or stand up to the accusations, to now anybody accusing the Astros of cheating is not allowed to stand up to the Astros or say anything. It must have to do with the 50 million people can't be wrong mentality, either way. If that doesn't tell you the game is thrown and the system is rigged before it ever begins, then what does?

Created by Pete Holmes, comedian. While referencing a celebrity in a conversation for their popular unique quality, but not in relation to a current or past scandal, saying "scandal noted" acknowledges the issue, and avoids a tangent in the conversation.
"He did run a lot of yards during the this past season, but O.J. Simpson, scandal noted, still holds the record for single-season yards-per-game average. A record 143, that may never be broken."

In 2014, six up to as many as 8 Glenbard East Class of 1994 classmates were in a scandal when they learned they snubbed horror author turned Sen. Andrew Ian Dodge. There were several blog entries taking each one of them out The Sloping Companion was a blogger on Wordpress that knew of The Cabbie Homicide's guilty party a year before this was realized. The scandal was starting to unfold on The Glenbard East 20 Year Reunion Facebook group where the organizer realized the gravity of the scandal when Andrew Ian Dodge lost his battle with cancer on August 1, 2014. The highest profile classmate was the one who works for Phillips 66.
The plagiarism of The P 'o D was the last straw as one of them has as many as 3,000 followers on Linkedin. This was the Shadow Dolls Plagiarism Affair too close to home because there were several that were involved and lead to the mistreatment of the roster of The Ethereal Gazette: Issue Five. Then the mistreatment of the publishers who ran him then a few started running with the industry factions, "I am not going to treat you like a classmate, meaning you're not immune to scandal if you say something that causes blowback."

What is this scandal? The one known as Cancer Snub, it was coined by the light blue blog of his own classmates where "Pastor's Spouse", "The Infamy Raines," "Nazi Eyes With A Jesus Smile," "Faustian Bargain" and "The Controversy Of The Classmates" put all of them on the spot and then the Insane Journal location had a longer entry speaking of Lombard. Mutual classmate (hangs out in a larger group known as Voices in my Head) and a cousin egged a piece that became a sleeper on Wattpad. An Eye In Shadows was revised to lampshade the high profile scandal.
The Sloping Companion was completely humiliated by the controversial author as he found a photo of this one's mugshot then flipped him off on camera then uploaded the thing. "Should had spoke up about me being plagiarized you fucking drug dealer." The wife of the subject of that blog entry was saying he was on par to Stephen Glass when she saw that entry. The barbs were critical shots. The scandal was chronicled on new media only. It was blown wide open when An Eye In Shadows was revised in 2014 to keep the integrity of the 2008 revisions using The Chicago Tribune reports from the era to further give historic accuracy. The scandal didn't make it to The Tribune but those who knew about it, they told others don't intervene when other classmates interacted with the roster of The Ethereal Gazette: Issue Five. This was dubbed Cancer Snub Scandal on Classmates.com.
