Subject: NEW!! Angry, Illiterate, Skeptics - Form Letter
Dear Ken,
I’ve been perusing your site regularly for a while now. I find it enormously
entertaining and often educational; though I must say I appreciate it mostly
for it's ability to consistently expand the realm of possibility. I question
what I read here all the time, but I wouldn't feel particularly compelled
to write you a damning letter unless I knew for a fact that what you were
publishing was verifiably untrue. Anyway, I’m becoming increasingly
concerned that many skeptics out there are trying to get a point across to
you, but they can't because they have a vocabulary of one hundred-fifty words
or less. Thus, I feel I would be remiss if I did not provide, as a public
service, an easy-to-use form letter that they are all welcome to use to express
their dissatisfaction with educate-yourself.org.
Dear Editor,
I recently came across an article you published on your website on the subject
of <insert subject> I am a twenty<inert age> year old American
male, who has garnered a wealth of human experience, by spending countless
hours behind a school desk, in front of a television, and -most recently-
in a 5 foot square cubicle. I consider myself to be an extremely well-rounded
person as a result of my manifold experiences, and thus like to think of myself
as quite the authority on the subject of <insert subject>.
It is in my opinion that <insert name> is obviously mentally imbalanced
if he thinks that <insert subject> is a reality in our modern, civilized,
educated world. I have never seen <insert subject> on television, never
heard about it in any classroom I've ever been in, and I certainly haven't
seen any such evidence of it’s veracity evinced anywhere in my cubicle.
Thus, <insert subject> is a load of crap and <insert name> should
be strung up by his/her genitalia by the office of homeland security.
I am very angry –nay, livid- with you, Ken Adachi, for publishing such
dangerous notions as there are many lesser-minded people who are not equipped
with my vast breadth of experience to be able to distinguish this excrement
from reality. You are exploiting their ignorance our of your own selfishness.
Therefore, I suggest that you should <insert expletive> your <insert
expletive>, you filthy commie, terrorist, hippie, liberal <insert expletive>,
and leave journalism to those best qualified – like Bill O’Reilly
or Dan Rather.
Sincerely,
<insert name>
PS: you should reconsider renaming your website <insert explitive>-yourself.org
