David Sugerman: 219 letters in 9 days. Enough Said.
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Mr. Sugerman,
You have written 219 letters to Salon since 4/4. Give it a rest already. You are incoherent and tiresome. How someone with so little to say takes so many opportunities to say nothing is beyond me. Shut off your computer and go for a walk.
Thanks.

Wow. Yours is bigger than mine.

"arthurlee66, ONE letter, TOTAL
(and couldn't even get my name right. sugar, as in... sugar). is this the sum total of your thoughts? got it! no sugarman. fine. now you can go back to sleep.

Yeah, you got me beat. One letter in the two hours since I registered compared to your over 220 in 9 days. I have other stuff to do in my life besides write over 24 letters a day to a website. Apparently, you don't. Oh, and complaining about typos online is the height of pedantry. Notice I don't complain about your horrible sense of composition, sentence structure or capitalization. Because those don't really matter! What you say matters. Very occasionally you have something interesting to add. Mostly it's just a bunch of incoherent ranting as though you're going to get to the bottom of this issue and solve it right here, right now. Good luck on that one.

no acknowledgement of correction?
[Read the article: Rapist No. 1 action figure]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I only read this for the first time just now and the gender references in the article are correct. Radosh's comment implies that the article was corrected re: Perez's gender and they didn't even acknowledge that it was corrected?! That's pretty lame. The author even goes out of her way to say that Perez made an error in saying you could get the toy at Toys R Us, and then doesn't even acknowledge her own (much larger)error. So... let's see. Calling a movie you haven't even seen misogynistic, and getting the gender wrong of a blogger you reference. And then instead of sheepishly admitting that you made a boo boo, you stealthily correct the error without even mentioning it. Class act. Tell me again why I would want to read Broadsheet?
Anyone watch Conan? Lifetime :: Cable TV
as Broadsheet :: Salon.com.

Brits have a long history of smarts and silliness combined.
[Read the article: "Hot Fuzz"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Ever heard of Monty Python? Peter Sellers? The Goons and all the rest of those surreal, hyperliterate tv comedies the UK was pumping out since the 50s? Heck, what about Lewis Carroll? The Office?
I haven't seen Hot Fuzz yet, but I did quite like Shaun of the Dead. I know Pegg and the other guy's stuff is different than the stuff I mention above, but I bet they have been influenced by some of it. The point is, I never thought smarts and silliness were mutually exclusive. It's not exclusively British, either. Although off the top of my head I can't think of much American smart/silly stuff besides Firesign Theater, and to me they were always more amusing than laugh out loud funny. The Brits do seem to have a knack for this type of comedy, though. Must have something to do with the bad teeth and penchant for cross-dressing. That's a joke people.

Don't you have some sex for pay to go attend to? Nice blog by the way.

Check your prescription, Jim.
[Read the article: Senators to Gonzales: Start remembering]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Over at msnbc.com that's a picture of Harry Reid, not Dick Cheney. They're both old white guys, but they don't look too similar to me. And that halo is the ceiling pattern, kind of questionable photo composition. I just did a quick Google check and couldn't find it, but I remember a photo of Condi Rice about a year or so ago at cnn, I think, where she was standing in front of some sort of seal or crest on the wall behind her. It made it appear as though she had angel wings. Wait a second, halos? wings? What is going on here?

Sorry, spoke too soon.
[Read the article: Senators to Gonzales: Start remembering]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Apologies, Jim. I see they have 2 photos at msnbc.com. One of Cheney, and one of Reid, both with the weird radiating halo background. So, I guess they are being "fair and balanced" as you said.

I know I have the Condi photo I mentioned saved on my pc at work. I'll post it tomorrow if anyone cares. Not a riveting topic, but kind of funny photos.

"Europe" has a law?
[Read the article: A new low for Giuliani]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Europe has a law against Holocaust deniers. There is a reason for this, not being the past, but the fear of the threats posed by another ugly future.
Why can't we have the same law for GOP scumdogs like that neoNazi Guiliani and his ilk accusing Dems of allowing the slaughter of Amrecans or being Al Quaida sympathizers. The past may prove this a complete lie, but it is the future, if this lie was believed that is the real threat.
-- Dawggone"
I get your point, but saying "Europe has a law" is like saying "Asia has a law". There's a whole bunch of countries in Europe. They don't all share the same laws. Are you referring to some requirement for EU membership or something similar?

What did you expect? Singer /songwriter Britney?
[Read the article: "Stripperific" Britney's back]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Now if she'd come out with a guitar and sang some new songs she wrote while in rehab, that would be mindblowing. I don't think she has it in her for any sort of creative reinvention of her artistic product. All she knows how to do is shake her ass and dance while speaking those weird processed "vocals". She doesn't "sing". Even when it actually is her live voice, unlike this House of Blues gig was, supposedly. $125 for a 20 minute lip-synched performance? Maybe she was hoping to prompt a confrontation with the audience?
What a let down. I was really entertained with the notion that she might comeback as some challenging confrontational artist and shock everyone. But no, back to the same ole, same ole.
And I'm with the previous poster on tattoos and head shaving. Cutting yourself, burning yourself, etc is defacing your body.
