Oscar castrates himself

The Academy celebrates niceness, bleeps out "bitch" and pats itself on the back for good behavior. And what did they do to poor Jon Stewart?

    What dingy cellar did Cintra crawl out of

    I've read some of the other letters (couldnt quite get through all 17 pages) and discovered that the author of this spiteful piece is someone everyone but me seems to be acquainted with. If this is a sample of his/her writing I'm merely glad I haven't been exposed before.

    As for the comments on Jon Stewart, I have to echo several others who wondered what show the reviewer watched. I watched most (not all) of the Oscars, something I haven't done for 4 or 5 years, precicely because Jon Stewart was hosting. I wasn't disappointed. I thought his opening monologue, or whatever one calls it, was hilarious and dead on. I also agree that the cowboy film clips and the other humorous film bits were well done. Cintra take your pseudo snobbery back to your cellar - please.
