I'm suspecting Cintra was exhausted after her long podcast and wasn't in top form. Lack of sleep can do that to you. Her article, while witty, was heavy on bitterness and she only succeeded in alienating the majority of your readers.
Cintra, if you nailed it, I'd give you all the credit in the world, but "no cleavage"? Tons of it--Dolly Parton was a guest, fer crissakes. "Jon sold out"? He did a commendable job and that seemed to be the general concensus. If he wishes to be invited back, it's in his best interest to not piss all over the red carpet lining Hollywood Bvld. To harp on about the lack of swearing in "It's Hard out here for a Pimp" when its misogyny was celebrated and rewarded for God-knows-what merit just blows my mind. I could go on, but I think the 150+ letters you have received just about cover it.
It's unfair for readers to accuse Cintra of submitting this prior to the awards, though, as her piece contains observations she couldn't have known otherwise, unless she's moonlighting on some 1-800-psychic hotline.
