Letters to the Editor

a real man
My partner has hair all over his body, is a great handler of tools, has a huge dick, and loves to talk abou this feelings. He is never angry, never argues, and is always courteous. He is kind, decent,has sex everyday, and votes Democratic--he also reads the Nation. Now that's what I call a real man!
-
ok but
I sing, dance, laser my legs and underarms, and like to have sex with women. Now that's manly.
-
Real men
don't have to publish books or websites about it, or even call attention to it.
Maddox both has, and is, a dick. So he's making money off stuck-in-their-adolescence guys. He's not the first person to get rich by appealing to morons. Sooner than later his new best bud will be named ED. ;)

FYI Maddox
That silly little facial hair combo you have there? It's called "prison pussy." Think about it. You are so latent and so good at projecting your fear of whom you are. I give it 6 months before you're outed.

Funny and Harmless
Maddox is hilarious and anything but a right-wing misogynist.
I am a woman (not an "I'll laugh at sexist jokes so men will like me" one) -- but humor is humor. Virtually EVERYTHING can be funny and every member of every "group" is fair game IF the person telling the joke, or in this case ranting in big white letters, is obviously not some genuine conservative Bush-voting idiot who believes his own putrid sexist, racist, anti-gay, buffoonish garbage.
If you are such a person and enjoy Maddox because you think he "gets it" about the hippies, homos, and feminazis, all the funnier. You don't know you're being laughed at, not with.
I became a fan when Maddox's classic O'Reilly vs Franken rant was circulating. I always end up laughing out loud when I visit his site.

Send in the clowns!
The first five letters are utterly hilarious. This article will be sure to bring out all the loons. Nice job Salon. Really, what a terrific read. Still, many times the letter writers eclipse the articles they're commenting on. I can't wait until tomorrow so that I can read a hundred more thoughtful missives on partners with "huge cocks who love to handle tools" and men who laser their underarms. Priceless.

Bye-bye, machismo
I'm a feminist who has always cringed at misogynist humor-- but this looks different. Maddox openly admits the jig is up for machismo, and that's the reason for making fun with it--to make it easier for guys to say goodbye to it. That's it's so far gone, they might as well have fun with the memory as it recedes into the past.
Maddox sounds sanguine that his readers are all in on the joke as he laughs his way to the bank. Well, I sure hope so. It's better to laugh it off in retrospect than go all fascist about it. This all reminds me of nothing so much as Twisted Sister: mild-mannered guys pretending to be way scarier than they are.

This guy is funny
That's the diff vs. Anne Coulter, the lunatic. The whore joke was hilarious. I mean, if you walked into a bar and told that in front of fifty people they would probably all laugh, definitely the women. It's funny. Thanks to Traister for the interview. She did a remarkable job of not foaming at the mouth.

"But can I be a humorless feminist for a moment".....
For a moment?
That is the funniest part of the article. Thanks for the chuckle, Rebecca.

Pirates RULE
I've been reading Maddox for nearly a decade now.
If you don't understand the humor then you are simply dense.
The whole rant about childern's pictures, or the classic "I'll eat three animals for everyone that you don't"
What sets Maddox apart for the Coulters of the World is that Maddox actually does far more research than Ann does. Maddox checks his facts, and is humorous.
Do I laugh at everything he does, of course not. But that's the point, he doesn't pick sides or care who he pisses off, so he comes across as more believable.

His humor seems really young
But how can someone who voted for Perot be only 28? Or did I misread something?

---------------------------------------
Perot ran in 1992 and 1996. If someone is 28 today, he'd be 18 in 1996 and eligible to vote.
Unlike Ann Coulter who commited perjury and lied about her age in 1980 in order to vote for Reagan.

Maddox
I can easily say this is the most surprising interview I've ever seen on Salon, and I'm glad about it, I've loved Maddox's site for years! And yes, I'm a female and have a lot of feminist views, yet still find his site extremely funny. Up until this book planning/release, though, his site never even struck me as something for males over females, just a site to make fun of idiots of either gender. I know this interview was focused on his book, but I have a feeling a lot of people who read it who haven't seen his site first will have a really different opinion of him than his long time fans. I always found his movie reviews to be some of the funniest parts of his site, and they're definitely proof that his humour is not sophomoric or focused on misogyny. Hopefully some of the more outraged readers of this interview will look at more sections of his site before they start inciting riots.

Hag Coulter

IMDB list's Dan Coulter's birth date as December 1961.

Coulter's Connecticut driver's license lists her birth as December 1961.
The hag is plenty old to vote for Reagan in 1980.

Would have been nice if the interviewer had dug a hair deeper,
with regard to both Maddox's famed site and his actual personality vs. the ( casual outsiders'???) percieved view of his online persona. I enjoyed seeing this peice, though. Thank you, Salon.

AC's Birthdate issue
IMDB list's Dan Coulter's birth date as December 1961.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1326010/
Coulter's Connecticut driver's license lists her birth as December 1961.
The hag is plenty old to vote for Reagan in 1980.
--------------------------
She also has a Washington DC driver's license showing her birth date as December 1963.
She confirmed to the Washington Post that she was born in 1963.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A43120-2002Sep5?language=
So, she's either stupidly lying about her age now, including on officials documents to get a driver's license, or she lied in 1980 and the statue of limitations has long since passed.
Now, a 40 year old women claiming to be younger is nothing newsworthy, but most don't actually get a driver's license with the wrong birth year, then point to that document as being the correct one.
