Since your so steeled to the horrors of cyberspace,
then why don't you re-read my e-mails, you dumb assed
ignorant prick (I don't really mean that, but you
apparently have a much thicker skinned than I), and
all of the other jizz gurgling idiots (again, I'm just
writing in language that you can apparently take and I
cannot), and realize that what I, and others, have
complained about is context.
I'm obviously in the minority here, but I didn't think
that making fun of Heather Mills was really worth
posting on this list. The majority apparently doesn't
want to address this and continues to discuss 'well,
there's a lot of tasteless stuff on the 'Net.' This
is true, but has nothing to do with the content of
this list. Please address the point in context,
instead of creating a strawman.
And everyone, please go out and rent The Aristocrats
-- it's really funny...
