Strongly Worded Letter to The Colbert Report
Over at the beard contest, things have really gotten off to a fun start in the New Year.
Yesterday was "Beard Charades". You post a picture and people guess which phrase, movie, etc you are referring too. Can you guess mine? Don't read the comments 'till you've made your guess:
I had a blast trying to guess some of them. I got Davis' correct, but only after a lot of thinking.
Today, wilcoxjd posted his "Strongly Worded Letter to the Colbert Report" taking issue with Colbert's inclusion of "Men with Beards" on Colbert's "Dead To Me" board.
See the video on Comedy Central's "Motherload." (It's the one called "A Glaring Omission".)
here's' the letter wilcoxjd sent:
A STRONGLY WORDED LETTER TO THE COLBERT REPORT
Mr. Colbert,
Normally, I am "hip" to your subtle brand of news, politics and daily show knock offs. I find your humor irreverent and normally insightful, and WELL DESERVING of your 11:30 pm, cable-network time slot.
however, i was disappointed to see your "Dead to Me" list on the 9.1.06 show. While certain things on the list certainly deserved to be there, your inclusion of "Men With Beards" was disturbing and, well, slightly irresponsible.
As a member of the Whiskerino 2005 community and a long time bearded man, I was hurt by your anti-beardism - are you not aware that with your MASSIVE audience of late night cable TV addicts and stoned out college students, that such inclusion of bearded men on your list is, essentially, you giving carte blanche for people to commit hate crimes against us, your bearded brethren. In a time period of such blatant discrimination against the bearded, your inclusion of us on your list is irresponsible and, well, painful.
WE WILL NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS UPON THE BEARDED AND WE WILL NOT BE MOCKED BY THE LIKES OF YOU, GOOD SIR.
I invite you to take some time and come to our bearded community (www.whiskerino2005.com) and find out, first, how much you might like growing a beard, and secondly, just how nice your bearded brethren are.
Hairily Yours,
wilcoxjd
