Regarding the New Spite Design

Dearest Will and Spite Staffers -

Just checked out the new Spite and man, oh man, am I a happy camper or what? I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new format. (Do you care?)

Gone are the obligatory disjointed multi-track Gestalt graphics that you TV generation types feel compelled to include with every tiny bit of communication even when the communication is about words and thoughts and linear junk like that (as James Carville once said... "It's the words, stupid.").

Wow - something written in the 90's that we can actually read and follow and think about (not that anyone would want to admit that they actually read and/or care about Spite, but dammit, we do).

We're bordering on literacy here, folks. Pretty shaky ground for a lot of the Gen X'ers and Slackers in the audience... Keep up the good work.

(Hope this compliment was Spiteful enough to be taken seriously.)

Massmedia'd

Praise, however sappy, is always accepted here, MM. And then THROWN BACK IN YOUR FACE. WHAT IN THE HELL DO YOU MEAN "BORDERING ON LITERACY"? THIS SHIT IS DEEP, WOMAN! AND WE DON'T NEED YOUR SEAL OF APPROVAL TO SAY SO, EITHER!

Oh, wait, were those x's and o's? Oooh! How sweet! Never mind. -ed.
