I could not agree more (OK, maybe I could agree more) with your well-researched and, frankly, too-long in coming article on the lack of Bugs in Warner Bros. stores. My poor 50-year-old mother is absolutely insane for the rabbit. Has been since she was a kid (this is a together woman) anyway she asks me to go to the Warner store near me to pick up a Bugs sticker for her bike. The drooling high-schooler working the counter looked at me as if I was insane when I asked where they keep the Bugs stickers. She pointed me to some sick Taz merchandise and walked away. Warner Bros. is not only denying their heritage, they are depriving my mother of her very happiness!
Keep up the good work!

Senya

Senya, I feel we're now close enough that I can tell you I cried when I read your letter. That's why we're sending out this long-distance dedication, "Baby, I'll Treat You Right" by Smoove B, out to you and your whole family. Hope it helps.

This is just my two cents worth. A famous fashion designer once quoted that the greatest crime of the current generation is STANDARDization. I have to agree. The 'net would if one less of a microbe if you guys didn't stand against the flow. You know, losing your individuality, your opinions and all that. What I like about this mag is that diversity thrives and people would have SOME place to go to at the end of the day to just scream out their frustrations. It's the 'net after all; no one is actually getting hurt. In fact, I think it actually reduces the chances of someone blowing off his rocker and taking it out on the guy beside him. This page should exist for more reasons than I can think of. Even the ruling party needs opposition to keep it alert and on its toes. At least you guys don't churn out polished-candy, idiotically simple crap and expect us to swallow hook, line, and sinker. Whatever, I agree with diversity. Pretty interesting autobio you've got, too. Keep the juices flowing and thanks for censoring most of the profanities ,etc. so it gets readable.

P.S. Maybe you should try attending a good church, cuz worship could really change a person's attitude, mind, you get the pic. Anyway, all the best. From: Karen C.

Thanks, Karen. But do you really think the web would be missing a WHOLE MICROBE if we disappeared? -ed.

Why don't you publish more often a letters to the editor section, especially the entertaining letters from the 13-year-old girls that hate you so much. They brighten my day.

S. Casty

People say those letters are nasty. But I enjoy them. Then again, I'm deeply needy. -ed.

What is with everyone thinking that just because you hate something, you must be jealous of it? Most times you hate something because...well...it SUCKS! I think too many people have watched the Brady Bunch, and listened to Mrs. Brady's idiotic ideas that "people who don't like you are just jealous".

Alphax the Dimensional Rapist

Dimensional rapist, huh? What does that mean, you're like a, uh, a Z-AXIS, right? Bwah hah hah hah! Hey, come one, didn't anyone take math? Anyone? anyone?...Okay, back to Hanson! -ed.

In response to the letter by patrick@urbancheese.com, I feel that his/her theory is completely correct. Not only are numerous spelling errors a sign of an I.Q. lower than the 100 average, but reverse caps and random capitalization are also warning signs. I believe a study needs to be done on this subject.

Onion

To be fair, Onion, we should point out that most anti-Hanson letters had more than their share of mis-spellings and random capitalization, also. Which prompts the question, to paraphrase Ben Kenobi: who is more foolish, the fool or the fool who likes Silverchair? -ed.

Hang on..let me get in my AOL mode...HANSON SUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HI MY NAME IS RONALD I'M 12/M CHAT WiTH ME IF YOU THINK HANSON SUX.
OK, now that thats out of the way...
Actually, my name is NOT Ronald, my name is Kacey, and I'm 16, not 12, and I am NOT a male. But I DO think that Hanson is awful. Overplayed is an understatement. People shouldn't sing before they get pubes. basically. Hanson exists to provide something for 10 year old girls to moisten over, pin-ups for TeenBeat, and to go on talk shows about "child wonders." Their right up there with the Moffats...pushed by the media because people will think its cute. thats enough of my letter, and I cant wait for all the responses about how jealous I am that I'm not as talented as Hanson, and how I must be a wuss, blah blah blah.

Kacey Donovan

We're all for singing before you get your pubes. Actually, we don't really have a specific reason why we don't like Hanson. They just weird us out. -ed.
