Actual letter to the Oklahoman

[PhilTLL]

This one is a doozy. It showed up yesterday.

Only one God
Regarding "Tulsa rocker breaks ‘American Idol' record” (news story, May 22): Just take me to Bricktown Ballpark and release the hungry lions on me. I refuse to prostrate myself before Carrie Underwood and, now, David Cook because they're being called "gods.” I won't pay homage to them and pray to them or worship and revere them. They are mere humans and not worthy of being worshiped. There's only one God and He abhors Idols and other false gods.

Richard Reames, Oklahoma City

At first I thought "Surely this has to be satirical, there's no chance it isn't, is there?" And the unsettling conclusion was that it's probably legitimate. It's like reading the back pages from the 13th century around here sometimes.

Now I'm embarassed for prostrating myself in front of Carrie Underwood.

Is that what they're calling it now? "Prostrating"?

[stoops the eternal pimp]

I feel embarrassed for my prostate now

[Tulsa_Fireman]

My mama always said prostrating would make you go blind.

You sure that one wasn't written by the Oklahoman editorial staff?

Not as a fake, but as their actual opinion?

You see guys, this is what happens when you post drunk, then someone adds your real name and sends it to Letters to the Editor.

Now, NO MORE DRUNK POSTING.

It seems like sarcasm to me. The real fundies have no idea what American Idol is other than something that will doom the entire country to an eternity of sulfur and brimstone. And they might be right.

Yes Mamm

[Tulsa_Fireman]

So it's okay for Carrie Underwood to give me that happy feeling in my pants?

[NormanPride]

As long as you don't prostate.

Heh.

Just to be clear. After a year of mostly positive experience, in which I had decided to become an Elite Sponsor, I started the Hollis Board, I had a 46,000 spek rating based on real spek not betting over two season and 1500 posts, in the last four weeks I can see this board is a place I don't want to be or patronize. There are two other boards which I believe have at least equivalent football knowledge without the abusive environment. I am taking my business elsewhere.

I can't believe the editors would actually print that. Unless of course that is the highlight of the letters they have for the day, then sheez.

Nah, can't be. My dad sent them a letter saying the only reason he subscribes to their ****ty little rag is so he can get the local news. That being the case he would appreciate it if they could send all the sections of the paper to the house, not just two copies of section A, B, & C

... you know, that post could easily be turned into a letter to the Oklahoman as shown above

I subscribe just to get the Sunday paper for the ads. But now they give the thing to me every day. If anyone wants a free paper, come pick it up from yard I cause I'm not reading them, just leave the Sunday paper for me please.

I subscribed to the Oklahoman for a year up there. I called to tell them I cancelled and got it free another 3 years.

It's actually not a bag rag as far as local rags go. Easier to be picky for stories and sources on the Internet. Not always convenient to take your laptop into the crapper, though.

For a local rag? Sure, not that bad. For the primary newspaper of a major metropolitan area? Terrible.

Comparatively, the Anchorage Daily News, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and Des Moines Register beat the Daily Oklahoman all to hell and back. I'm not expecting the Oklahoman to compete with the LA Times or the Herald-Trib or anything, but jeez.
