The 'official' letter isn't that much better. It's just more polite about it.

LOL did you steal that from FARK?

Nah, but I saw it there later. I saw an article about it on CNN a few days ago and did some more looking.

Ah but still you visit! Do you go to the free Fark or do you subscribe to TotalFark like me? hehe gotta love those boobies.....

And its funny how on my AOL welcome screen the "features" they highlight were yesterday's news stories from FARK! haha!

Just the free one, just to visit from time to time, aleviating boredom.

Oh, sweet fucking Jesus. Because of course, white people should have no opinion whatsoever about the relative merits of nonwhite performers, and if they do it's automatically somehow "racist" even if the preferred performers are also black.

FUUUUUUUUUUUCK. GRRRRRRRRR ARGH SMASH

So stupid on so many angles.

Many of the people who "sounded off" on the MTV website were in the same narrow minded avenue as the show producers.

"It was probabally just that he was jealous, and his friends came and signed the petition." and other such tripe.

I think that once this all settles out, this show will either get really high or really low ratings, depending on if the negative publicity works as publicity, or if it works as a rallying cry towards boycott.

Some people just don't know when to shut up.

I read, the, original, letter, and was, surprised, how horrible the, author's use, of, grammar was.

I never knew that "super-popular", "super-hot", AND "uncommonly beautiful" were all requirements to win a musical "artist of the year" award.

Sounds to me like the webmaster or other employee (probably a programmer or some other non-PR person) who first noticed this was a big fan of this Ashanti person, and was enraged to see his lust interest getting any negative attention.

I hate people like that. :P
