A Fall From Grace?
Dear Stupidocles,
All along I thought you were just a complete idiot that me, my husband Pho and our precious little Trippy could laugh at and ridicule together as a family, but now you've shown us you're also a misogynistic chauvinist with a cynical outlook on male-female relationships. Judging from your last three entries it seems you've abandoned your family-friendly fare for some "edgy" new stupidity. What kind of message is Trippy supposed to get when he sees a cartoon with a woman stuck under the Christmas tree? And personal ads? Did that loser bribe you to post his personal ad on your website? I'm all for entrepreneurship, but that's a little low. And the level of violence suggested lately exceeds anything I've seen since Guido's advice column appeared in your blog. You even fantasize about beating up poor, little, defenseless old ladies in your most recent entry. You've stepped over the line, buster! Speaking on behalf of your readers, we expect stupidity from you, but if you wish to keep us around, it must be stupidity in good taste. As for me and my family, we will look elsewhere for someone to make fun of, unless you change your ways. You owe your readers an apology!
With Righteous Indignation,Susan Doe-Phan
Well, well, Sue Doe-Phan. Times certainly have changed since you penned your ode of praise to me. However, no artist can remain the same or else they run the risk of becoming stagnant. You're like a fan who expects an awesome rock band's every album to sound the same and complains when the awesome rock band's style changes due to the natural process of maturing and evolving musically over the years. I still have my own awesomely inane vision, and there are plenty of others who still appreciate that vision. Listen to this guy (It's things like this that keep me going in the hard times.):
For those of you without audio capability, here is the text in full:
In recognition for deeds of imagined valor
in hand-to-hand combat
against feisty and malevolent grannies
possessing superhuman strength and murderous intent...
And for standing firm in the UGLY face of abusive verbiage,
I hereby bestow upon you the honorable medal

if i'm not mistaken, sue doe-phan's "ode of praise" is linked directly back to my own xanga site to some older, and less entertaining, blog entries. it may surprise you to know that those blogs were in no way meant as an ode of praise for you. i am sorry if they were misconstrued as such.
however, in the face of such opposition to your site and various unadvice columns, i still remain a loyal subscriber.
Hmm...That's weird. On mine it links to exactly what it is supposed to (a previous entry on my own blog). I wonder how I can get it to work properly on others.
I think what happened is that I constructed the links while I was signed in, and so it was set to just default to that date on the user's/reader's own xanga. I hypothesize that it would have done the same to any other signed-in xanga-ite who tried to follow the links. I have re-cut & pasted the link from 3/14/05 (Guido's advice column) and 7/21/05 (Sue Doe-Phan's poem) while not signed in, so hopefully that has corrected the problem. If anyone happens to check it again, let me know if it works now. Thanks!
