Ha. They ran the letter.

[substitute]

Even dragged out Arellano to spew some token street Spanish at me. Plus beavo-buttheadian name jokes!

HAHA name jokes, they clearly agree with your entire letter.
Oh man, I haven't even bothered to pick up a weekly in five years.

YR LETTER

[klikitak.livejournal.com]

Its funny cause its truuuuuuuuuue!

[pilarcruz.livejournal.com]

Oooh snap. They owned you.

[travisd.livejournal.com]

huh huh huh huh huh -- you said "beavo-buttheadian"

[burntcurtis.livejournal.com]

That is the best. Also, we need some time together.

[springheel-jack.livejournal.com]

Well, they tried. I gotta give their reply a two out of ten, though, and not just because I like you. The tactic was sad and threadbare.

[threepunchstuff.livejournal.com]

Good of them to run it. Interesting that other than Arellano, none of the grown-ups chimed in.

[salome-st-john.livejournal.com]

Also interesting that Arellano fired off even though he was one of the only singled out for not being craptastic. Maybe it was his attempt at maintaining staff solidarity.

[salome-st-john.livejournal.com]

Wow, fabulous typing there. Should be: "even though he was one of the only ones".

[vanmojo.livejournal.com]

Outstanding! Their crack-back was pretty weak...especially for a mag that just ran (another) cover on female augmentation surgery... that's some [insert horrible sexist pun here] journalism...

huhuhuhuhuh he said 'insert'

[gcrumb.livejournal.com]

"beavo-buttheadian" Heh. Heheh.

[dr-strych9.livejournal.com]

Can anybody please translate the español Arellano used into Amurrican for a poor ignunt brother who don't speak foreigner?

p.s. I remember when OCWeekly was new. I was shocked that something like that could get published in Orange County, and I readjusted my expectations accordingly. The cynic inside me said it wouldn't last, and the bastard was right. It's fscking depressing to see OCWeekly descend into such abject craptacularity.

He say you brade rana!

[substitute.livejournal.com]

Basically the street spanish version of "fuck you in the fucking goat hole, you fucking faggot asshole! Bub-bye."

Now translate your icon.

I love that they unselfconsciously demonstrate the key points of your letter in their replies.

[klikitak.livejournal.com]

I do have to give them props for groundbreaking muckracking on pioneers such as:

too bad they won't take it to heart. i still read that rag, it's often entertaining, rarely informative anymore.

good try though.
