| Mailbag:
Schizophrenia, Belly and Stefoney |
Day in Rock reports: We do read the email
that is sent in and we even post some of it from time to time so everyone
can enjoy it. Below are a few of the recent emails sent in commenting on
DiR or stories we ran. We removed the full names to protect the innocent,
stupid and guilty. (It's up to you to figure out which is which).
Re: Monday's story about the band Vulgar
Pang and their new CD "Pleasures of Schizophrenia".
Ann wrote: How dare you make fun people
that suffer from schizophrenia it is a serious illness and I can assure
you that there is no pleasure in it!
Response: Ann, please understand that the
Day in Rock had absolutely nothing to do with the naming of that album.
The band simply sent a press release and we reprinted it as a courtesy
to them and our readers that might enjoy that band. We would never make
light of such a serious disease, that would be nuts and besides the little
people told us they would kill us if we did.
Re: Past coverage of Kelly Osbourne
and some comments we may have made
Kelly wrote: Her name is KELLY not BELLY!
And she is NOT FAT! Just because you want girls to be sticks doesn't mean
a NORMAL girl like Kelly is FAT!
Response: Kelly, it is simply a play on
words, but you are right, while Belly is plump she is not obese (yet).
That being said when it comes time that Kelly Osbourne is held up as a
textbook example of a normal girl; Armageddon may just be upon us. Bob
help us all.
Re: Our stupid comments on some of the
stories
Many people wrote (Mostly Gwen Stefoney
fans): (paraphrased) Your comments are unnecessary and offensive.
Response: It's really the little people
that make those comments; we have no control over them. Sometime the stupidity
of pop/rap/rock stars (Gwen tries to be all) gets to them and they can
not help themselves but to make snide comments at the expense of said pop/rap/rock
star (and/or their fans). We have told the little people that you were
offended by these comments and they said you can kindly go fu….
See you tomorrow!
The little people
