They got some hate mail:
Hate Mail
You really know that you've made an impact on the web when you start receiving hate mail. As such receiving hate mail makes us quite happy and gives us a warm fuzzy feeling, probably the opposite effect from what it's author's expect. Most, (that is to say all,) of the hate mail we receive however, seems to have been written by badly trained monkeys with the intellectual capacity of a dung beetle. So as a service to the communtity we feel that we should share the hate-filled joy so that other people can have a laugh too. Enjoy.

All hate mail published unedited and in full.

Hate Mail Regarding "Where's Saddam"

Due to the fact that ALL of our hate mail so far has been about where's Saddam, we feel that we should probably issue an apology. If you want to watch it please click here. (This is for adults only.)

Wow! An AOL user who can use copy and paste AND managed to type his email address properly. Pity he forgot punctuation. Ah well.

From: IHappenToLoveAmerica (upyours@hotmail.com)
Message Body: Your "Where is Saddam" is very rude and VERY disresepctful. Take your warped sense of humor and shove it up your ass!

Oh silly us. We forgot that a politician who can't even manage to get 50% of the electorate in his own country to vote for him deserves unquestioning international respect. Remind us to reattend our mindless patriotism for the sake of it class.

From: Joey (joeyppppp@yahoo.com)
Message Body: F*ck you Gordon. If i ever see you i'll murder your ass. do not talk about George Bush.

Hey, what has my mule got to do with this. If your going to kill anyone is should be me. Animal abuser!

From: patricia wenmohs (patricia.wenmohs@sheppard.af.mil)
Message Body: i think you where's saddam pop up was horrible. is there supposed to be some kind of meaning behind it? personally it struck me as very disrepectful of not only our president, but of our country. try again that was not funny. sincerely, camille wenmohs

Hmm. Bit of an identity crisis going on here. What is it, Patricia or Camille? Either way the fact that you work for the US military is more than slightly worrying. No wonder there are so many friendly fire incidents!

They issued thgis apology :


http://www.ohdear.net/splashdown/apology.php

for having the spewed coffee cleaned off my keyboard!! Dear God, that was funny!

Love that folk music!

The apology was the best. They should send it to the idiot at the WH.

I love it! Great apology.

Was that neccessary?

Thousands of dead Iraqis, hundreds of dead US soldiers, billions of dollars wasted...and THAT'S disturbing? WHATever.

I think it may be the single greatest artistic achievement of our times. ;)

I got the idea. Yes, Dumbya is horrifying in that he is, as he has so much said himself, solely responsible for the monstrosity that is our Iraq invasion.

It was shocking, though in a physical sense. I am not convinced that it made the horror of GeeDub any more authentic and at the same time it resorted to uninspired shock value.

And it jangled my nerves. :smoke:

that's fair enough...I thought you were speaking of the "apology" moreso than the "Where's Sadaam"...;)

of the barricades.

too funny. now i can't get that damn song out of my head.

The flash was not that great.. I cannot believe that people took the time to complain about it.. Tha apology was so funny>:)

On edit:

Normally I object to the use of the "C" word by males. It's kind of like the "N" word being used by whites (to me).
In this context though, I'll make the exception...

should be beaten with their keyboards. :eyes:

SoCal, I now worship those loveable Scots.

the original animation wasn't that funny, but the hate mail and apology was hilarious.

I love it, the apology is just so meaningful

:kick:

It's obviously an insult, but perhaps the Brits on board can enlighten us as to what it actually means. It sounds like a useful term, and I'd like to be able to use it correctly. }(


I can't wait for the hate mail from the apology!

It basically means someone who is severly mentally disabled to the extent that they cannot do the most basic things themselves.

Welcome to DU

A fellow Brit?

One of the Scot's behind the animation in question.

To the person who commented that the maker's of silence scream animation's should be beaten with their keyboards, don't worry, I've done it already for you. :-)

Your apology is wonderful..:):)

Stick around.. you will like it here :)


ps.. Hope we did not crash your server :).. There are lots of people here who love this stuff :)

a wonderful animation and even though I am not a Scot I love the bagpipes much to my wife's displeasure.
