A Savage Christmas Part II
But first, a message from your humble archivist, the Scanner Bitch
There was a lot of response to my introductory comments to last week's flashback.
Many people took offense to my choice a the word used to describe the most lovable minority:
| Dear Sir, I must strongly protest your use of the word "tard" and "retard" to describe those born with this terrible malady. I cannot imagine a more disparaging way to refer to another member of the human race. Tim Hamilton Regional Director National Association for the Advancement People Who Are Just Plain Mental |
| Dear Tim, How about "scanner bitch"? Jay |
Also, my remarks regarding Randy Quaid's career choice of playing a vast array of retards drew fire:
| Dear Mr. Naughton, Randy Quaid is a gifted actor with a unique look affords him the rare opportunity to play the role of the developmentally challenged, does not mean he "plays the tard card" (as you put it). Please rescind your remarks. Edward Reigel President, Baltimore Chapter Randy Quaid International Fan Club |
| Dear E.R., I would gladly rescind my remarks about Randy Quaid, however I must take this opportunity to promote National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure premiering Saturday, December 20th on NBC starring Randy Quaid, and co-starring his massive forehead. Jay |
These two areas of complaints congealed together nicely in this e-mail received just yesterday.
| Dear Mr. Naughton, WE AM THE SPASE PEEPOLE! WE AM THE SPASE PEEPOLE! WE AM THE SPASE PEEPOLE! Sincerely, The Retarded Fans of That Faux Retard, Randy Quaid |
This discussion in now way leads us into our Chritmas-themed flashback, a sequel to last year's Christmas Flashback, A Savage Christmas (found on the main Flashbacks page). R. Bruce Moody's follow-up (featuring the most beautifully-written, yet incredibly disturbing look at Santa's homelife ever published) will warm your hearts and loins.
