 Gutterland Mailbag: Rabid WTC Freakout Edition Monday, July 17, 2006
You can count on From our overbrimming inbox: Alright your newsgroup or whatever the hell you call it (I simply call it a shithole.) freaking sucks! You guys are morons who do not even take the time to look into the facts BEFORE writing an article. I noticed that you claim that the Team Twin Towers wants to build "replicas" of the original Twin Towers. That is an exaggerated lie on your behalf, and complete bullshit! Look at all the pictures of the entries on the contest page and notice that none of them are the exact originals! You would have to be blind to belief that they are! I don't fucking care if you guys delete this mail or not, however I just figured you should know why everybody wants to destroy your shitty excuse for a website. And the beat goes on. · Design Identical Twins or We Kill the Kids [The Gutter] Reader Comments (12 extant) 1. Kinda tough on you all, isn't she (sounds like a she, doesn't it). Don't let it get you down. I still love you. I mean it. I do. By Anonymous at July 17, 2006 1:59 PM2. i did look at the contest page, and all of the "designs", if you can actually call them that, are horrible. it is a completely retarded competition, and this is reinforced by the quality of the selections that made the top five. i think i am actually became dumber looking at them. By yeahyeah at July 17, 2006 2:02 PM3. and if you really want to feel like sticking rusted coat hangers in your eye sockets, check out Peter Cook's website (see gutter rant above this) 4. 72 contestants to this competition would make a dandy female Al-Qaeda terrorist destiny...all arrested-adolescence male virgins... By Adam Sobolak at July 17, 2006 8:47 PM5. So Nelson Rockefeller was an "arrested-adolescence male virgin"? By anonymous at July 18, 2006 9:02 AM6. Oh Adam. One should be careful the links he puts up. Here are some quotes from articles on your site, which I assume you advocate: "Americans should not be eager to see anything else built on this site." That idea is about as infantile as the next: "If the terrorist gang had not plotted to destroy them, Silverstein or one of his associates may have." That says it all right there. Silverstein may have plotted 9/11? Ummm....rrrright (Dr. Evil voice). You should watch who you call names when you post the most anti-tall-building, conspiracy theory-laden garbage on your site. By anonymous at July 18, 2006 10:00 AM7. this website does suck, but that's why we're all here, isn't it? what else am i gonna do with my time when i'm sitting at my desk during lunch? the website sucks, i suck, my lunch sucks... it's perfect!!! By ron at July 18, 2006 4:00 PM8. If they had made a determination to rebuild the towers to the original forms, wouldn't they be nearing completion by now? By @rt at August 15, 2006 2:54 AM9. "You should watch who you call names when you post the most anti-tall-building, conspiracy theory-laden garbage on your site." ======================= Belated response. Keep in mind that the quotes are *not* from my own pieces, and that they exist on the site might as well be Voltairean for all anyone cares, i.e. not my own opinion per se, but spew away anyway. If anything, my own "9-11 as an Al-Qaeda-to-Aguilera wannabe-Duchampian autoerotic experience garbage" ought to be more contentious than the "anti-tall-building, conspiracy theory-laden garbage"; so *you* have to watch *how* you tell me to watch who I call names; esp. when there may be even weirder stuff right under your nose...
