Prostate editorial integrity impugned
(Spoof letters to the editor)
Hey! I’m not impugning anything! If you don’t write me a fair headline, I’m afraid there’s no point in continuing.

Prostate, I impugn thee!

I found your recent front page piece on left-wing politics [Left-wingers are stupid morons, Nov. 26] to be rather slanted. Did you even bother to talk to a left-wing moron before you sat down and sneezed out that pack of lies? It’s not like there’s any shortage of them around.

This letter is 200 words long, carefully written and eloquent, but I bet you assholes are going to edit it down to a one-sentence sound bite.

I am a tolerant chiropractor, but even I have my limits. If The Prostate does not cease running that full-page, obviously faked photo of me strangling an already dead lamprey, I will be forced to take legal action.

We are getting sick and tired of the right-wing editorial slant of this newspaper. Your articles display a consistent right-wing bias, your writers constantly reference dubious, economically conservative organizations such as the Fraser Institute, and when you do print a token letter from a left-of-centre reader, you usually select letters from foaming-at-the-mouth, wing-nut radicals as opposed to reasonable, rational thinking people.
You and your ilk will perish in the flames of the coming revolution! Die, capitalist pigs!

Stop covering the fuckin’ government. It only encourages them.
