Daily Mail Comment

You may not be aware dear reader, that I love to write letters and comments, i'm so happy the internet gives me so many opportunities to do so. Please don't think i'm a rabid letter writer, a constant complainer or for that matter a serial pest. I am not. I write when i feel passionate about something, to get things off my chest.

Sometimes it's the only thing that makes me feel like i have some control, like i can actually change things. But not all the time. Other times i just like to correct idiots, or try to steer them in the direction of basic logic and reason.

But (quite less) often i like to use my words to insult, such as today's offering to the Daily Mail, in response to this article (and hopefully you'll find my comment at the bottom, maybe twice because i back tracked to get the text of my comment, because i forgot to copy before submitting. I may be opinionated but not always very bright)

"Someone has to say it, but sorry DM, that coat is not futuristic. If you knew a thing about fashion, you can see very clearly that it has got a retro 60's styling.
Before reading the DM i thought that the room full of typing monkeys was just a comedy device for television, but it's turns out you actually have one! It certainly goes some way to explaining the continual spelling errors and pointless content i find in your articles."

I wonder how many red/green arrows i'll get for this one, or if it'll get posted at all. Stay tuned...
