WHERE’S THE OUTRAGE?
I'm fucking sick
of seeing that gay Value store commercial where that dancing faggot
comes prancing out.
I can't reach
my TV remote fast enough to change the fucking channel.
Now I've heard
that MTV is going to start an all gay TV program called Logo?
What the fuck.
Gays have come not only out of the closet, but every fucking
room.
Heads should roll.
Stop the insanity.

Dear You Again,
MTV
already has an all gay program, dummy. It’s called “Headbanger’s
Ball.” As if the name wasn’t enough to tip you off. As for the
Valu Dance, it’s a celebration of small-chain solidarity, a defiant
finger in the eye of Home Depot and its ilk. Calling it “gay”
is like calling your sacrifice to our nation “a monumental waste.”
Face it, you want the guy. By the way, do you have any donuts?
Some coffee would be nice too.

Hey Beast Employees
It's Meg, the "employed, educated, bartender".
Just wanted to say thanks for printing my letter. I was waiting
to see if Bill would reply, but I think he's busy reading this week's
Band Width while spooning Masiello...so I've heard... Anyway, to
answer your question unfortunately I am not single, but after your
offer I may just dump my overweight (though losing lots of it) smoker
boyfriend who's up all night bar tending for an overweight smoker
who stays up all night writing cartoons about his penis. Wait...he
can get me drunk for free...what perks would you offer? I mean
a girl needs perks... Well, the time has come for shameless plugs
so if any of you guys are ever in the Lackawanna area on a Wednesday
or Thursday afternoon stop down at RJ's Port (new location on South
Park and Keever) and I may feel compelled to buy ya a drink.
Thanks again guys!
Meg
Dearest
Meg,
If
you’re not interested in overweight smokers, then we really don’t
have much to talk about, although we are interested in your friend’s
cartoons. We don’t think you’re really serious anyway, since you
felt the need to qualify your comment about your fat boyfriend.
If you really are interested. Please send us a picture of you,
or whichever of your body parts you feel are most attractive.
Or bring us some donuts. As far as perks, we offer the chance
to type and answer phones for the most feared publication in WNY.
Then prepare to be passed around the office like a quarter-ounce
blunt. We’ll clear off a spot on the desk for you.
SO THREE ISSUES
AGO
Hey why do yous fucks still employ that riordan kid? Are you always
hiring people to write self-absorbed pieces of shit that end up
going nowhere? I can do that, I can get an idea and then not see
it through, like a bag of mucus or summoning spirits or one of those
other shitty stories. Hey, remember the 'homeless' piece that ran
in the Artvoice??? that sucked his tiny little balls that werent
even visible to the audience 5 feet in front of him. THAT is who
you employed, a failed artvoice writer. Basically, that kids writing
should be fuckin mocked by you assholes instead of being mistaken
for humor. By the way did anyone else see him get served at the
Tudor? that was great, one of the best things ive seen. you know,
then he looked pretty cute now that i think about it, that little
quivering rabbits nose and those eyes all lit up with wonder before
being frosted with a shiny tear that streaks down his cheeks...
id like to frost his face with my semen if at all possible and watch
that streak down those pouting cheeks.
Brian Duffy
Dear Brian,
Maybe
you should try masturbating before you write us next time. It
might help you to conceal your obvious homosexual angst. We understand—you
hate Chris Riordan because you need him so badly. Denial is the
first step on the road to acceptance, Brian. Give us a call when
you’re ready for Chris’ number. Or if you have any donuts. No
extra “glaze,” though, please.
FEEL-RITE EMPLOYEES
BITCH ON!
Dear Beasties-
Regarding “City
Employees Pitch In” on page 5 (or is it page 4) of issue #50, that’s
so off-base, it doesn’t even make for a good joke. Unions were created
to ensure high pay, good benefits, etc. (we know why they exist).
To say that city teachers should take a paycut is ridiculous. If
anything, the county should share the fucking penny already. Also,
the city should start a commuter tax for all city employees that
live in the suburbs. I’m a bit surprised that the Beast took a page
from the anti-union Buffalo News. I love the Beast, but you guys
sound as clueless as Masiello on that one.

Gallagher
Dear
Valiant,
You’re
right. Our only defense is the substandard education we received
at Buffalo city schools. Got any Donuts? We’d kill for a chocolate
angel right now.
DIMENTO LOAF
Dear Beast
Al Uthman’s article
about how pollution is good was some fucking twisted and dimented
shit [“Why the Environment Doesn’t Matter,” Best #50]. I wish I
hadn’t read it, cuz now I’m all messed up thinking about it for
days. I hope he doesn’t really think that way, cuz he looks like
a scary MF on the back cover, and I’m afraid he’s just spending
his days burning airosol cans in his backyard. I hope your not really
going to change the name of the paper for good, but the Richard
Simons ad was fucking awesome. I’m laughing my ass off right now
just thinking about it. The classifieds were great too. Who ever
heard of a paper with funny classifieds? The Beast really is the
Best. The best damn paper in town – stinky Artvoice is too lowly
for you to even mess with. No one gives a damn about there lame-ass
friends. Anyways, keep making me pee my pants, and twisting my brain,
and telling me shit I don’t wanna know. Your paper makes life in
the B-lo a little less lame. Long live the BEAST!
Jar Head
Dear
Jar,
Christ,
we can’t believe how many people didn’t get the “Best” thing.
It’s a pretty simple joke. “The Beast sells out,” so it’s “The
Best” now, get it? Aw hell, forget it.
HELLHOUND UP MY
TAIL

Rubashov
Dear Rubashov,
Then
how come crazy people laugh so much?
EH?
Staff,
What was the highest rating in the charts that Ramsey's "Wut's
My Name" acheived? In addition, what type of feed back, if
any, did you receive from the listeners.
Regards,
Willie Simmons
Dear
Willie,
What
the hell are you talking about? Anyone who knows what the hell
Willie’s talking about, please write us at sic@buffalobeast.com
and tell us. We don’t have listeners, we’re a newspaper—if we
do have listeners, we want whatever they’re smoking. We’ve never
heard of Ramsey, either—or Willie Simmons for that matter. Make
yourself useful, willie, and get us some donuts. Last week, Taibbi
cam in with a dozen Krispy Kremes, and we’re suffering from withdrawal.
Bring us some donuts! How ‘bout a Boston crème? Or a freakin’
cruller? Even a pack of “Zingers” would be something.
ABU GAY
June 2nd,
2004
The Beast
About: Abuse of
prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. You may want to do additional
investigative reporting on the following.
Shakespeare said
in a play ‘ Me thinks the lady doth protest too much’. This seems
to aptly apply to the present Bush administration. Over here George
W. promotes all sort of Faith Based initiatives, and doesn’t want
gay couples to be married or do anything else for that matter. WHY?
This has all the hallmarks of a powerful closet homosexual! Those
in the closet are, publically, usually the most vehemently against
what they are hiding in themselves from others.
George W. would
seem the most likely candidate for being Gay. He is nattily dressed,
works out daily, is seen mostly in the company of men, is responsible
for an administration that created those films of “abuse” of Iraqi
prisoners. He probably has all the film volumes in his private library
for late night… viewing. Possibly he even has films of those prisoners
who were murdered, something we would call “Snuff Films”.
It is even likely
that Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Chaney also revel in such film delights.
There may even be a group of Administration members who have copies
in their libraries as well.
During his Governorship
of Texas the number of missing children in that state was the highest.
Did he have a way of rounding up those children for late night romps,
and then disposed of them in unmarked graves? We probably will never
know.
Historically speaking,
remember FBI Director Hoover? Privately he was a flaming homosexual.
Eisenhower was a cross dresser and maybe more. Hitler was a homosexual.
All hid it from the public and all came down hard on homosexuals
outside their coterie of “friends”.
Yes I believe
those abuse tapes were meant for the private viewing pleasure of
the administration higher ups. If I’m wrong, then why didn’t George
W. fire top members of his administration who knew about this? Certainly
Rumsfeld! Because they could black mail George W. on the subject?
Plain and simple Soon they will tear down the prison, thus hiding
more evidence from the public.
A not so flaming
homosexual reader who likes The Beast.

Dear
“Ifuckass” backwards,
A
truly brilliant analysis. We hope you didn’t chafe yourself writing
it. Perhaps you should send a copy f this letter to the Buffalo
News, as they seem to have come out of the closet themselves lately.
Really it’s great to see Buffet’s paper so proudly displaying
their gay flag on every paper box in town—a gutsy move even the
SF Chronicle hasn’t tried. Of course, they’ve got competition.
