When Monkey Mail Backfires! apj.us takes on a troll -- and runs a contest!

[johnfunk]

This is just too funny.

Some yahoo named Charles Wilson decided to write a truly silly troll e-mail to American Politics Journal. The guys and babes over at APJ refer to such tripe as "Cro-Magnon Mail" -- and this time, their content editor, JJ Balzer, decided to send a little bit of his love back to the knuckledragger in question. The exchange that followed will have you doubled over with laughter -- especially given that JJ is a proud liberal alumnus of the very conservative-leaning University of Chicago (I was a freshman there when he was a senior) -- a fact to which the not-so-knowledgable Mr. Wilson, who seems to have a grudge against all institutions of higher education, is clearly oblivious.

It's a total riot -- and now the free world can get in on the fun.

APJ is running a contest to come up with the best response/comment/snark/rebuttal of Wilson, with the prize being -- in a delicious bit of irony -- a brand-spanking-new copy of George Crile's terrific "Charlie Wilson’s War," a real-life thriller about the legendary, scandal-ridden congressman (picture James Bond meets JR Ewing with a dash of Wilbur Mills) who got the US to back the Afghan resistance after the Soviet invasion.

Hey, if you haven't read it, go ahead and unleash your inner snark -- never turn down a chance at a free read (or a chance to make a Freeper a bigger fool than he already is).

ON Edit: link fixed.

1. wierd.

that guys rant about bodily hygeine, sounds like the rant from this one borderline personality i used to argue with.


she would immediately "impugne my hygeine" with these long phantasmagorical highly detailed rants on what my cleaning ritual might be.


so strange, and juvenile all at the same time.

5. I'd impugn his mental hygiene...

... reading his rants, I was also half-expecting to read something about "precious bolily fluids" or the Communist plot to fluoridate the water supplies...

[MsTryska]

6. at least flouridated water is a rant i might could get behind....

the disturbing mental images that come with in-depth hygeine rants is well....disturbing. moreso when i know someone just like that. i wonder if it's in the DSM manual?

[Astrochimp]

7. flouridated water? Because it.............

saps and impurifys all of your precious bodily fluids?

2. Charles certainly seems to have some issues, and not just hygiene.

He really, really, really seems to hate those pointy-headed influential liberal academics at the University of Chicago.

Like Milton Friedman, and Allan Bloom, and Robert Fogel, and Abram Shulsky, and...

... um...

... er...

... oops. Sorry.

They're all right-wing.

Come to think of it, they're all Jewish, too. And I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that JJ Balzer, Wilson's agonist at Ampol, is too. And there's something... something intangible, something about Wilson's choice of words... that makes me think that were the topic to come up, Wilson might have a little grudge against, well, Semites.

But that's just my gut talking. I've got to write my entry.

3. Couldn't help wondering.....

...if the 2450 lb woman who gave birth to a horse's ass was his mother?

4. That jerk was a congressman, now I know what they mean when the say

that progress is the opposite of congress. They must have had this nut job in mind. This guy went to college, what was his major, ass and nose picking 101? I doubt fleas would even inhabit this stench of a man. What a waste of life.

9. Bwhahahahahaha!!!

OMG, I'm DYING laughing :D

10. Methinks Charlie will tell you you need a haircut and shampoo...

... maybe he's a Metrosexual FReeper!...

[TheSubliminableKid]

11. Charles's obsession with hygiene and hair. Hmm.

Maybe he's a metrosexual John Bircher!

Can anyone say "Queer Eye for the FReeper Guy?" Charles and four of his straight but metrosexual hard-righter friends give leftist hippies a lifestyle, wardrobe, home and ideology makeover. It would be a big hit on Sinclair!

12. Kick! Kick Charles Wilson's obscene little butt!

Hey, I've sent my entry...
