Bullsh*t; one word or two?

Now let's take a look at some emails from our viewers (you have to say that in your TV anchor voice).  This nice gentleman was not happy with our automated response that says we can't guarantee someone will be back in touch with him due to the large volume of emails we receive:

Then what is the point of sending your station an email, if a response will not be received...  You should be interested in what the public has to say is going on in this state and be willing to respond !!!!

This bull shit email response is just that..  Bull Shit..  Obviously do you do not care about the people in this state, if this is the response that you give.. 

If I was the management of your station, I would be ashamed to send this out to people, who are truly concerned about the State of South Carolina.....

If this is the way you feel...  Go fuck yourself !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  You do not care about the State of Carolina and the children that are in Foster Care in this state...

Disgustingly Yours,

My first reaction to this email was a stern, right back at you "go f#*k yourself" email. I decided not to. That would probably come back to haunt me in future job reviews.

My Second reaction was to kill him with kindness. Say we are looking at his email, blah-blah-blah. I think I'll do that with an added "we received your email in response to our automated email and thank you for your passion.  But sir, I do believe 'Bullshit', in which the way it is used in your email, is one word."

He has a decent idea for a story, but it involves DSS and foster kids and I'm telling you, those kinds of stories rarely pan out. There is way too much red tape. Regardless, when I get something like the email above I could care less about his problems.

This one is quick and to the point:

i would like to make a prediction of where the satelite is going to hit in north america what state and what time it is going to come down in the state of louisanna at around 4am est on sept 24th 2011

Like the internet, punctuation is a fad.

Since that satellite has crashed (not in Louisiana) I have been holding on to this email hoping to get the courage to send him something back. "How did that work out for you?" or "I've never heard of 'louisanna', is this a new country?"  I think I'll just let it go.

Until next time, and there will be a next time, happy news viewing.  Remember, if you don't know the answers to life's puzzling questions, just call your local TV station. They will know the answer.
