This local letter to the editor was too good not to share. Can someone tell me what's wrong with it?
Roller derby has eaten my brain. We're working on events and possibly a bout for June. A bout. An actual competition where we will skate against other skaters. Meep.
Can someone tell me what's wrong with it?
(1) The editors chose to publish it.
(2) Too many frigging exclamation points. (!)
(3) Bonus points for slut-shaming, woo!
Man, I need more coffee. And to leave for work.

What's not wrong with that letter? I could start with "The Greek meaning for 'Fetish' is 'young!'" No matter how you parse this, it's not true. Fetish derives from the Latin for artificial. There is no Greek word "fetish." We should worship or have kinky thoughts about embryos? More precisely, "Huh?"
And why is there an apostrophe after "doctors" in that one sentence?
I mean, aside from all the other stuff.

It just hit me that probably the writer meant that to say fetus?

Dingdingding! That's what I was looking for.

I couldn't stop laughing when I read that.

Maybe a misspelled 'fetus' caused the spell-checker to suggest 'fetish'?
Now I'm picturing anti-abortion ads that feature graphic pictures of aborted fetishes.
Sheen's Kids Removed After Alleged Death Threat
A judge temporarily stripped Charlie Sheen of custody of his twin sons Tuesday, after Brooke Mueller submitted a declaration in which she alleged Charlie said, "I will cut your head off, put it in a box and send it to your mom" ... TMZ has learned.
TMZ broke the story ... Brooke's lawyer got a temporary restraining order against Charlie, prohibiting him from going near her. The judge also ordered Charlie to surrender their twin boys -- Bob and Max -- to Brooke while the TRO remains in effect.
Police removed the twins from Charlie's house late Tuesday.
According to legal docs, Brooke also claims ... on February 23 Charlie threw a phone inside his house and then with a penknife in hand, threatened to stick it in Brooke's eye.
Oh, here's my idea for a new sitcom:
Charlie Sheen, Kadhafi and Rod Blagojevich are roommates.
The rest writes itself. It'd be fucking golden!
The Greek word meaning "young" is neo/nea/neos, depending on gender.
Hence "neonatal."
In other news, I just got spam offering me heroin (liquid or crystal) and rocket launchers. The spammer's target audience has a way more interesting life than I do.
