Angry Letter: I don’t know what it’s about, but my whiteness is to blame (again)
I got this e-mail today:
Well eric the George Lopez was funny my family really enjoyed it. The caveman show is a total waste of film nothing funny about,they should had left it just has a commerical. Let me quess your white thats why you are so lame white people just dont get it. Maybe you should join the caveman cast your just as stupid has the show!!!!!!!!
First, let’s pause a moment to bask in the sweet, aromatic irony of someone who writes like this calling anyone else “stupid.” Mmmmm…. refreshing.
Now, then. I assume “the George Lopez” means “The George Lopez Show,” and the strange part is that the only time I have ever mentioned that show on this website was in passing in a blog entry three years ago. Why get so worked up about it now?
As for “Cavemen,” I talked about that more recently — long enough to say it wasn’t very good. Which means I agreed with this person. So why is he or she yelling at me?!
Finally, while I am white, and while I agree that white people are lame, I don’t know that being white is why I’m lame. I have other qualities that contribute to my lameness. Let’s not limit it to just skin color.

The last few episodes of the George Lopez Show ran on Tuesdays at 8pm ET/PT in late April and early May. Cavemen moved into that same time slot this fall.
Maybe the writer felt that ABC-TV had gotten rid of Lopez to make room for Cavemen, and that all of us non-Latinos should be held responsible.

Maybe “The George Lopez” is a sandwich in one of those delis that names everything after famous people.
You know, like how “The Eric Snider” is mostly made of ham. ZING!

Oh, and… Did the writer just spell “guess” with a “q”? What??

Lemare!
This is a funny letter. You wouldn’t get these letters if you weren’t the 193,000th most popular website on the internets.

Lowdogg,
Don’t you know that Eric can’t be in the top 192,000 most popular websites because he’s white and lame?

I don’t think Eric can be in the top 200,000 most popular websites because there isn’t porn!
