Sending fan mail
Oct. 16th, 2004 06:13 amI sent this via the Comedy Central comment page:
Dear Jon, You're probably receiving a ton of these mails right now, so I won't belabor the "you are a god" bits, because we both know that's a severe exaggeration. Demi-god, maybe. In the right sort of light. And if I squint a bit. But anyway, thank you so much for saying what had to be said. I missed watching it live because I've long given up watching Crossfire for precisely the reasons you stated, but I managed to catch the AVI that's been bouncing around the net since then. You may not host a news show, Jon, but you're right - it says a lot when the "legitimate" media look to your show for standards of integrity. Historically, comedy has kept us honest by reminding us how absurdly human we are. Keep us honest the best you can, Jon. No pressure. Yours, Terence Chua Department of History University of Georgia
