You know, if I were a snarky bitch I would seriously consider adding a second facet to Ass Friday. Something that singles out someone that chooses to invoke Keanu's name in a negative manner in their article or column (even though the story has nothing to do with him) and respectfully suggesting that they kiss mine.
However, I'm much too classy for that.
So let's all just enjoy Nelson's butt.
I think I am going to join Keanuette and her opinion that you are spooky sometimes. I just read the article in question. Got past the first sentence and stopped reading.
Assholes.
Posted by: Tyler on March 7, 2003 11:08 AMIt's not spooky, it's google news feeds.
Spooky is that I can set fire to ex-boyfriends from a distance with voodoo.
Not that I've ever done that....
Posted by: krix on March 7, 2003 11:23 AMI saw that this morning too and blasted off an email to him. I felt much better afterwards. :)
Posted by: Chicks on March 7, 2003 11:48 AMHAHAHA, that's not spooky, that's very impressive! You must teach me that trick one day :-D
Posted by: Julie on March 7, 2003 02:42 PMcool about the voodoo, mighty handy tool. that idiot (little nicky whatshisface) is just jealous because he'll never act or sound or look or, hell, he'll never even smell as good as our keanu. so there!

"Thanks for the note. I happen to find him a very overrated actor, but I know he has lots of fans and it's good to hear differing opinions. Neal"
Jerkface.
I guess he didn't like my e-mail which was as follows:
Too bad you couldn't have written your article without putting somebody else down.
Probably the reason you are not being paid 30 million for your services?
Just a guess.
****
Here is the lame ass response I got:
Thanks for the note. If you know of a writing a gig I'd love to hear about it.
Neal.
Like I said - asshole.
Posted by: Tyler on March 7, 2003 05:27 PMWow, I forget that you guys are ballsy and would actually email the guy.
I actually thought his responses were at least civil. Which is nice, he could have served the snark right back.
And that would be a drag.
Posted by: krix on March 7, 2003 05:38 PMWhy? He got his lick in by making the *snark* comment in the first place. We should be allowed to return the favor.
His response may have been civil, but not apolgetic. He completely avoids the issue that his putting somebody else down wasn't necessary to put across the point of his article. He put his point across by ridiculing somebody else - because he thought it would be cute and somehow make him part an insider's club. winky winky
Sorry if I am getting breathy and preachy here but it is annoying. What makes it annoying is by pointing Keanu down, or anybody else for that matter (hey I will defend to the death my sister-in-law's right to be a Manilow fan), it puts the FAN down. Afterall, how could they be so lame as to be a fan of the person admired, because THEY don't admire or respect them.
His response to me assumes that he would be hired for a 30 million writing gig -- If I had it, I wouldn't.
Fuck 'em.
Posted by: Tyler on March 7, 2003 06:12 PMkrix, have i told you lately that i love you?
Posted by: Lori on March 7, 2003 09:05 PMI emailed someone the other day about a negative comment in their article...
It's totally unecessary. grrrrr
You could have 'give 'em da finger' Friday...
Or may I should...LOL
Posted by: Keanuette on March 8, 2003 12:20 PMWell, this is a little late (it's monday already) but he finally answered my mail, too.
I send him a beautiful poem, inspired by the pic of him that was shown on the site. I don't recall it anymore, but I do remember that it started with
'Dear Neal'
and ended with;
HAHAHA, I've never seen such a lack of sex-appeal.
That was cruel, I know ;-D
Posted by: Julie on March 10, 2003 02:35 PMJealous, Much? Jeez that guy's a buffoon!

Please do not make a comment thinking he will read it.

Thank you.
