There are thousands of FMLers.  How about each one of us write a letter
of protest about this idiot's remarks.  If you don't like them, say
something to the people that count.  If you say nothing, you are as wrong
as they are.  MAKE something happen by opening your mouth with a phone
call, an email, a postal letter, ANYTHING!
 
Here is a copy of ONE letter I sent; I have said the same thing in phone
calls, and have sent simialr letters to as many people I have think of
who might get the word back to the little shithead.  There is one thing
I know in my heart and soul: you MUST fight censorship, you MUST fight
prejudice, and you MUST fight for those people and animals unable to do
so themselves.  It is OUR responsibility todo something, anything.
 
Don't do it for me; do it for your ferrets, the ones you have lost, and
the ones in danger in California.

PS: I'm really busy right now; can someone kindly collate the available
addresses (snail and email) and phone numbers so an effective protest can
be made?

Sirs,
 
I am considered by many to be an expert on ferrets, and I travel
throughout the USA lecturing on their care and behavior.  Ben "Cry Baby"
Stiller's comments on the Tonight Show were so outlandish that they were
a parody of intelligence.
 
Dogs bite and have killed people.  Horses bite and have killed people.
Cats bite and have killed people.  Cows and bulls, and rams bite and have
killed people.  During the last decade, more Americans, in residence in
America, have been killed by elephants than ever recorded being killed by
ferrets.  Ferrets have never transmitted rabies to people; you can't say
the same about dogs, cats, horses, or cows.  Maybe we should all go on
the Tonight Show and ask Leno to go to Sacramento and beg the Governor to
make all those animals illegal.  Ben Stiller isn't a man, he's not even
wuss; he's a cry baby.  Maybe he should have the staff of an ER on call
when he walks across a carpet; you never know when you might get shocked
by that dangerous static charge!  What a cry-baby!  Wahhhh!
 
Ferrets will bite when provoked, some will even bite in play or
frustration.  So do people and every dog and cat in America.  My guess
is that Ben the Cry-Baby was so afraid of the little ferret that he
was holding him so tightly out of fear that the animal bit out of
self-preservation.  I should talk to that ferret and warm him he could
catch stupidity by biting idiots like Stiller.
 
I find Ben Stiller's comments about ferrets harmful to a wonderful
animal, and indicative of someone who purposefully elects to be stupid
rather than intelligent.  I know you don't care about my opinion of Ben
Stiller, and I am sure he doesn't as well, and that is ok.  But I will
boycott his movie, I will not buy his DVDs of ANY movie, and I will no
longer watch programs in which he makes an appearance.  I will also
strongly recommend to my "ferret friends" that they do the same.  I will
write and complain to EVERY person and company that supports, hires, and
even encourages the "wittle cwy-baby."
 
I know it won't matter to you; money talks and I don't have enough to
whisper.  However, it is enough for me to know I am right, Ben Stiller is
a stupid and ignorant loud mouth, and I'll never watch him again.  I win,
he loses.
 
What a pathetic, stupid, ignorant, cry-baby.
