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. Bob "Mad As Hell" C 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.
