To Whom It May Concern

I am writing in response to your broadcast segment, Look Out!, from your Thursday, July 24th edition of The Six O’Clock Nightly News. I found the segment tawdry, sensational, and a fine example of just how this nation is heading straight down the toilet.

Know that if you are not willing to issue an apology for the photo shown on the segment in question, I will be forced to mobilize. Angry parents are the strong and the silent majority. It’s not wise to provoke us. Anything you do that isn’t directly in step with your apologizing for this segment and ensuring that it never happens again will be met with nothing but the fiercest wrath: a boycott. Don’t turn your back on your base.

You may not be willing to respond to threats, but appeal to common decency. This nation’s morals have been slipping for years. I’ve seen it. From the decent modesty of the time when I was a child to the corruption and violence of when I was a young adult to the flippant attitudes and lazy demeanor present in children today, it’s clear that the world has lost its grip on what is truly important: family. Family values and quiet, simple people are what we need to truly return to our golden age. What if people spent more time together instead of in front of the television, watching garbage like The Six O’Clock Nightly News, which is clearly offensive and base? We might be living in a kinder world and your program might have decided not to be so offensive and base after all. Think of what you’re doing to the world, to our spirit of nation and our spirit of community.

When you get right down to it, you’re letting down the kids. Won’t you think of the children? Or at least my child? You could have at least edited his head out of the photo or something. You’ll be hearing from my lawyer.
