WACKY HATE MAIL

I got an angry email from an Irish-American woman. A fiery red-head, perhaps? (kidding) Anyway, now I know how Topps feels.

Subject: Shame on You!

I came across your little parody of the Irish potato famine. How dare you do something like that? That is worse than disgusting, it is pure evil. Maybe you are young and think it is fun to be evil, what till you are a little older and see if you still feel that way.

My family came to America because of the potato famine. They were thrown out of their homes by your English forefathers. The English used to carry great loads of food in wagons right past the starving Irish who were eating grass and anything else they could get their hands on.

I have no idea why you think you are so much better than us. We both have shameful things in our closets and we both have glorious things there as well. Just do not make fun of a time in Irish history that you have not a single true idea about. You were not there.

Why dont you try to do something brave and be a little more Irish? Bobby Sands, lets see you make fun of him. You are so pathetic and I am saddened that I had to find your little parody.

Good day. No Irish blessings for you!
