Post B #2

Dear Stephen Colbert,

I truely appreciate your views on animals. Peta must be sending you complaint letters daily. Animal rights seem to be publicized often in today's society, but I personally doubt that too many people care. You book makes me think the opposite; that people truely think animals should be dominated and mistreated! How interesting. I believe that your views in your book are probably not your realy oppinions, but they are quite drole. Your book is funny and I often find myself unable to keep from laughing.

You stated that, "I remember growing up, old man Schmidt would sit in that rocking shair of his like he was manning a guard tower at a Nazi preison camp. One step onto his immaculate "Master Lawn" was enough to trigger the old man's shriek of "Auf Meine Grass! Das ist Verboten"" (26). This quote is hillarious! Not only is it terrible unpolitiacally correct, but it is quite inginuitive. I makes me think of that one joke, "My grandpa died in the holocaust; he fell off a watch tower". It has that kind of awful yet funny aura around it.

Also, talking about how people have "Master Lawns" seems very american. I don't understand why people pride themselves so much on their lawns. Do they have nothing else in life going for them? Well, nonetheless it is a very common thing today. Finally, the word Verboten is awsome and there is a sign in Herr Baron's class that says no weed aloud in german, and I always think of that when I hear "verboten". Well that is all for now Stephen, I'll make sure to write you again next week.
