Inappropriate Language

And what was the offending sentence? You should hear what we readers were saying.
Put yourself in the public sphere, you're fair game.

I just took the trouble to look this up: In Shannon Kelley's roundup of local events "The Week" she (I suppose it was her) wrote:

PET PSYCHIC
5/19: 'Develop telepathic communication skills' at this *How To Talk To Animals* workshop with animal communicator Suzan Vaughn. And stop thinking sh!t about her or she'll know. Must pre-register. 9am to 1pm, Spiritualist Church of the Comforter. 1028 Garden Street. $59 Call 965, etc.

Pastor Clark should be damn happy the Independent publicizes their craven quackery in the first place.

I am jealous of the phrase "craven quackery".

Isn't "thinking sh!t" one of the crucial techniques taught when one learns how to "talk" to animals??

HAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAAHAHAHA! HAHAHA! I'm thinking I just sh!t myself laughing @ this :) henry

I do know that I have a pretty good idea about your values Pastor Clark simply by the fact that you are hosting and defending this comical garbage.
Can the Pet Psychic teach me to talk to steaks at Ralph's? Kind of a seance with the dead, or pieces thereof, to figure out which particular piece of meat will be most tender?

The inappropiate comment added to the event spot was directed to the reader and what was in their mind, when the event was aimed at participants who wanted to read their pet's mind. There is a difference between reading pet s--t and human s--t. It only goes to show why people have trouble reading minds, is because the human ego has gotten so big that it thinks it knows all. When it really doesnt know very much at all.

Oops! Your comment contains saucy language we'd like to avoid. Please revise. "s--t". Isnt that funny. The Event Person can type in the foul word....but I cant.

I think the writer of the Event's Column should post a public apology for being off key with her comments.

I think some people need to stay out of the kitchen if they can't take the heat.

as long as we are calling things for what they are, here are a few fill in the blanks:
Bankers are guilty of ______
Politicians are a bunch of ______
Police ain't nothin' but a ______

I had a pet psychic once. But it always knew when I was thinking about giving it a bath, and made itself real scarce. Is that also why all the other pet psychics stink so bad?

"craven quackery" means that the pet psychic Binky refers to is a duck.

Since the whole article is daffy, I think the duck analogy is quite appropriate.

Adonis_: Was it Felix?

This letter is about choice of vocabulary. The four letter word meaning manure. What sh-it means for the youth is one thing. What sh-it means to the older generation is another thing. I would like to know if attendence was lower than usual because of the use of the inappropiate word. Sh-it might have caught people's attention, where without it, less people would have read the advertisement. Also, was the pet psychic offended? It doesnt really matter that the Pastor was offended. Let's get a response from the psychic.

None of the geese in my neighborhood were offended, a skunk raised it's tail but that's about it.
