5. For some reason I always liked Pet Smart - now I know why
I thought it was because of their pet adoption efforts or their dog training classes. But there was more - they refuse to knuckle under to a bunch of dumbshit christiamofascists playing the victim card. I have two horses three dogs and five cats and I spend probably $200 per month on animal related supplies, a lot of it at Pet smart anyway.

Sadly, the AFA site hung up and refused to send the letter. I emailed Francis directly the following: server finally processed the mail< >

Dear Messers Francis and Moran:

I regret that I do not buy pet-related merchandise. Otherwise, I would divert the majority of my spending in your company's direction, owing to your respectful attitude toward United States values, specifically, holiday spending.

I find the campaign by knuckleheaded religionists to force you to use a word of their choosing morally corrupt. But then, that's what they stand for.

Please keep up your outstanding advertising and marketing rhetoric. I'm on your side and completely against fools such as the "American (sic) Family Association" who would force their language and values on the rest of us.

Regards,
Michael Sedano

7. Jesus Titty-Fucking Christ! That is the STUPIDest...
...thing I have ever seen! These religiously insane people just have no ideas what asses they are making of themselves, do they?

Don, they're dogs! They're just fucking dogs and they don't give a shit about christmas or jesus or mistletoe or anything at all other than eating and sleeping and shitting and chasing balls. They're cats, Don, they aren't influenced by holiday advertising! Don, you're crazy!!

When will we grow up and stop caring about fairy tales?!? Or will the dogs and cats take over and the planet will be rid of this monkey-nightmare?

Sheeesh!
