Open Letter to Gary at ColbertNation.com

Dear Gary:

Ok, seriously, it was nice for you to pitch in for the #1 fan site for the Colbert Nation while Avery is in a coma. And it was great getting to co-post with you that one week.

But Operation Facestrong?

Stop it. Please. Seriously.

Thank you.

    Wait, what’s wrong with it? I find them entertaining…

    Colbert-Dunaway is ridiculously creepy and Colbert-Stewart is kind of gorgeous. And Colbert-Cooper is just bizarre.

    Shruti:

    What’s wrong with it is that I’m super cranky about the impending Writer’s Strike and I’m irritated with the South Carolina Democratic party and the picture of morphed Colbert/Gollum in my inbox sent me over the edge. For the love of God, stop screwing with the Pretty!

    This was started for laughs/screams [for disturbing images] on the colboard, and I’m really irked by the fact that he took that idea from the thread and turned it into some big operation…

  6. I completely agree with DB. I’m very grumpy this afternoon. I just hope tonight’s show makes it a little better. And the morphing got old after the FIRST one he posted.

    But I also must agree with Shruti – Colbert-Stewart is gorgeous. And mesmerizing. *stares for awhile, drooling*

    I agree. And I’m annoyed. I was pitching into Operation WristSTRONG and I sent him an email about it TWICE, and he still hasn’t posted it. Is he not doing the WristSTRONG thing now? I’m getting VERY annoyed with him. I miss Avery. He was annoying (imo), but at least he wasn’t as annoying as the dillhole running it now. Grrness.

    I was hoping when they did the “coma” post, it would mean a whole new direction for the site. Oh well. Didn’t Avery at least post episode recaps?

    So are they all 12 years old over there or something? There’s so much going on, again, what a waste of content.

    Yes! Thank you. I agree, there is so much going on & it is never mentioned over there. I don’t know about the colboards, but the blog site is ridiculous, annoying and very pre-teen. A couple of morphs could be interesting & different, but… blech, like DB says: “For the love of God, stop screwing with the Pretty!”

    I think they heard you, DB. Avery’s back, but they’re still doing facestrong. grr. Did you see the contact #’s for the South Carolina politicians in one of the comments? Would it be worth it to call? We could try crashing their email servers :-)

    @DB: The writer’s strike is on; Stephen is shut out of the SC primary; AND Colbert Nation/”Gary”/Avery is encouraging the posting of juvenile, ugly photos of Stephen on top of it all? NOT amused… >:-[

    IMHO, CN remains a tragic waste of bandwidth…

    You know, I did this almost a year ago.

    …Mine’s better.

    (It passes the “pretty” test, at any rate.)
