Here at "OUTSIDE!", we LOVE to get mail! It is one of the greatest things in the world... to open your anonymous Hotmail mailbox and have mail waiting for you! And, what could be better than that?!? Reading someone else's mail of course!! That is what we are giving you the opportunity to do here!! One must experience the thrills of recieving hate mail every now and then! Anyway, here is the place where we decided to show you the letters we have recieved. Some are... interesting. Others are cool and still others are inflammatory! Ya gotsta love the sheltered part of America I live within. If you would like to e-mail us, please do so... your message could appear right here! We won't print any real names and we won't print your e-mail address unless you request it, so what do you have to loose!?!?
Here ya go... Each link is a message we've recieved. Have fun.
The messages so far!
YOU SUCK!: This is the first message we recieved after our first publication of our 'zine! You can imagine how proud we were to recieve such an enlightened letter!
your zine: This was simply a lil' misunderstanding. This gentleman thought our commentary on our school sponsored "BATTLE OF THE BANDS" was a review. The article he is referring to is called "Censorship At It's Finest" and will be under the "Volume 1, Issue 1" link soon.
Outside: Yeah, so no one really has had an interesting title, but that's not our fault! Anyway, this one is basically a kudos from a future writer.
(none): Someone with an appealing offer that would have been useful...
what?: I do believe this is the funniest letter that we have ever recieved! Everyone laughed for SO long when this was oppened up! We were forwarding it to friends so they could have a laugh as well! This guy, aside from being a power hungry psycho, does not understand that we don't censor articles... Boy, was he pissed when he read the response we posted...
Back... with a vengeance!: This article scared the hell out of me. Somehow, the person who wrote the article "Leeches" managed to compare Charles Manson to Martin Luther King Jr.!! I decided not to print it... not because I wanted to censor something, but because I felt it advocated violence and an underline theme that "OUTSIDE!" didn't want to be associated with. However, it is on the mail page, so I guess it is published in a sense...
Our thoughts.: A letter written by a few students of Mountain View's "elite" class. Some good thoughts, I guess... just blind to many of the events of our school.
That is about it so far... aside from the occasion personal messages that the "OUTSIDE!" Staff has used this e-mail address for, and the notification of our acceptance into the YAHOO! search engine, that is about all the mail we have recieved. If you would like to write, please do so! As we said, we love to get mail!! :^)
