I, like you, was pretty busy with getting prepped for Jersey Shore 2: Snooki 3D. We have priorities in America, people. Obviously, a problem we can’t see firsthand is not quite as real as the Tivo-ed Jersey Shore recap episode in front of us. And let’s face it, five thousand feet underwater is pretty hard to see.

That's one blog post, one online comment, two video responses, two telephone calls and a copy of the cartoon with comments written on it. No response was sent to [email protected], which is where we take all responses to any of our content.
