How to Write an Effective Crank Letter

I happened to be stumbling around the WCSH Web site to see when my next segment would air (Tuesday, April 4), when I discovered a feedback page on my previous segment. Here was the only comment:

I just watched your Tuesday night show regarding online dating and have HUGE issues with two ‘happily’ married people discussing how to go about dating online. This was the most obsurd [sic] segment I’ve ever seen (and from watching this show obsurd [sic] segments seem to be a theme). Next time you do a show about this, try to find someone who is actually single and can give a better story and better comments about the issue. SHAME SHAME!

Yes, Matt, you do have HUGE issues. Nothing diminishes your crank power more than misspellings, especially if you repeatedly misspell the same word. (It’s absurd, in case you were wondering.)

It’s obviously time for you to shut off the TV and get outside and try meeting some people. Writing crank letters to local TV stations can’t be a substitute for a relationship. Trust me: I know.
