Subject: God.com
I think God.com is a great idea. Is the only reason you are
not going through with it because of the time it would take to maintain?
The URL hasn't even been bought, I think. Hell, I'll work. Send me
stuff to do. Lots of free time this semester.
Anyway, it's back to studying plays: nothing like hour after hour of
Bertold Brecht's Mother Courage! Ah, Universities just love those left
hooks! But it's so predictable I can always block them.
Though it's much more fun to punch back.
Editor's Note: About the God site: it's not just the time, it's also that I think the joke would get old fast. Speaking of plays, have you ever read any of Peter Shaffer's stuff? Some fucked-up stuff, but good. Watch the movie version of Equus some rainy afternoon, but just make sure you don't have any large vials of pills stashed nearby. (JR)

To the dude who runs this strange (yet wonderful) site...
I can't thank you enough for what you have done to this earth. Even
though you have been heavily criticised and hated by many people who post
responses to this letter section, you have at least given them the
motivation to be heard. People from around the world have became closer
because of your work. Again, i say thank you.
Editor's Note: Well, I've given them the motivation to be heard because I've pissed them off. If that's the work of a humanitarian, then you can call me Father Roth. But please, no pedophilia jokes. (JR)

Subject: Your latest pile of bull poop
As an Army veteran, I want to see idiots like YOU stop trying
to use September 11 as a reason to HATE people whose religions,
language, or (dare I say it) sexual preferences you deem as "wrong".
You have wiped your ASS with the American flag everytime you have
allowed that two-bit dictator in the White House intact another bill that
will eventually undermine the RIGHTS of EVERY American!
You are SO WILLING to let others go and DIE for OIL, I wonder, how OLD
are you?!! I personally think that your ilk should be allowed to "die
for oil" on the FIRST PLANE LOAD over to Iraq!!!
I HOPE YOU GET YOUR WISH!!!
Heil Bush!!!
Editor's Note: You're mistaken. The editorial you're commenting on is not my "latest pile of bull poop"; there are actually several newer piles. First of all, I have no idea where your sexual preferences comment comes from. I guess you wanted to be dared to say it because it was baseless. In actuality, there is not a single gay country that I think we should be attacking. (Not even France.) In addition, nowhere in that editorial did I say that anyone's religion was "wrong". The only sentence that referred to a religion was: "I want to see an administration who believes that fighting Islamic terrorists who want to kill us is more important than having Muslim friends who fund those terrorists." Now, you might criticize me for using "Islamic" and "Muslim" interchangeably, but I think such use is acceptable. Just for the sake of clarity, however, if I wanted to evaluate Islam (or any religion) as "right" or "wrong", I would say "wrong". (JR)

You guys aren't funny. Your top ten lists suck, especially
when compared to Letterman's. And you're stuff is disgusting more often

Perhaps you wouldn't laugh so hard if you actually knew someone who has
died of AIDS. So in conclusion, fuck off, go to hell, and eat shit.

Editor's Note: Since you're asking a question about an article that wasn't written by me, I don't want to put words in the author's mouth. What he might have asked, however, is whether you were stood up by your English teacher and logic professor.

The rest of the site is great too. There isn't a week where I haven't
dropped by a couple of times to see what new concoctions you've pulled
out of your hat. Being from Canada (the left coast on top of that) I

The Reverend wrote, "I don't know what pictures you have and

Do you have the Lord working for you?! I recall you used to have a
picture of an attractive young lady with a cross located at a sacred female
body part. Was that artistic gem the Lord's suggestion? If so, don't
give up on Him, he has a nice flair for photographing babes.
Editor's Note: That photo was the icon for the Self-Gratification Award. Yeah, I guess you could say that came to me through revelation. Actually, I never did explain where that image really did come from. At one point, I was thinking about creating a website that was supposed to be run by God. I decided not to do it, but here's what I had so far. (JR)

I am glad you wrote your Christmas article, since it gives me
an excuse to link to mine; and then I also enjoyed reading your
Christmas article.
For the sake of keeping in touch, I will offer another music
recommendation: listen to PDA by Interpol on this page. If
you like the Interpol song, i.e. if you listen to it, the album is
totally only 10 bucks! And other songs on it are even three times as good.
By the way, have you seen the Amber Forever
site? It is great.
Anyway my Christmas article is good. I liked the shit out of your
nice-people article, great job with that and everything else.
Editor's Note: Well, thanks. You're a... nice guy. I tried the Interpol song; not too bad, but couldn't they use a new singer? That site has a nice collection of free MP3s. (I'm listening to Guided by Voices right now.) I didn't make it through the articles, though, but maybe others will get a kick out of them. I have too short an attention span for writing other than my own. I know, I'm an arrogant bastard. (JR)

I just finished my latest perusing of your site, including reading the posts from others. I had no idea so many idiots had Internet access, but I guess this is what the Clinton administration did for society.
I just wanted to tell you that I think your writing is timely, insightful, witty, relevant and to the point, injected with the right amount of sarcasm and four-letter words. And as a Roman Catholic who owns a bobble-head Jesus, I recognize good humor when I read it.
Best wishes for a happy and productive New Year.
Editor's Note: "Happy"? "Productive"? What are you, some kind of capitalist pig? But seriously... Thanks, I appreciate hearing this, and also that you took the time to write it. I know (from personal experience) that it's easy to browse the Web and only take the time to write to an author when something is either extremely annoying or offensive. So, thanks again. (JR)

If it weren't for "A Christmas Story" and my Spike Jones
Christmas CD, Christmas. . . er. . . Xmas, would be completely
insufferable. BTW, "It's a Wonderful Life" is truly nauseating.
Regards
Editor's Note: I was thinking about why people love this holiday so much. It's just amazing how overboard people go about it. Then I heard a song on the radio yesterday (I think it was by Stevie Wonder) which had the lyrics "it's Christmas time again". And then it hit me. It's the "again" (i.e., recurring) aspect that's so important to many people. Christmas is one element of their youth which has been somewhat preserved uncorrupted. Too bad people don't get as excited about making the rest of their lives as enjoyable. (JR)

That was a great article and when I say great I mean totally

I've got some suggestions though. Instead of getting shitfaced drunk,
read a book, play video games, or call your Mom. On second thought just
stick to the video games. They are much more mind-numbing but great for
the hand-eye coordination.
Editor's Note: Don't worry, I do other things. For example, I comment on comments like yours. By the way, your website is, ehem, totally sweet. My favorite line, from your first movie synopsis: "Then the ninja wakes up super pissed and ready to rock." (JR)

Subject: I'm confused
How can you be so virulently anti-left when it's the right
covering up statues in the name of God, shoving religion down our throats
and pulling money from yours and my wallet to support it?
I'm not necessarily in love with the liberal platform. In fact I
really don't even like it. But it's got one great thing going for it, it
doesn't have the religious right, who is actually neither religious nor
right.
I am trying to avoid a world like this:
www.landoverbaptist.org
It's my calculated guess that giving my vote to them won't make them go
away. So as our tax dollars are raided for Pat Robertsons TV
minisries, how can you kick the ONLY political force that could possibly stop
them? The way I see it, there is some use in the liberals right now, we
need to turn them loose on these hordes of 15th century crusaders who
have invaded our politics.
Take this quiz- How much do YOU know about Bible punishment?
www.landoverbaptist.org/news0800/biblequiz.html
Editor's Note: I show more support to the right due to process of elimination. When I voted Republican in the most recent election, I accepted the depressing probability of partial birth abortion bans and bans on cloning (which most Democrats also support, by the way) in favor of some degree of support for the war against Islamic terrorists. Anyone who says that the left is equally supportive of this war is either evading reality or totally clueless. (JR)

Editor's Note: As much as I want to point out your bad spelling and punctuation, and recommend that you improve it for the sake of being taken more seriously and with some respect, I'll be gracious and not mention it. What I will mention is that the only point you make which masquerades as addressing a specific point is a circular argument: "Your narrow minded perverse thinking is crudely demonstrated by the need to use vulgarity to make a point." In other words, as proof of my "narrow minded perverse thinking", you offer my "need to use vulgarity to make a point". Why would I "need" vulgarity to make a point? Well, it's self-evident. Because of my narrow minded perverse thinking. You're kind of sloppy thinking is much more vulgar than any fucking four-letter word. (JR)

Subject: Evil bodies
I read some of your article on evil bodies and found it
interesting. Not only do women tend to display their bodies in public---
but men do, too. It's still socially acceptable to wear revealing
clothes, and nudist camps still appeal to some people that enjoy that
lifestyle. For the most part, I don't care for it. I don't criticize people
for their clothes, and I don't accept harsh remarks from others regarding
mine. Our clothes are an extension of our personality and a chance to
express ourselves---and I would support anyone's right to flourish in
that direction. When "we" were kids we wore hip huggers, halter tops
and even...ugh...tube tops!!! So, when I see the same fad clothes on
youngsters today I can relate to their need to be unique and get noticed.
They'll soon tire of exposing themselves to judgmental, uptight yuppies
and find another way to get attention. One thing that I think you were
way off mark on: attaching someone's sexuality to their appearance.
What I'm wearing has nothing to do with my level of arousal or my ability
to perform gratifying sexual acts. I can dress classy and still be
sexy---and if I want to be trashy I'll save that for my lover.
Editor's Note: I'm not really sure what makes you think I believe one's style of dress implies something definitive about their sexuality. The fact that I praise the courage of the women who can strut around on a stage to be leered at doesn't mean I have a problem with women who choose not to. Some of my favorite experiences have been with women who were not Victoria's Secret models. Believe it or not. (JR)

Name: Doug
Subject: Refutations
There have been a lot of people asserting without proof
recently on this page. You then ask for specific examples, and they never
reply. Maybe they have no proof on their side, or maybe, they just don't
know how to argue.
So, I'll give an argument, refuting a SPECIFIC POINT JR made.
In his Unseen "Emperor's Club" Review he wrote, "...they're advertising
the fact that this piss-poor misfit of a movie actually lost at every
one of the festivals in which it was entered." Then you mocked the film
by saying:
"Lots of other people already saw this movie and thought it sucked
major ass. So, please folks, buy your tickets today!"
Well, just because a movie is not selected the winner of a festival (or
even 10 festivals) does not mean it "sucks major ass", it could have
received 3rd place 10 times, and lost to the same 2 movies in every
festival.
There people, it's not so hard is it?
Of course, the point I'm refuting is just a a logic error, and is not
integral to the main point of the article. I would refute JR on his
major points ---- if there was anything to refute. But he happens to have
the distinction of being right in every article he publishes.
PS: Funny the guy who commented below thought that the "revelations" JR
was you. "Someone named Jason Roth is attacking the bible? It must be
savethehumans.com!"
It's nice to be known, eh?
Editor's Note: Thanks for seconding my request. And now that you have... you must know me well enough to know that I can't let your point about Emperor's Club go by without commenting on it. When I wrote that the producers are in effect telling people that the movie "sucked major ass" (don't you love arguing the logical merits of such as phrase?), I was sarcastically emphasizing the fact that the producers themselves are telling us the movie did *not* get any type of award at those film festivals, or at least no award worth mentioning. That's exactly like a publisher advertising a book by saying "This book was reviewed by these 25 major newspapers and magazines." All that tells you is that the publisher or producer has enough clout to *get* it reviewed. But to leave out the results of those reviews also tells you that they are incapable of mining some sort of selling point out of all those reviews. Saying that the movie came in the top three of three specific film festivals would have had more impact than to say it was simply "selected" at 18 festivals. Of course, I don't actually know if the movie did poorly at those festivals or if the marketing people are just incompetent at using such data to market their movie. But it's the marketing people I'm really mocking in the sentence you quoted anyway. (JR)

Right, so, I'm at my nice little Community College last week,
and there're these guys set up at a table outside, looking all
rebellious, 'making trouble' in their own words, and campaigning for this
LaRouche guy. Apparently, he's some hotshot Democrat aiming for the White
House in 2004. From what they say, the guy sounds surprisingly moderate
for a Democrat, so I check out some of their literature. It is then
that I'm drawn into the wonderful world of Moonie Sex Cults, the Isreal
Gestapo Death Camps where Palestinians are put in gas chambers, and the
Impotent Rabble-Rousing Chickenhawks who just want a war for the
economy, cause, y'know, our lives aren't in danger or anything. I promptly
told them they were fucking loony, and not only did I want nothing to do
with them, but that I was going to try to stay a good distance away
from them, lest their rampant stupidity actually attract nukes.
Anyway, this is the first I've heard of the guy. Is he just some
small-time wacko, or is he an actual big player?
-Rock on.

I loved the story on "Culture Bashing." I've found the same

pseudointellectual crap. The only stories worth reading are the ones that
are actually cool to read.

Subject: Your bigotry
You, sir, are a bigot of the highest order. You should take your barbaric world paradigm back to the cave from which you crawled. What, with your clearly inferior education and tenuous grasp of the English language, do you think you are trying to accomplish by expressing your retrograde opinions in the public forum? The only people that agree with what you have to say are primates similar to yourself, who will never achieve anything in a world that has long since deemed your kind of thinking backwards and irrelevant. However, I wouldn't be writing to you if I thought your existence was as benign as all that. You and the people that share in your fear/hate mongering have mothers, sisters, and neighbors, which is what really frightens me. People suffer as a direct result of unenlightened misogyny. You are one step from writing articles with titles like "How to Beat Your Wife." You don't deserve love or happiness in your life because you express nothing but the most vitriolic of opinions towards anyone unlike you.
Kindly die, for your death would make this world a (slightly) better place.
Sincerely,
Robert and Giselle
Editor's Note: You, sir, are a moron of the lowest order. First of all,
you must assume that there is only one "Jason Roth" in
the world, since that URL you mention has some other
Jason Roth listed and you thought it must be me. (If
you need it loud and clear: no, that guy who did the
"prophesy" presentation is not me.) Secondly, your e-mail (which evidently took the power
of two people to make so idiotic) is a perfect example
of a willfully-blind, emotionalist response to new or
different ideas. You mention not ONE specific example
of what you find objectionable, most likely because
that would actually require thought on your part about
WHY you find it objectionable. Like a religious
fanatic, you find it easier to shout
emotionally-charged words like "bigotry" and
"misogyny" rather than addressing specifics. Either respond to me with something intelligent and
concrete, or get a life. (JR)

its a bit much. Amazingly, because there is the Jerry
Springer show and Divorce Court, I can't say that someone who takes the time
to write such stuff has (1) too much time on their hands and(2) maybe
needs a real life- there are several steps below writing faux personal
adds, the stuff we see on tv late at night or on "Fear Factor". As the
french say, (when they speak english) "to eash his own". I suppose
trying to find the largest prime number in the world would be about in the
same catagory as writing yahoo personal ads like the one here.
Editor's Note: Now that you mention it, after an episode of Fear Factor, I did attempt to eat an entire raw habanero pepper. I got about halfway through before having to concede and gulp down 10-minutes worth of milk. I think the Fear Factor producers might have taken the seeds out of the peppers before offering them to the contestants. Either that, or I would have lost on that episode. Now, what was it you were saying? (JR)

Subject: Tragedy of the Green
In an attempt to further indoctrinate my political science
class with socialism, my Berkley "educated" professor gave us a little
allegory called "the tragedy of the green." How do we avoid decimating
the collective sheep pasture? The answer for me was simple, privatize,
make everyone responsible for their own land. Of course Mr. Mao
disagreed because some people would be more successful than others. State
regulation, he said, is the answer. Send the police force in whenever
anyone is too successful at exploiting the land. To this I asked, "And
how do you know when someone is getting more than their fair share? Do
you want to be the one counting sheep shit?"
Editor's Note: If you really said that, then I congratulate you. I wish I would have said that to my political philosophy professor. (Regardless of whether we were even talking about pastures.) (JR)

No wonder you couldn't understand "Emperor's Clun". You can't even spell the lead's name.
Editor's Note: Initially, I was going to assume that your unique spelling of "Club" was an element of sarcasm. But then, after a quick look at my keyboard, I see that "n" is right next to "b", so you most likely made an actual typo. That, my friend, is rather amusing. Nevertheless, I appreciate you pointing out the error, and I've corrected it in the article. BTW, I'm honored that a writer for the Sacramento Bee would post on my website. I read the paper regularly for the scoop on my favorite NFL team, the Raiders. (JR)

Hey JR!
Check out wehateyou.com - I thought it was really awesome! Though I
just read a couple of articles, so if it turns out to be a
lefty-bullshit-kind-of-stuff site, don't blame me!
WRITE ON! WE NEED YOU!!

Editor's Note: Way too many words for me, but I don't mind linking to it. (I prefer to spout my own nonsense rather than to read someone else's.) Thanks for the nice words. And speaking of which, KFC is ok once in a while, though I prefer Boston Market. You can't beat that creamed spinach. (JR)

Subject: nice people
i would love to have a conversation with this 'anti-nice
people' extremeist. People consider me a 'nice person'. I believe if I
have to be categorized, I am closer to extra-crispy. The difference is, I
don't run in the face of controversy if it came down to it. I will
state my opinion, and listen to others, and believe it or not!! I am
intelligent. The author would amuse me.
Editor's Note: Maybe the problem is that your friends are too stupid to think of a better adjective than "nice". Get some new friends. (JR)

I ran across a link to "Jesus Sports Statues" a few months
ago from your site, and can't remember the last time I laughed harder.
Hopefully (if you haven't seen this) I can now return the favor:

Editor's Note: No words can describe that. If it were a movie, though, I'd expect to see it on Mystery Science Theater 3000. (JR)
