I'm going to just quote my friend over here, and add my letter. I suggest you do the same, and send it to webeditors@newsweek.com and letters@newsweek.com. Just for kicks, you know?

I AM SHOCKED that Newsweek would publish such a stupid fucking article.

I wrote them an email because I am so fuckin' angry. If you want to contact them, here is the info:

Newsweek
251 W 57th St.
New York, NY 10019

Phone: (212) 445-4000

FAX (Letters To The Editors): (212) 445-4120
FAX (General): (212) 445-5068

E-mail: letters@newsweek.com

This is my letter to them:

I cannot believe Newsweek would print such a tabloidesque article on the idea that Obama may or may not be, the Anti-Christ. I believe that you owe your readers an apology, and should expect that some of them may never read your magazine again. Not only did this article have no real facts on which to be written, but it is fuel to the fire of Obama-hating extremists who are looking for any excuse to hurt our President-elect. Newsweek should know better.

Sincerely,

Aubrie

Here is my letter to them:

To whom it may concern,

I wanted to get in touch and congratulate Lisa Miller and Newsweek on putting out such a great article on the very real possibility of Obama being the Antichrist. You just don't see real journalism like this anymore! Most modern journalists completely disregard archaic beliefs that defy any common sense or logic, but you side-stepped the superfluous and wrote a hard hitting article that says "No!" "No!" to including even a single fact that lends an air of believability to proposed conclusion. "No!" to presenting a counterpoint to make a reader already in line with the message at hand give pause to another idea or point of view. I mean, why would you want to calm the mindest of fundamentalists who are already angered to the point of action? I know I wouldn't-- fan those flames, baby! It's a peaceful time with a booming economy and absolutely no national threats, perfect for a revolution!

In a world where religous belief causes thousands upon thousands to suffer every single day, you can always count on Christians to lend a hand in ridiculous, self-serving endeavors from within their safe little middle-class communities. If Jesus Christ were alive today, would he be myspacing Muslims to trash-talk Muhammad, sitting in an office postulating on possible Antichrist candidates or lending a hand in Darfur?

Sincerely,
Josh Godin

Feel free to send one yourself. It's fun and a proper response to such drivel.
