letters to the editor

Dear Think,

What's with these maniacs that write you guys every month? Don't they understand that this is entertainment? Why is it whenever you do something different or call someone on their bad attitudes, you can bet on someone grabbing their box of crayolas and scribbling out some self-indulgent rant that somehow puts us all in our place. How dare we laugh at ourselves or each other... unless one of the other free magazines says it's okay. Stay smart, - Sebastion Runza

Dear Sebastion, If you were within high-fiving distance, I'd insist you and I make up our own secret handshake. I don't know if you're just trying to say what we want to hear or what, but I think I speak for the entire Think Magazine staff when I say, "Exactly." But at your question (and this is just me speculating): I think many people living in Singapore are so hyper-sensitive that they're physically looking for something to bitch about. Fair enough, I concede, some gripes are legitimate. But many are just silly. Nevertheless, we're out there on the streets so it's something I've come to expect and, as of late, appreciate. And on behalf of the racially balanced, politically correct staff, I thank you for the letter. ~JEFFREE


Dear Hungry bunny,

you are so hot you must really know about sex now here is question i need answer sometime it hurts when i do it wrong and i don't know why it could be that its broken or that i am doing it wrong please help i want to feel good sex like anyone else write me back i need correct love but it is broken and not working within the normal boundaries sincerely - Raj Sorour

Under normal circumstances, we would print your letter in a sexpert column, along with a thoughtful (but totally sexy) response from Daisy Blaze. Unfortunately, we have no idea what the hell you are asking, nor are we totally sure we want the picture to become clearer. Suffice to say that if you want a response from Daisy, you'll have to write her back in English.

 

Hello, my dear friend.

I was looking through the web few weeks ago and found your profile. Now I decided to email you to get to know you better. I am coming to your country in few weeks and thought maybe we can meet each other. I am pretty looking girl. I am 25. Do not reply to this address directly. Email me back at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . - Katherine

Finally! We thought no one would ever respond to our web profile. It's hard to meet someone when you have no money, no home, and no teeth. We can't wait for you to get to our country. There is so much for you to see... and clean.


Dear Think

I was on the fence for a while but I think I've concluded that you people are either on some heavy drugs or really stupid. Here's a tip: Die. I went, with the voucher from my new subscription, to Madam Wong's. Assholes. Next time, try printing something other than lies. They don't accept the voucher. If you need to fill space in your magazine, why not just let my daughter sell you some of her colouring book crayon drawings. I'll get you a good deal. - Richard Garris

Okay Richard, here's some advice: When cleaning your ears with a Q-Tip™ stop pushing when you feel resistance. You don't need to push the whole thing into your brain. You went to the wrong place. Madam Wong's is not part of the Wongsan Group. Try Siam Supper Club, or look up their other outlets at www.wongsans.com. Damn.
