An Open Letter To Carlos Mencia

by IkE on

Dear Mr. Mencia,






You are the worst thing to happen to cable television since Oprah got her own channel. Everyone knows you are a dumb racist bigot, who steals jokes, and bad ones at that. You have no sense of morals, responsibility, or humor, and the fact is that every person I’ve ever talked to has nothing but fiery hatred for you. This may be due to the fact that most of the people I am on speaking terms with have some sort of high school diploma, and therefore don’t think it’s even a little amusing when you tell a fat man that he should know how much a refrigerator costs because he is fat. I’m guessing that your target audience is some sort of illegal immigrant with cable television, which leads me to my first question for you: Why are you still on the air? I mean, I know why you first got on the air, and for that I think you owe Dave Chappelle a huge thank you, but, why in the name of Zeus’ butt hole have you not been confined to a 9×9 jail cell for crimes against humanity?





According to my understanding of television, shows stay on the air as long as they continue to make money. Money is made from advertisements aired during the show, and the price of the advertisement is determined by how many people watch the show. Without undermining your audience, or overtly insulting you or your show, I ask: how is it that Comedy Central has canceled your ass yet?

It might seem unfair to fire a man simply because he is a disrespectful asshole, who just isn’t funny, but I remind you that you are on Comedy Central, and claim to be a comedian. That being said, your contract should be burnt, and all the money you have made from this insipid show should be sent straight to Chappelle for giving you your undeserved fifteen minutes of fame which have lasted about 3 years too long.






In summation, Mr. Mencia, I would like to ask for a favor from you. If you would be so kind, hand in your letter of resignation. Give an original comedian who deserves his own show a chance on Comedy Central. Someone like Jim Gaffigan, Louis C.K., Lewis Black, or Streeter Seidell. Pretty much anyone but Amir.






Thank you for your time and please jump in front of a bus,






IkE





P.S. We all know your real name is Ned.

Whiny inmate

I worked at a prison as a corrections officer (prison guard) and there was a particular inmate there who always complained about everything. For three months I endured his rants on how the lights were too bright, the rooms too hot, the blankets too scratchy, and so on. Obviously this is prison and no one gets luxury accommodations. I reached the end of my rope one morning... Read More » when I had to go down the run and wake him up at 7 AM for transport somewhere else in the state for a medical procedure. The guy is all grumpy, complaining about how I'm getting him up at the "ass crack of dawn." He demanded to be allowed time to take a shower, heat and drink some coffee and have a smoke. The van taking him away was already waiting for him and I knew for a fact that he'd taken a shower before going to bed the night before. I told him there wasn't time for any of that, he just had to get dressed and get to the van. He begins swearing and ranting about how inhumanely we were treating him and after months of his complaints I couldn't hold it in anymore. "I know, it sucks how early you have to get up to get your free medical care, huh?" I told him. He was immediately silent . He got dressed and left in a huff. I later found out how he wrote a grievance to the warden about my comment. Inmate complaints are occasionally reason for worry, so I was nervous when the warden called me in to his office. It turned out he just thought my comment was hilarious and told me to keep up the good work.
