Rejection, by Dylan Moran

And here's the script. An amazing piece of wit:

Dear Mr Black,

I’m afraid your novel is unsuitable for us at the present time and herewith return your manuscript. I do hope you are not disheartened by this rejection.

Best wishes,

Barnaby Chessington-Howe-Foxforth


REJECTION...

Dear Mr Chessington How Fucks For Thee,

Thank you for returning my manuscript, and your enclosed nasty niminy piminy little note.

I am afraid YOUR letter is most unsuitable for ME at the present time as I’ve just spent the entire weekend writing the novel that you have summarily rejected. I can only presume that it’s company policy to reject all manuscripts not submitted in ten foot high braille. And yes, I am aware that it is traditionally bad form to respond to any kind of criticism or rejection, but in this as with all else I am an innovator, therefore I may freely address you as… pissmidget!

Still, there’s time for you to change your views and I think you will when we meet and meet we most assuredly will, when I suck out your eyes and use them as stoppers for my ears to muffle the screams you'll make as I head-butt you into a fine paste. I do hope you will not be disheartened by your sudden, violent death.

Yours faithfully,

Bernard Black.

(Back to novel writing): “Everyone… Everyone agreed he was right to kill the publisher. And to do it with with a flugal horn was a stroke of genius!

‘Bernard!’, they said. No, Brendan. Brendan. ‘Brendan,’ they said. ‘Congratulations. Here: have this basket of stuff and come and stay for the weekend.’”

I create a comment when I especially enjoy a article on a site or
if I have something to contribute to the
discussion. It is a result of the sincerness communicated
in the post I browsed. And on this article Untitled. I was
excited enough to drop a thought :) I actually do have a couple of questions for you if it's okay. Could it be just me or does it look like some of the remarks come across as if they are left by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are posting at additional social sites, I'd like to
follow you. Could you make a list the complete urls of your
public sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the images aren't loading properly. I'm not sure why but I
think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same results.

Hello! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with Search
Engine Optimization? I'm trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I'm not seeing very good gains.
If you know of any please share. Cheers!
