OPEN LETTER

you know who you are, dude. you and your two precious, PRECIOUS darlings came to the saturday morning animated shorts screening today at the CIFF. it didn't start well for you (in relation to the two-older-nearing-grandparent-age people who were seated long before you came in with your two precious, PRECIOUS darlings).

first of all, dude, DUDE! it's not DISNEY shorts -- there are many other animated films, MANY of which are not at ALL suitable for children. dude. you should have checked. the first two were especially inappropriate. then there was the CLOWN feature. karma will bite you in the ass (i'm sure) for the nightmares that are sure to be generated by that TERRIFYING short.

second, don't EVER let me catch you in a theater with a camera again. a digital camera with the FLASH turned on. just. don't. and are you CRAZY thinking that it would be cool for your precious, PRECIOUS son to use? in the theater? taking shots of his teddy bear sitting in a seat? taking shots of the SCREEN. just. don't.

it might be better if you avoided downtown cleveland altogether for a while to allow me to lighten my mood.

Oh God! I hate it when someone comes into a dark theater with a fucking cell phone on; playing games, etc. I can imagine how I would have gone off over the digital camera thing. What asshole some parents can be!

Hope you're feeling better now Stacey.

I don't want to think about the kind of adults those kids will turn into.
