Dear Simon

Ah yeah gidday I reckon there's too much politics in Salient. My student fees pay your bloody wages mate and I reckon it's about time you injected a bit more meaningless piffle into your magazine. As it is it encourages me to think and that makes my head hurt. You've got no right to do that. My student fees pay your bloody wages mate.

Just watch it mate,

Sebastian Dangerfield.

( The headaches caused by Salient making you think can be easily cured, mate, just spend four hours a day in front of your T. V. and you will find that the numbing somnolescence of the soporific soap operas will ease any mental strain and anguish caused by your encounter with the 'real world you find in Salient's pages. Try it. It works' Millions of satisfied T.V. addicts can't be wrong. Besides it's legal, free and even government subsidised" — *typstr)
