No more Perversions
No more Perversions
Dear Sir,
Why do you persist in printing dirty letters about sex with animals? e.g. aardvarks? Surely there is such a thing as journalistic etiquette (which maybe you have never heard of?) which means that letters and articles printed should always be in good taste and not offend. Articles therefore talking of sexual perversions or containing libellous language to persons and things like that should not be printed. Things like Colin's Column will only get our newspaper a bad name and students in general a bad reputation of having base and filthy minds.
Yours truly,
Decent StudentP.S. I am sure I speak for the majority of students. (Doesn't everyone—typstr)
(We print dirty letters about sex with animals because people send them to us. They do not actually represent a bigoted kind of offensiveness or else they would find their way to the rubbish bin. Quite personally I think that is where they should go anyway, but that is beside the point.
Colin's column is for the use of anybody who has a problem they would like to share or know something about. We cannot help it if this service is used only by adolescent preverts—Ed.)
