Message to Terry Morrow

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on June 8th, 2008

Terry Morrow (pictured at left), a writer for Scripps Howard News Service, is at it again. It’s an annual thing. Two years ago last month, we trashed his critique of Last Comic Standing. Then we published a report (“Pouty TV critic assails plucky standup editors,”) that detailed how he befriended us on MySpace just so he could post nasty comments (on OUR MySpace profile!).

Then last week, we deconstructed his article based on his interview with Bill Bellamy (“Last Comic Standing: Behind the scenes?”). We took issue with a couple things he said and we expressed our puzzlement with some of Bellamy’s statements as well. We didn’t think it was anything particularly out of line.

Apparently Morrow took offense. This time, he sent a message to our MySpace:

What’s your problem, you lameass fucks?

We tried replying, but got the “You must be a friend of Terry Morrow to send a message.” message.

So. Here’s our reply:

Apparently, you are!

That should settle it.

And if it doesn’t, he should know he’s more than welcome to make comments on the magazine if he wants to defend his article. Just so long as he keeps it civil.
