I was so distressed about this injustice that I looked up the list of Amazon’s board of directors. Great good luck, I happened to know two of them

That is hysterical!

On the order of 30 years ago, TV Guide published a piece of drivel by Margo Howard in which she makes fun of Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, where her then-husband Ken Howard was filming a period piece of some kind; she very reluctantly included a couple of paragraphs about the filming, but she was mostly had a blast describing Hicksville; a number of people wrote in protesting the portrayal, and she blew 'em off.

It stuck in my mind, because Harpers Ferry is *nothing* like what she described; as a lifelong Washington DC area resident I went there often for a day trip (back when I had good knees).

It's one of my favorite examples of epic stupidity. I see she's still at it.

This reminds me of the "reporter" who covered Torcon so poorly for The National Post (Google Torcon and Gollom (yes, with that spelling) for more)
