It stopped being funny after the first 400 Craig's Listers used that tack to try to get their posts into the "Best of CL" list (although Craig's Listers often use a slightly different twist: addressing their missives to inanimate objects, e.g., "Dear Crosstown M14 Bus").

Dear Mandolin, Sure, call me crazy, but you people can't live without me! Muahahahah. Where would you put all the rapists and the other scary, scary people? You all feed me and feed me so you don't have to think about what you consider human garbage. Even if I smell, everyone loves it when the garbageman takes the trash away -- I mean, uh, when your stalwart legislators pass "tough on crime" bills. Speaking of which, send over some more convicts, I have a money making scheme that's gonna make me rich!! Also some more ladies. Or trans women. Whatever, as long as I can pimp them. It's good entertainment. love, The Prison-Industrial Complex p.s. The complete Season Six of OZ, now available on DVD at HBO.com!! p.p.s. I <3 Law & Order too!

Dear Mandolin,

Sure, call me crazy, but you people can’t live without me! Muahahahah. Where would you put all the rapists and the other scary, scary people? You all feed me and feed me so you don’t have to think about what you consider human garbage. Even if I smell, everyone loves it when the garbageman takes the trash away — I mean, uh, when your stalwart legislators pass “tough on crime” bills.

Speaking of which, send over some more convicts, I have a money making scheme that’s gonna make me rich!! Also some more ladies. Or trans women. Whatever, as long as I can pimp them. It’s good entertainment.
