主题：【原创】钉在历史耻辱柱上的毒舌：部分西媒对震灾的歪曲报道 -- 厚积薄发

没有问题的，楼主写这些帖子的本意就是要让大家看清楚有些西媒在报道中国问题上不客观、不公正、甚至是有意误导其读者的。转贴时请注明作者和西西河。

A verbal apology is cheap and useless, let’s make an example by making this guy lose his job. The following draft still needs some work: name of the 10 major advertisers of the newspaper.

I will boycott Plain Dealer’s major advertisers as long as you carry Mr. Darcy’s work

Dear Editor,

Thank you for removing the heartless cartoon by Mr. Darcy regarding the China earthquake from your website. Unfortunately, this is not enough, especially as an apology from Mr. Darcy is not forthcoming. Anyway, a verbal apology is cheap and we have no use for that.

If you have trouble understanding the seriousness of Mr. Darcy offense, go try to draw a cartoon about Katrina or the Sago coal mine tragedy and pin it to our government's foreign policy, and see what reaction you draw. Outright racism against Chinese under the thin pretense of political comment has reached a whole new level recently, from CNN’s “thugs and goons” comment to Mr. Darcy’s earthquake cartoon. As a Chinese American, I am seriously concerned that what happened to Jews in Nazi Germany would eventually happen to us if this trend went unabated. Under such grave danger, something more than a verbal complaint is called for.

I have compiled the 10 major advertisers by your newspaper: GIVE THE LIST HERE. I will stop buying anything from them as long as Plain Dealer carries Mr. Darcy’s work.

I am forwarding this proposal to all my Chinese American friends. They may agree with you that Mr. Darcy was merely exercising his freedom of speech and had a slip of bad taste; or they may agree with me: Mr. Darcy’s cartoon is a thinly disguised hate propaganda which has way crossed the boundary and quite dangerous, thus we’d better act while we still have the freedom to act.

Fortunately this is still a free country. Mr. Darcy can continue to exercise his freedom of speech in his so-called “art”; we can exercise our right of not buying something while we still have that right.

Sincerely yours,

After you edit and send it, would you please put the final version as well as the editor’s email address here? So we can join in by sending something like:

A friend just forwarded the following email to me. Just want to inform you that I am joining his boycott. I am forwarding this to all my friends as well, Chinese or not. I still have lots confidence in this country: I believe it is not only Chinese Americans who don’t want to see it sliding into the mode of Nazi Germany.

估计是个模板回复，直接复制的。

Thank you for your note. We have received many phone calls and emails today on this subject and have removed the cartoon from the web site.

I very much regret that people have taken offense about the cartoon, or believe — wrongly — that Jeff does not care about the suffering in China. To the contrary, Jeff cares deeply, and it was from that impulse that he drew the cartoon in the first place.

In no way did he intend to have people believe he was making light of the earthquake, which is a great tragedy.

Cartoons, by their very nature, are controversial, and sometimes upsetting. But I can assure you that Jeff did not mean to somehow put the earthquake in any kind of humorous light, and I personally did not read it that way.

You have my personal apology that you were upset by this matter. Please know that we take your complaints very seriously.

把一天八小时定为100份，把华人的生日为100份，每人按自己对应的时间打电话抗议就可以了，就可以让那个报社吃苦头。或者就把他们的漫画作附件，并抗议，每天发，直到他们道歉。
