We're not even touching this one ...

Dearest Dig,

 

Your mid-March cover gave me pause, but I stopped myself from writing to you, because, well, I don't do that anymore. For three weeks with it pinned up by my bed, I eyed that horse's ass. I have to say it now:

Horse fetishists!

ROFLcon and ponchos spark controversy

 

Dear Dig,

Your use of cutesy typographic misuse made reading your 4.23.08 issue a chore - especially since you stuck with this self-serving conceit from cover to cover. You guys sure know how to beat a dead horse.

Oy Vey!

So what does an old man living in Brookline know of anything? With hobbled fingers I cannot type. My walker is my wife, er, I mean my life.

However, once a week I brave the hobbledehoy to get my Weekly Dig. You make for me laughter.

I know nothing. Oy vey! But I know dis-- er, this: Common sense. Because you make for me laughter—Ms. Cara, I too spot birds which are not pigeons (Letter from the Editor, 4.16.08)—I shall endeavor to share this wisdom.

Stay, David Day.

Dig,

Kudos to David Day for his exit polls, especially this week's loop (Exit Polls, 4.9.08). Don't let him go.

We're taping this to the fridge!

Diggers,

I spent a year living in Cambridge, and the Weekly Dig was one of my favorite things while I was there. I liked it enough, in fact, to frame a few issues.

Please redeem us.

Ladies and gents,Please allow me to expand your eco-consciousness just a tad more: In Bean Counter (3.26.08), you refer to legislation that would make water and juice bottles recyclable."

Radiohead @ Oxfam

Just wanted to say you guys are dicks for listing Radiohead as playing at the Oxfam Cafe on April 1st in your last issue (Listings, 3.26.08). After checking the Oxfam and Radiohead websites, we discovered it was all just a HILLLAAARIOUS April Fool's joke. Thankfully we figured it out before we went to the goddamn show on Wednesday. Get butt-cancer, Dave, I was crushed when I realized I wasn't going to see Thom and the boys.

Share your babies!!!!

 

Dear Dig,

How unfortunate for the rest of our species that Julie Bogart and her ilk are breeding.

In her "She's a baby, not a purse" rant (Soapbox, 3.5.08), she can't fathom that her fellow partygoers' behavior was socially acceptable because it was a manifestation of joy—and those squirming little bundles inspire that in us humans.

Farm yer own peas, lazy pants!

Dear Dig,

As a farmer living in the metro Boston area, I found it heartening to see the Dig promote local food politics. What I found disheartening about the article "Buying the Farm" was the complete omission of Boston area CSA farms.

Long live analog!

Dear Dig,

I was glad to see your tribute to Polaroid (Dig This, 3.5.08), however, there is some consolation that you guys didn't mention. Although Polaroid factories are closing, they have expressed interest in licensing their technology to a third party who would then produce film for use in Polaroid cameras. Not all is lost!

Attention Artists! Stop the Orphan Act!

By weeklydig on Mon, May 5, 2008 12:23 pm

Two bills were submitted to congress at the end of April — one to the House and one to the Senate — called the Orphan Works Act of 2008. Congress is looking to have this act passed and signed into law by George Bush by June 8, 2008, less than two months after it was introduced.

 

In a nutshell, this act may put many of you creative people in a tight spot when it comes to copyrighting your images and jeopardize long term royalties.
