Intercepted Correspondence Letter from Satan to Pat Robertson:


Dear Pat Robertson,

I know that you know that all press is good press, so I appreciate the shout-out. And you make God look like a big mean bully who kicks people when they are down, so I'm all over that action.

But when you say that Haiti has made a pact with me, it is totally humiliating. I may be evil incarnate, but I'm no welcher. The way you put it, making a deal with me leaves folks desperate and impoverished. Sure, in the afterlife, but when I strike bargains with people, they first get something here on earth -- glamour, beauty, talent, wealth, fame, glory, a golden fiddle.

Those Haitians have nothing, and I mean nothing. And that was before the earthquake. Haven't you seen "Crossroads"? Or "Damn Yankees"? If I had a thing going with Haiti, there'd be lots of banks, skyscrapers, SUVs, exclusive night clubs, Botox -- that kind of thing. An 80 percent poverty rate is so not my style.

Nothing against it -- I'm just saying: Not how I roll. You're doing great work, Pat, and I don't want to clip your wings -- just, come on, you're making me look bad. And not the good kind of bad. Keep blaming God. That's working. But leave me out of it, please. Or we may need to renegotiate your own contract.

Best, Satan

Lily Coyle, Minneapolis

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Did some fellow named Pat Robertson really accuse haiti of having made a pact with the devil, and then haiti responded with ya we made a pact with the devil but it helped you too????

It is worrisome that pact's with devils are being discussed on an international forum. Unless it's a metaphor for something else, then someone please explain with whom pacts we're made.

Woh there SP. "Why am I being punished for Mycroft's inability to not post duplicate videos?" Keep your tone civil.

First, he changed his embed. His original video did not include the first segment. My video had 36 seconds of additional content, this I confirmed before posting this.

Here is the chain of events:

1) We both post vids and use the same title.
2) Mine erroneously is declared a Dupe, because SlipperyPete either did not watch both videos or did not care.
3) Longde replaces his embed with mine after people complain that they cant watch the video.

In its present state if anything his video is now a dupe of my original post. I am fine with deleting my post I am just tired of this exact thing happening over and over again. It seems ridiculously easy to script something that prompts the person declaring something is a dupe that the videos are different lengths. At the minimum this is a simple solution to a reoccurring problem.

Look exactly the same to me. Why am I being punished for Mycroft's inability to not post duplicate videos?

I made a pact with the devil to only allow this to play on Safari. Hail Satan!

Tried on two computers, with IE and Firefox. Blank screen each time.

Can I make a pact with the Devil to rid the world of people like Pat Robertson? I promise I'll suffer the eventual earthquake by myself.
