Another Brock Yates Column... But its good this time

[devilmaster]

I once again emailed SPEED to complain about his racist comments in his latest column.

This is the reply I got from Speed:

From: Mark Mitchell

As of today April 1, 2003 Mr Yates will no longer be writing for
Speedtv.com.

his racial viewpoint to the general public. I don't remember taking the
'frog' language in elementary and high school, as we called it French.

Please please please don't let this be an April Fool's joke.

I was thinking the same thing too, SeanO....

Maybe it is just a cost-cutting measure. They could probably just rerun all his old columns for another two years before anyone actually notices.

I'm thinking about Brock Yates as Milton from Office Space, clutching a piston instead of a red stapler... muttering under his breath...

[Peter Venkman]

I'm thinking about Yates as just one of those Tony George sycophants that no one really pays any attention to.

I like Yates, I've read him since I was in highschool.

Now days I think of him as an onry old coot who likes to crack a beer before noon and lean on the bar aggravating people all day.


Oh wait, maybe that's me I'm thinking about.

Yates wrote about horse & buggies?

I didn't know that.
