Written in response to this article: Bass says he's still 'N Sync


Mr. Picture,

I'm writing in reference to your recent feature, "Bass says he's still 'N Sync," which is a sloppy, dismissive, condescending blurb about NSync and its individual members.

There are five members of the band, not four, and while *you* might think Mr. Bass is unattractive and forgettable, that's neither here nor there in the context of the item.

And if, by his omission, you're slyly implying that in reality Chris Kirkpatrick is the most forgettable and least attractive member of the group, you might want to re-think this writing strategy in the future. It doesn't make you look clever.

I wonder though, if you'd even given it that much thought. I suspect that my first impression is correct: the blurb was simply ill-researched and hastily thrown together.

Your readers, the members of NSync, and their fans all deserve better.


[real name here]

I actually got a response back where he apologized for forgetting Chris.

I think the horde of angry fans won LOL Chris still mocks him with his chicken hat.

Wow, I think that's the first apology I've heard. Here's his response to someone on a mailing list:

about chris.

Dude, you know what I got from that jerk? An auto response saying he was OUT SICK TODAY.

Grrrr.

I got one of those too! Then a little later he sent another reply, the same one he'd sent to someone on a mailing list. He claimed it was a brain fart. That doesn't wash, though, because he'd have to have a brain first. ;-)
