I'm trying to show some support for some dear friends. I'm not asking you to agree with me sight unseen, but rather I challenge your intellect to look at the situation from both sides and state your opinion. Thanks!

Some fuckhead newsreporter decided he wanted to slander my husband.

Most of you know Travis, who's a model citizen whose worst characteristic is a wry sense of humor. Everyone who knows him loves him, even if they choose not to read his website.

So fuckhead in question wrote about his website, howtokillpeople.com, which is a bit vulgar, but definitely humor-based. Anybody who's EVER had a sense of humor at all can tell that his tongue is planted firmly in his cheek whenever he makes fun of anyone, including himself.

So, here's the skinny:
Now his job and future jobs are in jeopardy due to outright slander on the part of this "journalist." He writes misleading statements, using Travis' words completely out of context. Anyone who reads JUST this article is sure to think that he's a psychopath. Hence the problem.

Here's what we need:
Go, read the article, and if you can, post an intelligent response that supports Travis. Someone left a very articulate comment earlier tonight that phrases the situation perfectly. Please, don't post things like "Fuck this guy! Travis is super awesome! lol!" We need to point out the flaws in the journalist's reporting, not perpetuate them...

Travis is on administrative leave, pending an investigation due Monday. His job has investigated his website several times, and has never found anything to be wrong with it. But, we fear that public scrutiny might change their opinions. He could lose his job because someone was out to get him and happened to know someone who works at a newspaper.

Please, this is an issue of freedom of speech. He's no psycho, and no one should allow a 27-year-old newlywed with a wonderful heart but a vulgar sense of humor lose everything. THAT'S crazy.

Thanks.

And pass it on - forward, whatever.
