A glance through the Explosm e-mail inbox.

Although the majority of our e-mails are letters of appreciation or even just friendly queries about the site and it's content, we do occasionally get angry e-mails from people we've offended.
Particularly religious types.
Sent 9th August 2006:
"keep jesus in just do make him do drugs or sex crap or some kind of crap like than! IT NOT RIGHT! but i luv yalls stuff see ya!"
Obviously the person that sent this one has been reading the bible so much that they forgot how to write modern English. Please try when typing, folks.
Sent 8th August 2006:
"FUCK YOU IF YOU PUT UP A COMIC OF MOHHAMAD I SWEAR I WILL BOYCOTT YOU GUYS AND GET EVERY ONE ELSI I KNOW TO"
Good to know that we sometimes attract the right type of people, the type that are happy to laugh at digs towards anything until we strike home. Too bad I say :).
The religious comics struck a few people's nerves actually. We had fun with this particular e-mailer;
Sent 12th August 2006:
"i have noticed that some of your jokes contain the beloved name of \'jesus\' and have made funwit him. or with the most beloved prophet \'muhamed\' {peace be upon him} i think u should stop with the religon. stop making fun with prophets or any religous things. cause it angers and fustirates many people imagine the whole islamic nation against u. or the entire christian nation against u or together. so my message that im tryin to get to u is STOP WITH THE RELIGON JOKES!!!"
Our reply:
"nah."
Their reply:
"You know wat im fuckin pisst now u guys are fuckin gay. go and get fucked by rhinos ass holes while ur at it. go and shove ur comics up ur asses. more ppl will know about this. FUCK YOU"
Our reply:
"Jesus and Mohammed wouldn't be impressed if they heard you say that."
Their reply:
"no they wouldnt thats true. but the rage inside of me is notn compared to wat i said. YOU guys better stop writin about jesus and or muhamed. Cause wat happend to the danish companies will happen to you but worse."
Our reply:
"Or you could shut your ass and suck my dick"
Their reply:
"i wouldnt do that cause im not gay. am i. u may like guys suckin on dicks or suckin ur dick. or mabey u like to suck dick.s but i aint gay... so suck it ur self."
Its good to see that those who e-mail us specifically to give us a self-righteous lecture on how what we're doing is immoral resort to homophobic slurrs when antagonised. It really makes their purpose for e-mailing us hold weight.
We also screwed around with this uninformed Christian girl for a while;
Sent 10th August 2006:
"You shouldn\'t be putting picture of Jesus on here cussing. That\'s rude and basically saying some religions talk like trash. that bullcrap and you need to take that stuff off of here.
[oh look there, i DIDNT cuss. neither did Jesus when he was alive]"
Our reply:
"It doesn't say anywhere in the bible that Jesus didn't cuss."
Her reply:
"Well it says Jesus wasb't a sinner.Our reply:
And f.y.i. it doesnt say that Jesus DOES cuss. So you shouldn't assume."
"The Ten commandments don't list "thou shalt not cuss." Also, Jesus was a carpenter. Show me a carpenter who doesn't cuss, and I'll give you $50."Her reply:
"well HAND over 50 dollars mister. my dad is a carpenter and he doesnt cuss."Our reply:
"thats because your dad is a blubbering vagina"Her reply:
"your a freaking DOUCHE BAG I HATE YOU"Our reply:
"we hate you more, bet you double the 50 bucks we do"Her reply:
"ok so now you owe me like 150$ cuz i HATE HATE HATE you lots more."Our reply:
"That makes you a pretty bad Christian.Her reply:
"But I say unto you which hear, love your enemies, do good to them which hate you"
Luke 6:27""
"annnd THATS why Jesus forgives."Our reply:
"Good thing too, because I killed like fifty people last week.Her reply:
"ummm wowWe've still to reply to that one, but the joke got old pretty quick.
he forgives you."
Rob also struck a chord with a reader concerning his anorexia comic from a few days ago;
Sent 12th August 2006:
"Hey...
Just to let you know... promoting anorexia and making it look desireable isn\'t cool. I\'ve had very close contact anorexia and with girls who have it and it\'s a deadly disease that screws over the life of the person who had it and also the lives of those around them. I realize that you poke fun at a lot of things, and that\'s the point of the comic, but I think anorexia is crossing the line. Girls are very easily convinced that they need to be skinny, and seeing things like that only help that belief. Anorexia is the most fatal of all metal illnesses and most often ends in death. Hinting that it\'s desireable to have this disease... it\'s just not cool"
Rob's reply:
"It's not very nice of you to call anorexic women ugly. How do you think that would make them feel?Naturally, we also get e-mails telling us how we've fucked up;
-Rob"
Sent on 17th August 2006:
"I don\'t get today\'s comic, does bambi pull out a wallet? is that what that is? just wondering, btw, your comics are always hilarious, keep them coming!!!"Grrr, okay okay, so I suck at drawing an obvious purse. This e-mail is concerning a comic I made about Bambi a few days ago, and we got a ton more like this asking what Bambi was holding because they couldn't get the joke otherwise. Yes, it is indeed a wallet/purse, so I'm glad to clear that up. That comic turned out to suck pretty bad after all :(. Sorry guys.
Other e-mails we get are just pretty retarded. In a funny way, of course:
Sent on 13th August 2006:
"could you make me a comic for my class ( G rated) about crueky killing animals for heir fur for fashion??!?! much appriciated if you could..
J. K
bwt ur comcs r gr8"
The heck? What kind of sick class is this?
Sent on 15th August 2006:
"Just wanted to let you know your comics are on MySpace"
WHOA REALLY?!
And finally, another colourful email;
Sent on 16th August 2006
you guys know that sand n***ers dont have the internets out in the desert dont you?
Like I said, good to see we attract the right type of people.
Anyway, thats this short trek through the explosm e-mail list over. As you can see, at times it makes for a pretty damn intruiging read and we genuinely appreciate hearing your comments, no matter how ridiculous some of them are.It keeps things interesting for us, thats for sure. Keep those damn e-mails coming, and see you in the next edition!
