Subject: Cease and Desist On DatingWeird.com Website Content Item
Dear DatingWeird.com:
It has come to my attention that you have made slanderous and libelous comments regarding an incident that happened earlier this month on your website on October 1 2009. The article in question is;
http://www.datingweird.com/view/Funny/18
I have concluded that this story is regarding me and another party. This is clearly slanderous material and defames my character.
As you neither asked for nor received permission to use this story on your website, nor to make or distribute copies, including electronic copies, of same, I believe you have willfully infringed my rights under 17 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq. and could be liable for statutory damages as high as $150,000 as set forth in Section 504(c) (2) therein.
I demand that you immediately cease the use and distribution of all infringing material, and all works derived from the material, and all copies, including electronic copies, of same, that you deliver to me, if applicable, all unused, undistributed copies of same, or destroy such copies immediately and that you desist from this or any other infringement of my rights in the future.
If I have not received an affirmative response from you by November 5th, 2009 indicating that you have fully complied with these requirements, I shall take further action against you.
Very truly yours,
[REMOVED]

I'm sorry to hear that you're ceasing and desisting us for what actually happens to be a rather hilarious story. However, I'm sure that you probably don't feel the same. I can't help but wonder what it's like to walk into your favorite bar and have the majority of the clientele try not to smell all at the same time.
Or what it must have been like when they took your favorite chair and put plastic wrap over it like all the furniture at Grandma's house. But one thing is clear to me like that wrap: You've been to the brink. You've clenched your ass cheeks together and failed. From here on out, you'll know the feeling of existance just before you shit yourself.
This is the feeling I'm sure came flooding back to you as you sat in your high powered office, and wrote up this letter on your high powered stationary. However, I can't help but wonder why the fuck you'd try to bring attention to this. Prior to this it was just some made up bullshit on a website, about some person who shit themselves.
Now, we know that person is you. Forgive the term, but you've started a shitstorm. Now, it's not just some local bar people that know about your shit-capades. It's the whole internet. Congratulations, you're now the shit-queen of the internet.
Sincerely,
DatingWeird.
P.S. What are you doing friday night?
