From time to time, we dip into the mail bag and turn over some blogspace to an opposing viewpoint. In response to our posts about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's recent trip to Lake Havasu, Arizona (in which the couple's local itinerary was recreated in painstaking detail, right down to Pitt's choice in IHOP breakfast). Writes "Disgusted with Your Story":

I am a citizen of Lake Havasu City, AZ and I am disgusted with your article. How dare you make this beautiful and wonderful town sound so bad just because of one stupid waitress and stupid reporter. I demand a retraction of your insulting comments. How dare you make this town sound like we were all star struck and acting like idiots. Anywhere they go they will be asked to sign autographs and will be followed by the news paper. So why make my town out to be the bad guy? WHY??????? I want to know WHY.

Sincerely,
disgusted with your story.

We're inclined to agree with this aggrieved reader. When we blockquoted some passages from the article from the local Today's News-Herald detailing nearly every Pitt-Jolie movement during their stay, we omitted the following pro-Havasu sentiment: 'Holt speculated that Lake Havasu City's small-town feel and tendency to let tourists go about their business is what brought them here. 'I think that's why they came here,' said Holt. 'So they could just be normal, everyday people.'" The actions of a handful of people discussing where the stars ate dinner, slept that night, the color and make of their chauffeured car, and affection for Vive Le French Toast should not be used to indict the other residents of this sleepy little town.
