Dear Woot, your recent writeup for the Sunpak FlexPod Pro Plus Panhead Tripod offended me greatly, Here is an itemized list of how and why.

1) Your direct reference to how the consumer can extend the legs of the Sunpak FlexPod Pro Plus Panhead Tripod was far too graphic and explicit to be allowed on the Internet.

2) There was no need to mention the ballhead and the quick-release plate. What is this, a frat party?

3) I found the discussion of the way the thermoplastic legs can bend, grip and wrap around almost anything to be very disrespectful to both men and women. Furthermore, it was offensive to buffalos, flamingos and the North American Lynx. I am not fortunate to have a Lynx for a friend, but I promise you, I know whereof I speak.

4) I simply can’t believe that you talked about the three-way panhead. Do you know that children read this site? What are they supposed to think?

5) The part with the elephant. The whole part with the elephant. For shame.

In the future, I hope very much that you try to keep a better, classier site, especially when discussing an area like photography, which has long been known as a hobby with minimal filth. And please, hire some more mature writers.

Yours sincerely,

Buttsworth Fartypants III
