Want to complain about the material on the site?

Step this way

by De Management

Okay, so you heard about this satire site on the Internet, you checked out a couple of stories and chuckled but then you saw one thing and really, well, that was too much. Who do these people think they are? That's just in bad taste.

We don't know whether it was the Princess Diana piss-take that you have taken grave offence at, or maybe you're feeling all patriotic and didn't like the way we lampooned your leader or we touched a subject that has some personal connotations and you'd like someone to blame.

Maybe we are just bad people and if it wasn't for people like us, the world would be a better place.

Whatever it is, we are not going to dismiss you. In fact we want to actively encourage you to complain if that's what you feel is needed. Don't worry about the simplicity of getting in contact - yes, many people do send emails without thinking or reading the whole story, but you're not one of them are you? - just get it off your chest. You'll feel much better.

We do ask one thing though before you start relieving the pressure in your head. Could you please judge the level of your anger and then reply to one of the corresponding three email address given below. It would be a great help. If you are in doubt which group you are in, we suggest you step up to the angrier level.

Thanks a lot for getting in touch and we looking forward to reading your words of fury.

Just how angry are you?

If you could take a moment to reflect on your own fury and judge what an impartial observer would make of your current state of mind and then chose one of the three options below.

  • Not at all happy — You wouldn't shout at us, but you'd certainly make your views known. Please stand up for yourself and email us at minor-niggles@therockalltimes.co.uk.
  • Really angry — Seething a little, you'd ask us a loaded question and then raise your voice immediately. If we were dismissive, you'd probably shout. You'd stop short of physical violence but would tell everyone that you were thinking about it. Please send your rant to hate-mail@therockalltimes.co.uk.
  • Fuc*king furious — You haven't even read the stuff above. You just saw "fuc*king furious" and came straight here. You're not even reading this now, you've clicked on the email address already. Get it out! Get it out! Only then will the mist fade. The one for you, you poor soul, is death-threats@therockalltimes.co.uk.

If it's of any use to you, we don't set out to offend people. And the worst thing is we most likely won't bother to read your email. Sorry 'bout that.
