SEEK AND DESTROY

Dear Sirs: Although I find your genre' fresh and exciting, your photos works of art, and your web site easily maneuverable, I would suggest you tweak a few things here and there. One: You need a proofreader who actually knows proper grammar, sentence structure, and English. Not all smut queens and sex addicts are stupid.

DEEK IS A RATHER BOTHERSOME SOT

Dear Deek Freax,

Succotash! Sadly your silly, little magazine fails to amuse me. Reading the table of contents alone has insulted my acid reflux past the point of no return. I would rather my leg be dry-fucked by an angry horde of rabid ewox with dried up turds stuck to their dreadlocks than flip through another page of this rotting, ass-orgy of mindless hogwash. Die!

Regretfully yours,

Alfonso "The Wop" Sockhop

CAUC

To Deek It May Concern:

I am a student, activist, teacher; son, brother; lover and friend. I also happen to be a Caucasian-American. I just wanted to give y'all a "holla" to let you know how much I admire what you're doing there.

Peace and God Bless,

M. Novak

FALLOUT SHELTER

Mo,

next time take time or do not waste my time with your collection of terms that must have been uprooted via the help of speel check and a thesarus. I really could careless about your stance concerning guns because your experience with weapons seems to be limited. You use your pen or laptop to annouce that those w/o guns or those that may choose not to draw them are pussies.

Well, how many times, Mo, have you fired a gun, rifle, automatic weapon, or better yet held one? Have you had any experience with actually pointing a weapon toward another human being with the intention of firnig it.

ON THE BLUDGEONING OF ONE'S WIFE

To Deek and Ace Hurler

This was the most brilliant piece of writing we have ever come across. We have a new found respect for you Ace. This article was refreshing, innovative, and awe-inspiring. And, it was as funny as fuck. You should be writing for the NY Times. Dream big, Mr. Hurler. We have your back.

We have fallen in love tonight. And it wasn't with Jim, the bitch, or her former house mate. You do the math.

Love,

Jean and Tanya

Two Adamant Fans

P.S. Maybe you want to go on a date with us?

P.S.S. We're both single

P.S.S.S And hott.

MUSIC

Deek,

If you'd like me to make a 60-word ass out of myself, I'll do it - just as long as we can get something into the next issue that's a little more sincere - no less entertaining - just a little more credible. By the way: what do you think of the album anyway?

THE HASIDIC REGGAE INTERVIEW THAT NEVER HAPPENED

Deek,

I'm sorry to say that given Matis' hectic schedule, It's not going to be possible to set up an interview with him in time to make your deadline. I hope Deek Magazie is still be able to run an album review, but as of now, I don't think an interview is in the cards.
All the best,

Michael LaVigne

ART

Art Department at DEEK:

You imagined it and I lived it. These were kids never had their shirts off. One came with her father and one with a boyfriend. White girl was a no show. I was able to keep everything cool but it was a nude photographer white on black with family looking on. Your preconceived story line is out of a 70's mag you are trying to copy. I broke the barrier and you missed it. Whittie undressing the young daughter in front her father. He's 6'5" security for a hotel chain. Other boyfriend has a BMA. You can't make up a story like this. Why me? This is what I do. Look at the Sept issue of Jade where I'm featured. If that's the stuff you want fine. I know I did something no white photographer could do. I have another in the wings. When a black person talks to me there is no color. It's like a dog that can smell you. They know.

ET CETERA

Deek,

"These were human beings in whom there was no longer a trace of anything human; these were men who really had turned into animals." - Benno Zieser, Wehrmacht, on Russian prisoners of war

The hipster is the eternal enemy of mankind. In no other group do we find all that is good, noble, and strong degraded and all that is weak, ugly, and sick exalted. This attitude can be traced to the inherent physical and mental frailty of the hipster, a deficit only amplified by acceptance into the society of sickness. So powerful and emboldened has this underclass become, that it is leaking into and tainting the noble classes on which this country is built. Any and all available means should be used to halt and reverse this infection.
