Three out of four Jossip employees currently at our Manhattan office agree: Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” induces tears. Only our ad man Brandon answered in the negative. On a related note, three out of four employees at the office agree: Brandon’s heartless.
After the jump: a not-moving image of “The Promise,” which also makes us cry. Except Brandon, natch.

What’s wrong with Brandon?!? Tracy Chapman can induce tears in anyone.
mister
In the words of the famous orator Ice Cube “Better check yo self before you wreck yo self”. I would cry if God had remembered to give me tear ducts or a soul for that matter.
Sincerly-
Bitter Bothersome Brandon

I love me some Tracy.

I. Love. Tracy. Chapman.
OLD Tracy, tho. Her more current work… I dunno. I liked the pain.

Off topic, but this email thread has shown up all over the place. It’s an email thread from Fox News Employee, Roger Friedman. The email address has been confirmed to be his and when I emailed the other person in the thread, he says he knows Roger Friedman personally but they don’t talk anymore. Enjoy:

Just wondering if you watched that illegal immigrant thing I sent you yesterday. I know you have a strong opinion on this – as you should – and was curious to hear about your views. Personally, I think they should invest in machine guns and the next time these guys march, shoot to kill!

Roger,
I’m surprised that somebody who is Jewish would write that. You know the Germans said the same thing about the Jews. To a certain extent, they still do. What is causing you such hatred?

Well, you know how much I hate J-Low, so I’m projecting my hatred against her on all Mexicans. But seriously, why are you suddenly defending these people? Given a chance, they would kill your mother, kill your brother, steal your social security number, and do everything else they can to hurt you. I have nothing against Latinos. After all, Ignacio – my ex – is Latino. But there is a difference between Mexicans and other Latinos. Mexicans are like cockroaches; they keep reproducing and reproducing but what they are reproducing are – well – not very productive. Mexican woman don’t have babies; they hatch them. They don’t care about their children; they are only used as anchor babies. Because Mexicans lack family values, their children end up in gangs.

Roger,
Wow! I am shocked as I read this. Did some Mexican refuse to give you free tickets to a movie premiere or something? Seriously my reason for being against illegal immigration is because both of my parents are immigrants. They came here legally and it just hurts me to see so many take advantage of the system. However, I also understand that these people are practically invited here by our workforce so they can do jobs for far cheaper than they would pay Americans. So we are really laying out the red carpet for them.

So they can do jobs? These people don’t work; they steal, lie and cheat. Actually, Mexicans don’t have the brain capacity to do any work and that’s why they collect welfare so much. Killing them really won’t be a loss because it would be the same thing as putting a fogger in your house – or apartment in my case – to kill cockroaches.

Roger,
I think Bill O’Reilly is having too much of an influence there on you. You guys must be good buddies.

With Mr. Falafel? Please – and let me assure you – Bill O’Reilly is more gay than both of us put together. Go read the details of the Andrea Mackris sex tapes right here. I’m sorry but what straight guy actually uses vibrators and a dildo on himself? Bill O’Reilly doesn’t talk to me much because he doesn’t like the fact that I stick up for Rosie O’Donnell. He’s nothing but a blowhard, closeted, blotch-faced idiot and I’m still wondering why Fox puts him on our payroll.

Roger,
Okay you convinced me. Bill O’Reilly and you aren’t friends. But you sound more bitter than he has ever sounded. Something has come over you recently. You are an excellent writer. Lately however your columns sound like psychological rants. Your emails sound like psychological rants. Something has gone definitely wrong. I am telling you this because I respect you but I think you should seek therapy to see why you are acting like this.

Since my seroconversion I HAVE been seeking therapy and it’s no GOD DAMN joke you fucking idiot! You know what – why don’t you go fuck off and die. Better yet, why don’t you just go somewhere and blow yourself up like so many of your cousins love doing. People like you – you know, the ones who make less than six figures per year in the industry – are the bitter ones. You are Z-list losers who are jealous of people – like me – who have actually made it big. I also suggest getting some deodorant. The last time we had lunch you smelled like a dead cat. In America – you see – we believe in showering. We also believe in free speech and don’t condemn others who express their honest opinions. Goodbye, Jeff! Al Qaeda needs you!
