In the old days, when someone wanted you to apologize it was for something you had done to them. And the way it worked was they would ask you for an apology and you would tell them to go screw themselves. But we live in a new age where apologies are done differently. Nowadays, the way apologies work is that you demand that someone you don't personally know apologize to someone else that you don't personally know. This is another form of modern outsourcing and, as such, has become quite the rage in the more technologically sophisticated areas of the United States.
As a result, in order to keep up with the times, I am creating this Apology Thread and starting it off with my own demands for apologies from people I have never met. First, I demand that George Lucas apologize to Star Wars fans for writing and directing Stars Wars Episodes 1, 2 and 3 and that he further apologize to movie fans in general for producing Howard the Duck. Second, I demand that Norm Coleman apologize to the good people of the state of Minnesota for losing to Al Franken in the 2008 senatorial race. And because this race had national implications, Norm Coleman may want to consider expanding his apology to include the citizens of all these United States. Third, I demand that Madonna apologize to Kabbalah worshippers for joining their religion and thereby making a mockery of it.
Now that I have issued my apology demands, I would like to invite my fellow freepers to issue their own apology demands to people they don't know.
And lastly, because I don't want this post to end on a purely negative note, I would like to personally thank Mitchell Mortaza for founding the Women's Lingerie Football League. Mitchell, if you are reading this, I just want to say "Never Give Up! Never Surender!"
Fire up the belt sander!
No comment.

Mea Culpa. :-)
I would very much like an apology from a college professor of mine in journalism who told me to drop out if I didn't want to wake up in time to attend class.
Joke's on him. They graduated me anyway.
I'd also like an apology from Jacob Arminius. He screwed up the Reformation completely...almost. All to impress his father-in-law.
I'd like Seinfeld to apologize that he ended his show, and I'd like Ellen to apologize that she got another one.
While on the subject, I'd like whoever made Ellen the spokesperson for Cover Girl Make-up to have their head examined. She's the husband, for Pete's sake. Husbands don't wear make-up.
This feels really good. I'm going to have to apologize to all of you because I just might spend a lot of time adding to this list.
I want a big mea culpa from the electric company. My bills are ridiculous.
I want an apology from Macy's for increasing my credit limit.
I want an apology from someone for my shoe size. 10 1/2 narrow is not easy to find.
I've waited for years to get an apology from our sons' middle school who taught them how to put a condom on a banana without my permission. They now get all their potassium from orange juice.
I want an apology from google because every time I search "Calvin" the first 50 or so hits are negative.
I want an apology from all the obituary writers who said Michael Crichton was a pulp fiction author.
I'll get back to you...
Sorry.
Buy your shoes on-line, I prefer the NIKE 312630-14.
Wonderful, Dr. E!
