Do you really want to buy Canadians? They tend to be rather indisposed to actually working, which negates the purpose of owning them.

i first came across this excellent spiel around 2010 or so in the chat of a game i was playing. i copied it and sent it to many friends, shit i probably posted it to facebook at some point. it seems to be one of the earliest "copypastas." is it even possible that it was an actual letter to Dr. Laura?

Someone should get him to read those Sims 3 patch notes that're like "stopped Death from trying to have sex with people in elevators" or whatever. I'm gonna go watch that video again.

I shall think about this letter when or before I'll call my offspring "spoiled"

I've thought the word, "cremains" is cringe AF from the first time I heard it. IDK why we have to euphemize everything, "ashes" is perfectly fine. After all, "ashes to ashes, dust to dust" is commonly known to be how we all go out. Why gloss over it?

It is a religion!

Is her hair like...a "character", or is "cavewoman" in, right now?

So many beautiful and poignant comments on here.

Africa is the mother of all people scattered to the 4 corners of this earth. The circle of life is protected near the tree of life in The Garden of Eden...Amen

“Spirit” define

Yasss queen, slay. Sleeping with younger men means you’re beautiful and you should encourage this

I know this is a light-hearted skit, but there are those who still believe a “holy book” is our only source of objective morality.

American church preachers could learn from her... : )

Luddites hate progress

Beautiful justice and eloquent response.

As a fellow Salt Lake resident, I couldn't help giving a cheer when I heard where the writer was from. There's some crap that our city won't put up with.

Quite rightly, you can have some fun pointing out the more bizarre strictures of the bible, the worst that may happen is some offended tut tutting, but I would strongly suggest not trying similar with the Koran, you can bet the consequences will be rather more serious, even fatal.

Hell, calling Dr. Laura. We have your reservation ready.

For those interested, the $11,680 in back pay works out to him being owed $246,489.04 in today's terms. :)

I understand not being able to own Canadians...They talk funny and they don't know what bacon is. It might be nice to own a couple of Germans though...Maybe a Thai guy to mix it up a bit. ;)

In Australia "How's it hanging?" is a well know greeting.

Tragic

Yes, the Bible touting rabble’s ridiculousness exposed. God’s word is eternal, well would have been if it was penned by a Deity, but unfortunately most of it was written by old horny blood lusting bigots very similar to those that spouts its divine origin today.

Matt Berry could read sugar cookie recipes and it will still be hilarious!

Whoever wrote this letter has obviously watched The West Wing, because they use a bunch of the same examples, in the same order, just with a few extra ones thrown in, as President Bartlet does.

This is ridiculous ... She's so young, and acts like the world just started tomorrow--thanks for dumping on all the great women who've accomplished so much: Mimi Leder, Michelle Yeoh, ETC!

GOSH....his indian accent is ATROCIOUS for someone who won the bloody oscar. He cannot even pronounce name of Gandhi at the end correctly!!!

Not sure why Margolyes gives Anais an American accent, given that she was Spanish/French. But, great to relive these passionate moments between two very intense writers.

What about all of the effort and creativity of the scientists that have worked on AI? Do we just discard that?

I don't get it

This speech could have been written by ChatGPT. It's so utterly one-sided.

Brilliant strong woman! Thank you for caring about girls

A fair price for a daughter is 50 shekels of silver, or roughly $467 (£372). For the Bible says it's so.

Jesus loves you 🤔

Brilliant response brilliantly read by Taika Waititi! 😂

how come that letter wasnt censored?! haha

Olivia Colman has to read my tomb speach when I die

Does the Empress have a memorial to this incident? If not, they should install one. That story is just too good.

wars are fought, people expelled from their lands and killed, waters, sees and grounds polluted for us rich western people to be able to live our ridiculous luxurious lives now, in 2024. We never stopped making war, we just moved it away from our premises.

Beautiful letter, written by a beautiful queen 👑❤

a down to earth person this queen elizabeth was

what a great read, well done Himesh

was ita real letter?!

"We were lead into a room with one light bulb hanging from the centre of the ceiling - which when turned one made the room seem darker."

i loved louise reading, benedicts i thought was a bit less, bu then the content of the letter was perhaps more dull then that of louise...!

hurray to olivia colman!
