Open Letter to Bill O'Reilly in response to Hip Hop Group's boycott of Pepsi...

As many of you may have read...Russell Simmons and the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network (HSAN) plan to boycott Pepsi during the NBA All-Star Weekend in Atlanta in protest of Pepsi dropping rapper Ludacris as spokeperson...only to replace him with the Osbournes during Super Bowl Sunday. Conservative commentator was very vocal about Ludacris saying he was foul-mouthed and accused Pepsi of being 'immoral'. Paul Moreland of 4Korners Newspaper out of NYC posted this letter with a picture of Ozzy looking at the devil...good read!...

An Open Letter to Bill O'Reilly

Dear Mr. Bill O'Reilly

We need your help! You see you have been the most vocal voice on
issues dealing with the moral decadence of American society, and even
though you only seem to single out rappers and ignore any other genre
that contributes to this erosion of "wholesome Americanism" we are
going up against one of your formidable foes, Pepsi Co.

You see after you thrust them, along with yourself into the national
spotlight by getting Ludacris dropped as a spokesmen for the company
because he is "is demeaning just about everybody, and is peddling
antisocial behavior" and becoming the new champion of the Christian
Right, we figure who more befitting to spearhead the newest campaign
targeting your arch nemesis Pepsi. You did say "we applaud Pepsi's
decision but there's a bigger story here, and that is our growing
trend in America to reward disgraceful behavior." Well, as they would
say in the "hood" that you claim to be so familiar with, I think
they're disrespecting your gangster son! They had the nerve to
feature Ozzy Osborne in their biggest advertisement campaign, during
the Super Bowl of all "All American" spectacles.

Now, knowing how you feel about "gangster" rappers promoting wholesome
"All American" products like Pepsi, I know you must've blew your lid
when you heard Pepsi tapped the world's most famous Satanist to do
their biggest ad, right? I just know we can depend on you to ride on
this one. If you're not familiar with the tenets of Satanism let me
enlighten you bro, these dudes are into animal sacrifice and rampant
child abuse, worse than Catholic priests.

I know Ozzy wears a cross on his show but that's to throw you off
Bill, I really feel like this is the right one for you. His influence
over those children you always talk about saving is overwhelming.
They thrusted him and his dysfunctional family into TV history while
you were chasing Ludacris, Jay-Z and Snoop. Brilliant rating scheme
might I add, but this one should take you through the roof (Fox' top
rated show vs. MTV's top rated show). I know, I know they tried to
play the race card and talk about Britney when you attacked Luda, and
you said "I don't feel Britney Spears is a threat to the nation" but
you did call on ALL Americans "to fight back and punish Pepsi for
using a man who degrades women, who encourages substance abuse, and
does all the things that hurt particularly the poor in our society."
While you were talking about Ludacris then, who would've known that
argument applies to Ozzy now. I really feel this is the fight for
you.

By the way, are you familiar with Ozzy's lyrics? Let me fill you in
son. In 1981 he was talking about "wine is fine, but whiskey's
quicker/suicide is slow with liquor, Take a bottle drain your sorrows,
then it floods away tomorrow- "Suicide Solution". That same year he
made a song called "Mr. Crowley" in admiration for Aleister Crowley,
the world renowned occultist that many refer to as "Satan" and who
others called "the most wickedest man in the world".

He plead with the world this same year on an album entitled "Diary of
a Madman" , by telling us "I have a vision that I just can't control,
I feel I 've lost my spirit and sold my soul." Not a lot has changed
with Mr. Osborne, he came back in 2001 on an album called "Down to
Earth" on a track titled "Running Out Of Time" , and confessed, "I
haven't even got a soul to sell'. Whoa, that dude needs heavy
medication, maybe he shouldn't even be on MTV. What do you think,
since your thoughts seem to count so much?

I know this one will tick you off... it's called "Junkie" and it's
off the off of the same album: "You crave the needle to stick in your
vein, can't wait for the poison to kill all the pain. You buy a cheap
ticket to take a short ride, that beautiful flower is eating your
mind." I think we got him on that one, huh Bill?

Ludacris might blow some "sticky, icky, icky, icky" and Snoop might be
one with the "Chronic" but this dude [Ozzy]is clearly stoned on every
episode of his show... along with his underage children! You would
think you would be on the set picketing the joint! Mr. O'Reilly, I'm
very disappointed in you. You slipping dog. You don't have
preferences do you? Well, I have to question that, you did run Snoop
off of the Muppets but your very own network, Fox, gave him his start
on "King of the Hill", as a cartoon pimp! I know Mr. Murdoch is the
check signer and you're not trying to step on toes, but you gangster
dog, what up?

You also overlooked when someone from Osborne's ilk, Alice Cooper
(Kiss) was on the Muppets trying to convince those darling puppets to
sell their souls. You dismissed it on the grounds that Cooper had
clown make up so that makes it less severe than Snoop? Whoa, you is
slipping dog!... Wait a minute, it also says here that in 72' Cooper
dropped a joint called "School's Out", talking about; "School's out
for summer/School's out forever/My school's been blown to pieces". At
that time you were a high school teacher in Florida. And you remained
mute? Damn, dog and this was decades before Columbine! Then two
years later, Cooper records "Cold Ethyl" which goes, "Ethyl's frigid
as an Eskimo pie/She's cool in bed/Well she oughta be cuz Ethyl's
dead." And what do you say about this dude on your show? "I always
thought the guy could-write pretty good songs, you know (05/03/99)"

C'mon stop the b*llsh*t, you got a dude that simulated decapitations
on stage while performing, alongside a dude that bites bat heads off
on stage and you reserve this kind of language for Luda; a 'dangerous'
man whose message is "Look, be an outlaw. Take narcotics. Abuse
people. Punch people. Hurt people." Slow the f*ck down partner,
clearly you're barking up the wrong tree, I think I got the candidate
for your next circus, the motherf*cking OSBORNE'S, and until you find
some nuts to cut the double standard bullsh*t, then SHUT THE F*CK UP!
Oh yeah, I know he has friends in the White House, but with a
president so hell bent on going to war with people who've branded him
the "Great Satan", he makes you guys look pretty bad by openly calling
himself a "Devil", just thought you should know. Well, whenever
you're ready, we got your back. Now I want to see you get on your
moral high horse and ride on that!

Sincerely,
Paul Moreland
