I Can't Believe It's Not McSweeney's

I've never taken a shining to Steely Dan before, but they've recently sprang to the top of my "current favorite people" list with this letter on their website. They hate Owen Wilson so much that they don't even send a letter to Owen, but to his brother Luke (admittedly less annoying and omnipresent as Owen's smug toothy grin is right now). Even better, they've got the McSweeney's writing style down pat -- ambiguous emotional tone, colloquialisms, unpredictable changes of subject and side comments.

I could go into the interesting copyright conundrum referenced in the letter (wherein this new Owen flick is apparently a rip-off of a Steely Dan tune), but like I said, haven't really listened to much Steely Dan, and you already know I hate watching Owen Wilson (and his teeth!!!), so no copyright class for today, kids. Early dismissal.
