TMZ Drinks the "Shawn Johnson" Haterade

After getting hundreds of hate emails, phone calls, and rage-filled comments over the last 24 hours, we at TMZ finally took the hint -- not everybody found the Shawn Johnson/Topo Gigio comparison hilarious. Sure, we'll eat the crow you shoved down our throats -- but you gotta check out some of the messages we got in our "contact us" mailbox. We even got a letter from an official Team USA Gymnastics rep!
Launch emails
Yes, we got the message loud and clear, but make sure to click through to the final email -- the one that started this whole mess in the first place.

466. IT IS BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE TMZ AND ITS SUPPORTERS THAT MOST OF THE WORLD HATES US. PEOPLE HATE AMERICA. IT IS A SAD TRUTH WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH. WHY? BECAUSE OF THE GENERAL ARROGANCE, INDIFFERENCE, IGNORANCE, AND IDIOCY OF MOST OF ITS CITIZENS.

Shawn Johnson is one of few Americans who can represent our country as a truly great nation, not only in talent, but in personality, culture, and class. She brings about a new perspective of the United States, as a nation where innocence and purity CAN exist, and not all its people are like what everyone sees: PIGS and @$$holes.

This girl, perhaps the most upstanding American citizen in history, should be respected and praised by every true American for the service and endearing light she has brought upon our country. Even the Chinese, utter rivals, are beginning to embrace her as a great person for her unwavering strength and unmatched sportsmanship. America can at least do the same.

So, if you still want to bash her, for no reason but to fulfill your own sick pleasures, go ahead, but that means you have no respect for other people but also your own country. You might as well leave immediately. Go, before America's sick process of undermining and destroying our own youth for disgusting entertainment is carried out.

She does not look anything like a rat, as TMZ so cruelly put it, nor that stuffed mouse in the picture. But what do YOU look like? And how would you look like in that same exact hairstyle Shawn has in the picture. I;m absolutely sure Shawn would look much, MUCH better than you.

Why is there even a reason to make fun of her?? Why??? Of all the people to choose from, why her??? You terrorist @$$holes just want to ruin more innocent lives? Your reasoning blows my mind. I really really hate people like you. Unfortunately, you make up most of America: the decaying nation where all the plaque is seeking to destroy the thin silver lining that is best represented by this girl.

I hope ILoveTMZ burns in hell or gets so verbally abused he hangs himself. Maybe then you;ll know what it feels like.
It;s always to the extremes with you people. You never learn. Until your arrogance brings China buying all 50 states of the USA and forcing every American citizen to work on rice farms.

467. This is TMZ. This is what they do. They report on, joke about and mock celebrities and celebrity wannabees whoever they may be, even sports figures, which is what Shawn Johnson is, not a deity set upon a pedestal to be worshiped.

Yes, Shawn and Topo do bear a resemblance to each other. Yes, it made me burst out laughing.

And, yes, Shawn Johnson is a great and gracious athlete.

468. What's wrong with people? Haven't they heard of Freedom of Speech? The fact is, the girl looks like a rat! And it's funny! None of that has anything to do with the fact that she has incredible talent! People need to lighten up.

469. That is a great look a like. I think it's cute. She and the mouse ar cute.The people who are upset must think Shawn is not so cute. But we love'd the mouse then and we love shawn now. Good work TMZ!!

470. I am going to stay here and defend Shawn Johnson's honor all night if I have to. I know her personally and I will not let anyone make these comments about her. So bring it on, b*tches! Let's see what pathetic lame-@$$ excuses you have for insulting this beautiful upstanding olympic champion. Why don't YOU people just accept the fact that all the reasonable people in the world DO NOT find this funny in the least bit and that we are morally and grossly offended by it. I'm sure Shawn would agree, although she probably won't openly admit it.

Furthermore, you think because you bash other celebrities, it is okay to bash this pure and innocent girl? Shawn Johnson may be the most sweet and morally upright girl in the world, and she definitely does not deserve to be picked on. I don't know about Miley Cyrus, but I'm not a basher. If you must be one, pick on someone who did something wrong or embarrasing, definitely NOT Shawn. Where did this come from anyways? This was a completely pointless attempt to tarnish teh reputation of a 16 year old girl we should respect and be proud of.

As far as appearances go, I don;t think any of you, or few of you, can say they look better than Shawn Johnson. She is more beautiful that any of you bashers can ever hope to be, which is probably why you are picking on her. You are ADULTS people, and you are picking on a child. Tell me that's not wrong. Pick on someone your own size. I can't even BELIEVE that someone would start SUCH A NASTY discussion on Shawn! Why??? What's the point of trying to break a little girls' spirit? Do you people have a mental problem? How far must you go??? This is extremely inappropriate on a huge scale. How dare you people look at this article and actually laugh and gossip about it!!! HOW DARE YOU. This is a signification that the human race IS generally evil and feeds on the suffering of others. As far as jokes go, this is not a joke. For a joke to be funny, it shouldn't be based on insulting a person who is generally loved by everyone that knows her: even the rival Chinese team has grown incredibly fond of her from her great sportsmanship.

To sum this all up, NONE of you people have any right to comment on how Shawn looks, and TMZ should be ashamed of their "joke." Even you people who defend TMZ should be ashamed at your stupidity and ignorance. They called her a vile RAT. Not a cute little mouse. There is a huge difference. EVERYONE should apologize to Shawn for these dispicable thoughts, and be ashamed for their illogical method of reasoning the insensitive bashing of an innocent young girl.

Why is this even still being discussed. TAKE THIS DOWN SO WE CAN ALL FORGET ABOUT IT AND MOVE ON. You wanna rub it in some more, and keep on insulting an innocent girl??? Anyone else who posts a comment here is no better than a child molester, and you should all be ashamed. The TRASH who post anyways to feed off the suffering of another human being deserves nothing less than eternal burning in the depths of hell. Tell me what the point is in supporting this article. Obviously nobody but a few lowlifes enjoy it, and NO, I DO NOT SEE THE RESEMBLANCE AT ALL. If so, I;m 100% sure you look like a donkey's @$$ or an ape for all I care. So none of you uggos have a right to comment on this.

IT IS BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE TMZ AND ITS SUPPORTERS THAT MOST OF THE WORLD HATES US. PEOPLE HATE AMERICA. IT IS A SAD TRUTH WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH. WHY? BECAUSE OF THE GENERAL ARROGANCE, INDIFFERENCE, IGNORANCE, AND IDIOCY OF MOST OF ITS CITIZENS.

NO MORE COMMENTS. TAKE DOWN THIS ARTICLE. APOLOGIZE TO ALL THOSE YOU HAVE OFFENDED, ESPECIALLY SHAWN JOHNSON.

I'm praying to god Shawn hasn't seen this yet or ever hears about it, so please, for her sake, take it down.
If anyone still wants to argue for TMZ after all that, you have serious problems.

471. For all those imbeciles that actually agree with what TMZ is saying:

1) shame on you. You are no better than a kid supporting a bully in the playground while he is picking on a small child.
2) She looks nothing like that mouse, or as TMZ said, A LITTLE RAT, especially with her normal hair.
3) Those of you who really think she looks like that RAT have insecurity problems, and just because youre sad that you look UGLY doesn't mean you can help bash an innocent child, who is much, much better looking than any of the losers who are posting derogatory comments.

Posted at 12:33PM on Aug 23rd 2008 by Jason Phelps

472. None of you have any right to comment on this, how many times have I said this already?

Who cares if you think this is cute, funny, harmless, or whatever. It doesn;t matter what you think.
The only opinion that matters is Shawn's, and, like any normal person, I know that she will NOT appreciate this, and you are just giving other people who may not like Shawn (I cant imagine who) a new insult for them to use against her.
Like I said, you are ALL bullies, and none of you idiots should say ANYTHING more on this thread.

473. I Would like to have Jason Phelps Email address, I agree!

474. To tell you the truth I think she looks more like Cindy "who" from Whooville on the Grinch that Stole Christmas. LOL.

So your arguments are that EVERYONE is a target???
So no one is safe from these crude insults???
You call this America???
WHAT A DUMP!!!!!!

If you are gonna make fun at someone, make fun at the THOUSANDS of other people that people enjoy bashing, not a 16-year old girl that everyone in America admirea and reveres. When you poke fun at someone like this, you are heading down a suicidal path.

For those people who come here, look at this article, and laugh like this is no big deal, SLAP YOURSELF REALLY HARD AND JUMP OUT THE WINDOW. You dont even know the girl, so how can you laugh and mock her??? If you actually knew what kind of a person she is, you would be heartbroken by these comments. Do you actually think this picture accurately depicts how Shawn looks? She doesn't go around everywhere with her hair pulled back. Even that picture is so outdated... it was from many years ago. So you are ridiculing how a small child looks when she pulls her hair all the way back to compete! Tell me, how did you people look when you were babies. You ALL probably looked like mice or chipmunks or even worse. So STFU and stop saying were overreacting. The truth is, you'd rather have some pointless fun than be reasonable and kind, and that makes you a horrible person.

Everyone in AMERICA should love Shawn, and nobody should make comments about her that undermines her in any way.

476. Shawn is not just anyone. She is America's sweetheart and olympic champion and in my opinion, the most attractive athlete in the 2008 games. She is pure AMERICAN BEAUTIFUL, and if you wanna call the best of America a RAT, go on ahead. It just means youre jealous. If youre gonna pick on someone, pick on someone less people love and care about, someone who hasnt been as successful, and someone with not as good looks.

Posted at 5:34PM on Aug 23rd 2008 by Jason Phelps

477. Wow, TMZ way to fold like a cheap suit. You're going to let a few over-sensitive head cases dictate what's on your website? While I think the "rat" part of the post was unnecessary, I can see where the Topo Gigo comparison is, which is only saying that this itty-bitty chickie is cute as a button.

For all those freaks who are up-in-arms: Quit putting her on a pedestal. She's worked just as hard as Britney/Christina/Miley to PUT HER NAME IN THE SPOTLIGHT. I won't go into the unhealthy aspects of being a gymnast and the unrealistic body proportions those girls must starve themselves to achieve. I'd never in a million years let my daughter idolize a gymnast or swimmer (it's my personal opinion that bulimia, anorexia and compulsive exercise may be unhealthy...crazy, I know). Get off your high-horsies and think for a minute. Of course, since none of you will ever visit this site again, hopefully this will result in less idiocy on the boards...good riddance!

What should be taken down is that statue of Shawn made out of butter. Is that thing creepy or what?

She does not look anything like a rat, as TMZ so cruelly put it, nor that stuffed mouse in the picture. But what do YOU look like? And how would you look like in that same exact hairstyle Shawn has in the picture. I;m absolutely sure Shawn would look much, MUCH better than you.

NO MORE COMMENTS. TAKE DOWN THIS ARTICLE. APOLOGIZE TO ALL THOSE YOU HAVE OFFENDED, ESPECIALLY SHAWN JOHNSON.

I'm praying to god Shawn hasn't seen this yet or ever hears about it, so please, for her sake, take it down.
If anyone still wants to argue for TMZ after all that, you have serious problems.

------------------

For all those imbeciles that actually agree with what TMZ is saying:

1) shame on you. You are no better than a kid supporting a bully in the playground while he is picking on a small child.
2) She looks nothing like that mouse, or as TMZ said, A LITTLE RAT, especially with her normal hair.
3) Those of you who really think she looks like that RAT have insecurity problems, and just because youre sad that you look UGLY doesn't mean you can help bash an innocent child, who is much, much better looking than any of the losers who are posting derogatory comments.

------------------------

None of you have any right to comment on this, how many times have I said this already?

Who cares if you think this is cute, funny, harmless, or whatever. It doesn;t matter what you think.
The only opinion that matters is Shawn's, and, like any normal person, I know that she will NOT appreciate this, and you are just giving other people who may not like Shawn (I cant imagine who) a new insult for them to use against her.
Like I said, you are ALL bullies, and none of you idiots should say ANYTHING more on this thread.

---------------------------

So your arguments are that EVERYONE is a target???
So no one is safe from these crude insults???
You call this America???
WHAT A DUMP!!!!!!

If you are gonna make fun at someone, make fun at the THOUSANDS of other people that people enjoy bashing, not a 16-year old girl that everyone in America admirea and reveres. When you poke fun at someone like this, you are heading down a suicidal path.

For those people who come here, look at this article, and laugh like this is no big deal, SLAP YOURSELF REALLY HARD AND JUMP OUT THE WINDOW. You dont even know the girl, so how can you laugh and mock her??? If you actually knew what kind of a person she is, you would be heartbroken by these comments. Do you actually think this picture accurately depicts how Shawn looks? She doesn't go around everywhere with her hair pulled back. Even that picture is so outdated... it was from many years ago. So you are ridiculing how a small child looks when she pulls her hair all the way back to compete! Tell me, how did you people look when you were babies. You ALL probably looked like mice or chipmunks or even worse. So STFU and stop saying were overreacting. The truth is, you'd rather have some pointless fun than be reasonable and kind, and that makes you a horrible person.

Everyone in AMERICA should love Shawn, and nobody should make comments about her that undermines her in any way.

--------------------------

Shawn is not just anyone. She is America's sweetheart and olympic champion and in my opinion, the most attractive athlete in the 2008 games. She is pure AMERICAN BEAUTIFUL, and if you wanna call the best of America a RAT, go on ahead. It just means youre jealous. If youre gonna pick on someone, pick on someone less people love and care about, someone who hasnt been as successful, and someone with not as good looks.

-----------------------------

dONT ANY OF YOU IDIOTS BRING UP MILEY CYRUS. SHE MAY NOT HAVE DONE ANYTHING WRONG THUS FAR, BUT SHE IS JUST IN IT FOR THE MONEY AND FAME, WHEREAS SHAWN JUST WANTS TO SET HER OWN PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENTS. THE FACT THAT SHE IS A CELEBRITY IS BECAUSE SHE DOES WHAT SHE DOES SO WELL. MILEY CYRUS IS JUST ANOTHER SHALLOW SONG ARTIST/TV STAR WHO WILL END UP JUST LIKE LINDSAY LOHAN OR BRITNEY SPEARS. i may be wrong, but I;m just saying, dont compare them.

---------------------------------------

my email is JLphelps7007@gmail.com if anyone wants to send me their picture, or Harvey's, so that I can personally make sure their picture goes up on the internet next to a pile of dog cr@p. I'm just sayin....
