Shawn Johnson -- The Worm Turns

So you raged at us after we saw a certain similarity between Shawn and Topo Gigio.
Launch emails
We posted some of your vitriolic emails, and then, suddenly, the tide turned! You saw our point.

So which is it? Were we heinous, or do we have a point?

16. why pick on kids, aren't there many celebs you can pick on. There shoulders can hold more. Hey how about pics of yourselves and animals you look like. That would be funny.

18. The young lady is good at what she does and cute as a button but her ears are a touch on the large size. The large ears are made worse by sticking out. She could have plastic surgery and fix her ears and be a real babe!!!!

19. even if it was funny... TMZ still sux.

(See Judith Light, and not being able to tell the guy from Lost from a random Asian guy walking down the street, and asking a man whose father has been dead for 10+years how is father is doing, and asking the hard rocking, man/woman kissing, tattooed dude what he thinks of Dancing with the Stars.)

21. I agee with #13! Move on- although, it was a cute , an underaged Olympian was a wrong candidate! It's definately a wrap though!

22. To all the do gooders who don't like poor little Shawn being picked on. OK,You're right! There's no resemblence...that is until you knock out all of her teeth except for the front two!

24. I thought it was pretty funny. I also think this young lady is adorable and it going to make a beautiful woman.

26. Careful Harvey, your steppin' on some potential Don Imus territory here. Underage child bashin' at it's finest. I'll give you a gold medal for a vault into the simply ridiculous.

27. I think the real issue is that she looks like fievel, from the cartoon fievel goes west.

28. Honestly... Its not like they were comparing her to one of the Rats of Nymm - The little mouse looks like a precious moment figurine and so does she. It was cute and you could have compared her to a number of things but kept it as a harmless We're Just Sayin'. While I am on your side TMZ - I am just wondering if you are noticing the abundance of the grammatical errors on Team TMZ as apposed to the majority of well written e-mails from the TMSuckZ team.

Apparently I fall under the classification of ignorant Americans that think any public figure, including children (i,e, Suri Cruise and her scientobottle), is public fodder. I can't figure out how I feel about that... I think perhaps enlightened.

People need the bugs out of their ass.

29. Yeah, the "you little rat" was way too much, but I do think that Shawn is such a pretty young lady, and yes so she happens to look like a mouse. But have you seen pictures of her with her hair down? She's gorgeous!

30. Who the fu-k cares about your point? If your fu-king point hurt the feelings of a 16 year old girl, does that make it okay because you said "were just saying". Calling her a "little rat" was way off base. What are you trying to prove by dragging this subject on and on? Was it worth continuing on with "proving your point" to lose many of your loyal readers?

Heres to wishing that a paparazi takes a pic of one of your kids and makes a mockery of them on another website. Cheers to TMZ for making their point!!
