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?

31. She does look like a little mouse, what's wrong with that? I'd rather be compared to a cute little mouse then a big ugly rat.
Get a sense of humor people.

32. You guys are way out of line. She looks more like Mickey Mouse. "TUMBLING IS FUN BOYS & GIRLS!!!"

33. The comparison isn't bad, I think people had more of a problem with tmz alluding that Ms. Johnson was a rat/puppet. At any rate I always thought tipo gigo (or whatever that things name is) was a mouse if you want to get technical. Its not exactly respectful to allude to that especially towards a star athelete who is still underage, but seriously, TMZ is NOT the place to go if you want to see people showing respect to one another.

35. Topo Gigio is a little Italian mouse, not a rat.

37. As a TMZ fan, you lost me. Pick on the slutty Hiltons who crave any sort of media or the reality tv low lifes who are trying to prolong their 15 mins of fame. But honestly, picking on a 16 year old who just accomplished more than any of will in your lifetime is a low blow. I think that the most disgraceful thing was knowing that your fans didn't agree with this piece and then putting up a post saying that we do. WE DON'T!!! TAKE IT DOWN YOU SHAMEFUL A-HOLES!

40. Oh Yeah! The Macho Man thinks the real story here is that half the people who come here think TMZ sucks.

41. To Local Reporter's comment:

While you were on your soap box of "grammatical errors" - you made one yourself. It's OPPOSED not apposed. However, I do see your point.

People, do you realize that YOU are the reason that TMZ pushes the envelope? You watch it, you read it, you thrive off of it. So quit complaining or quit consuming. It's entertainment, and noone is forcing you to be a part of it. Get off the cross, and put your efforts into something worthwhile.

42. TMZ has such a need to be validated it is silly. Am I the only one who thinks they are fudging the #'s on the poll. You know picking on adults is one thing but when it moves to kids, well I dont think it is very classy, but then this is TMZ. Advertisers do you pay any attetion to how vile this place has become?

43. A source close to TMZ disclosed that in order to protect them from further humiliation they resorted to having staffers, friends and family send emails "pro TMZ" to help ease the scrutiny

44. WOW.....deleting posts now, TMZ?

45. OK, I am really keeping an eye on these votes and while the # of people voting change constantly, the percentage of what people are voting NEVER changes. These people are just getting to be too much!
