We tried to ask Shawn Johnson if she'd seen that whole Topo Gigio mess, but she vaulted over the question like the gold medalist she is.
Hey, we had to go there -- she was standing right outside the Ed Sullivan Theater, after all.

So you raged at us after we saw a certain similarity between Shawn and Topo Gigio.

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?

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!

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.

Only one of them is a puppet.
We're just sayin'...
