WINNER OF OPEN LETTER WRITING COMPETITION
(May to June 2005)...
Here's the winner of the unheardwords.com and wordstory.com open letter writing competition which closed 30.June.05. In summary, the judges felt the letter was clear, creative and amusing in seeking to score a direct hit on
its ‘reality Tv’ target – the supernanny. It makes some nice references to other characters such as the tooth fairy and Darby and Joan, and manages to deliver a twist in the final line. Our
Congratulations and the
prize go to Delroy Oberg.

Dear Supernanny,
I hate you! I superhate you! And I hate your TV programme - though I'd love
that posh car you drive around in.
You're like the Tooth Fairy - nice to believe in, but you don't really
exist. If I were an atheist, I'd put you on a par with God. Actually, you've
got a few delusions that way yourself. You're always right; you make people
cringe when you deliver your judgments, and you perv on them when they think
no-one is watching. (I'm surprised someone hasn't taken you to court for
that one!)
Honestly, your show is unbelievable. As if you could really work such
wonders with those hopeless parents and their horrible offspring in just one
month! And have them stay that way, perfect models, until such time as the
parents graduate to Darby and Joan, and their offspring produce offspring of
their own - presumably to be raised according to your narrow precepts,
within the narrower precincts of the Naughty Room!
Incidentally, nobody nowadays is called "Jo-Jo" - unless they hail from a
circus. But you are a performer, aren't you? No wonder people speculate as
to whether or not the families we see are really paid professional actors!
I'll bet all the other channels are madly digging for dirt - and I don't
mean in a sand-pit at a children's playground having quality time with their
own kids!
But if you are for real, Supernanny, I STILL hate you. Where were you when I
needed you?
Love, DELROY
