    Joel Stein is a noted Time magazine columnist and guy you see on TV from time to time. He gets a lot of hate mail. And most of it is hilarious. So we asked him to send us some of his favorites, with a comment on each. And he did. But before you start, you should probably go buy his new book, "Man Made - A Stupid Quest for Masculinity."

    Joel says: I did fall for this. Not that I thought this guy would be my biggest fan, but that he got me to fuck myself. That said, I was already online and one click away from YouJizz.com so it wasn’t that great of an accomplishment.

    Joel says: Sometimes, one phrase can make an entire essay. In this case, that phrase was “arrogant ass-clown.” It got to me because it’s not an entirely inaccurate description of who I am.

    Joel says: I like that, though he questioned my masculinity, he still wanted me on his God-fearing team. In the end, he cared about me, and that took away the sting from the uterus thing. And the fact that my wife doesn’t want to have a second kid.

    Joel says: I did not realize my review of the Jollibee, the Fillipino fast food chain that came to America, would spark so much hate mail. Here’s what Google Translate told me the end of the second paragraph says: “You can imagine great writer? Here's just say I syo.

    Joel says: I admire him for sticking with “your” instead of “you’re.” He is a man who sticks to his guns.
