As a follow up of my Ticked off Tuesday post, I wanted to give the "snail mail" info for NBC and "The Office" show (the American version).

her my space page address has not been updated since June 2007, but it can’t hurt to send her a message there too.

B.J. Novak (a writer and creator of the show)

I have listed on my page the advertisers of the episode where Dwight kills Angela’s cat terribly. It can’t hurt to write them too.

Perfectly Parker has some wonderful talking points on her site to mention in your letters. Emails are nice, but "snail mail" often gets a lot more attention. Also, NBC appears to be sending the same "auto response" to everyone who sent a complaint email. The Hot(m)bc left a comment on Parker’s Thursday post with a great sample letter for kitties (and beans) to use. I know most of you don’t watch it, but "The Office" is a very popular show and I think it is a terrible precident for a show to use this type of cruelty as fodder for humor.

NBC.com shows full length episodes of "The Office" on its website and I think even if you don’t watch it usually, it would  be a good idea to watch it online to reference specific lines. To quote Parker "Take Action!"
