An 8-Year-Old Went On An Epic Profanity-Laced Tirade After A Newspaper Dropped His Comics

The kid called the newspaper's staff "jerks, idiots, and sh*tholes."

An 8-year-old Indiana kid went on an epic rant against his local newspaper after it dropped his favorite comics.

The boy's rage was directed against the editor of the Herald-Times, Bob Zaltsberg, who wrote about the incident online.

Zaltsberg said he received a voicemail from the child, who was not named, after the newspaper announced it was changing its comic lineup.

The boy was very upset that his favorites, including Garfield, Peanuts, and Dilbert, had been nixed.

He then flew off the handle, calling the newspaper's staff "jerks," "idiots," and "shitholes."

The boy then offers the newspaper a concession, saying he will give them all his money if they bring the comics back.

Zaltsberg said he contacted the boy, who was still angry with him, and told him he could still read Frank & Ernest. This seemed to somewhat make him feel better.

The boy's mother told Zaltsberg that her son probably could have been a little nicer in his message.
