The dude emailed me after I expressed interest in his Bunny project. Even worse, his email was not only in all caps but a larger font and bold face. Here you go---
WHOA... HOLD ON! YOU ARE COMPARING MY IDEA TO 'TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA
TURTLES'. MAN... WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING!?! THE ONLY ASPECT EVEN
CLOSE IS THE FACT THE MY CHARACTER IS A TALKING ANIMAL AND SO WAS THEIRS.
BUT IF THAT IDEA IS TRUE, THEN WE SHOULD HAVE DISMISSED THEM BECAUSE
THEY WHERE A RIP-OFF OF THE MUPPETS WHICH RIP-OFFED SEVERL HUNDRED
BOOKS BEFORE THEN! THE REASON I EVEN THOUGHT KEVIN WOULD BE INTERESTED
IS BECAUSE I AM A BIG FAN AND I LOVE HIS WORK. HE IS THE ABSOLUTELY BEST AT
TAKING REAL LIFE SITUATIONS AND THROWING THEM IN A BLENDER WITH UNREAL
SITUATIONS TO MAKE SOME FUNNY ASS STUFF. MY IDEA IS THIS AND MORE...! BUT IF
YOU THINK WE ARE JUST A BUNCH OF DRUNKEN, RETARTED, PEOPLE, AND KEVIN
FEELS THE SAME...! THEN MAYBE WE ARE JUST WASTING OUR TIME AND MONEY ON
YOUR STUFF! DON'T GET ME WRONG! THE GATOR ARMY HAS JUST BEGUN... AND I
HOPE DEARLY THAT KEVIN AND HIS TEAM WILL WANT TO BE A PART OF IT. BUT IF HE
IS TO BIG FOR HIS SHOES, AND DOESN'T REMEMBER WHERE HE CAM FROM...! WELL, I
WISH YOU ALL THE BEST OF LUCK!! THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION...!

I don't want to incur the wrath of the gator army or anything, and I certainly don't speak for Kevin, but Christ on a bike, the internet has just become the stupiest invention since pop rocks when it's used to send messages such as this. Personal highpoints---
"Rip-offed"
"If you think we are a bunch of drunken, retarded, people"
"My idea is this and more!"
Hey, buddy, if you want to make your point, put out a comic. A web site displaying a logo, a lack of knowledge of the english langauge and a mastery of the caps lock key does not a genius make.
Seriously, if Kevin's reading this, I have a good idea that I'd like to share. It's called SPACE MONKEYS. I can't tell you what it's about, but I can say it involves monkeys, but in space of some kind. I have a logo of a monkey head (representing "monkeys") in front of a graphic of the planet saturn (representing "space"). I think Kevin is a master of taking dialog and absurd situations and making a kick ass flick, so it would be a match made in heaven.
What do you guys think?
