This letter was received on Friday in regards to the New Year's Video.

This letter is in reference to the New Years video recently posted on
the Chook Industries web site.  Its intention is to set the record
straight.   I am an employee of Chook Industries and was in attendance
at the Millennial New Years party.  At about 11 o'clock in the evening,
two young white males, whom for lack of a better description might be
refereed to as "hoodlums", gatecrashed the party.  With them they also
had a lady friend.  The two males began to shout at us, things like "GET
OUT HERE AND DANCE YOU @$#$@!!!"  I would rather not use the actual
guttural tongues these dogs spoke in, being as I'd rather not stoop to
the level of these lower life forms.  When no one beckoned to their
call, one of them took the girl they brought with  them to the center of
the floor and started grinding with her.  I was disgusted.  The other
slimeball sat and chanted lewd things and eventually got out on the
floor and started grinding the girl also.  They started catcalling again
and when none of the 'grownup individuals' in attendance would respond,
they finally left.  When I later asked Executive Management about
security at the New Years Party and as to how these two individuals got
on the premise in the first place, I was told I would have to submit an
official complaint through "proper channels".  I did so six times and I
finally got a reply in April.  Chook's tardy and sloppy answer was that
I should have notified security myself that uninvited people had come to
the party and because I hadn't their was no way that they could be held
responsible.  Needless to say, I was infuriated and even more so because
the blame was pinned on me.  And just for the record, I would also like
to mention that both those individuals who crashed the party also
somehow managed to get raffle tickets.  Splendid security job Chook. 
What really upsets me about the entire fiasco is that Chook unveiled the
New Years Video as if it was something grand, a night to remember, when
it in fact was far from.  If Chook had of put up the video "on" time, I
would find this all much easier to swallow.  But being as they didn't,
and they ushered it in as some sort of ID4.  I received several
different colored flyers in my pigeonhole stating that the video was on
the web site, not to mention numerous emails to both my business and
personal home accounts.  I was not going to say anything, but last
Friday when I received a phone call at my house telling me to be "sure
to check the web site", I was really, really pissed.  I would ask that
the Employee BBS withhold my name on this complaint since I feel that I
speak for many.

Sincerely,
Angered over New Years

I feel it is very stupid to hype a New Year's Video, and then put 
it up 7 months later.  It's closer to next New Year's now than the 
one in the crappy-assed video.  Get with the program.
