Who specifically did you send the complaint letter to? Consumerist blog has a good rundown of how to "launch an executive email carpet bomb." I apologize in advance; I realize this advice is probably too late.

i wish it could do good things , it would be a first. never wrote a letter to a big company and got an answer. although thye airline that had issues with kevin smith did apologize to him after he started the fuss.

weird my parents also blamed me for their broken marriage and also for NOT ebing able to divorce (while they're still just seprarated). i think that made me anti-marriage.

I don't know the stats, but Consumerist posts success stories. Most recent one was a landlord who wasn't going to fix a tenant's leaky ceiling for five months. Main points are to go after their bottom line, which I think Keith did in his letter by mentioning that he's relaying this problem on his radio program. It depends on how seriously they take threats of bad word of mouth.

Landlord Wouldn't Fix Leak For 5 Months. This Letter Got Him To Do It in 5 Days. - The Consumerist

This article advises that you start through official channels, which it sounds like Keith did. You escalate when you get no response.

This is the consumer wiki mentioned in the above article, for Continental. (if he wants to escalate):

Can Lucas' silence rule be enforced during the show too? He's a one man laugh track.

From what I've read on Gawker, the kiddie porn book included explicit photos of the author touching children. It was NOT just "words."

It's also why I do not accept the rationalization that viewing kiddie porn images is a victimless crime. Real children are assaulted to create the images that other pedophiles share. So frankly I don't give a shit if guy A only looks at pictures on the internet. He is creating a market in which guy B exploits and assaults children to provide the product that guy A wants.
