Really Bad Writing Celebrated
And the “winning” sentence was…
“Detective Bart Lasiter was in his office studying the light from his one small window falling on his super burrito when the door swung open to reveal a woman whose body said you’ve had your last burrito for a while, whose face said angels did exist, and whose eyes said she could make you dig your own grave and lick the shovel clean.”
The Bulwer-Lytton fiction contest was started in 1982 by the English Department at San Jose State University to honor the Victorian novelist who opened his 1830 novel “Paul Clifford” with what were to become the immortal words, “It was a dark and stormy night.”

The OJ Simpson Case
July 16th, 2006 at 2:42 am
Hello Mario and others,
I just found you on here, if you’d like to speak to me or contact me, I’m happy to help you in any way I can.
I know that there are many other victims out there from Anthony Pellicano and other corrupt police officers and power brokers in Hollywood.
Over a decade ago, I was the first person to go on record for the abuse and harrassment dealt out by Anthony Pellicano. This included getting a restraining order against Seagal and his thugs. Although they have long denied it, Marty Singer, Julius Nasso and Steven Seagal hired Pellicano to put together a knock down packet and harass not only me, but my family and my two small children.
There are several stories I could share with you from my car catching on fire when I tried to start it with my children inside to receiving photos of my children with their death certificates and blood splattered on photos of them at their school playground to several instances where I was attacked by “thugs”….. Could it have been someone like A. Proctor that also was hired to attack Anita Busch for covering Seagal’s connections to the mafia?
Whether it was Proctor or another thug, the method of operation for these guys is quite well known. The sad thing is that very few people have had the courage to speak out. To speak out, you risk your life, your family’s lives, your reputation, career and everything else you can imagine.
I have been fortunate in that regard. Although I was nearly killed, my name and reputation dragged through the mud, I’m still here. I survived. Now, almost a decade later, the truth is coming out. Many, including Anthony Pellicano and Julius Nasso are serving their time in prison.
I hope that sharing my experience can help other victims to have the courage to speak out.

Mr. Nitrini,
I find your postings quite “odd”. Yes I offered to interview you on camera for a documentary I’m producing. That interview has not yet been scheduled. There are several other interviews that have not been scheduled. I’m curious as to how you feel you can attack and assault my character by “labeling” me a liar. I do not have your address. I don’t feel that you conduct yourself in a rational or professional manner. I also do not appreciate the tone of your writing and verbal attacks against me.
I will also be interviewing Kenny Gallo and others. He knows that I’m busy. We’ve talked several times on the phone. I’ve also talked to and met with other principals in the case and have never been addressed in the tone that you chose to address me in.
Your behavior is a bit scary and irrational to me. I don’t appreciate your verbal assaults and I would appreciate an apology as I feel you owe me one.
I’m sure that at some point you were able to conduct yourself in a rational and professional manner. When you chose to address me in that manner, I would be more than happy to speak to you.
Otherwise, if you chose to continue down the path you are currently “walking”, well, you know where that leads, basically to nowhere.

To Mario and those following this thread:
After careful research it appears evident the following. Mr. Nitrini is upset that I didn’t “rush” to film him for a documentary I’m producing involving Anthony Pellicano, Steven Seagal, Julius Nasso and many of the most powerful people in Hollywood. Sadly, Mr. Nitrini apparently doesn’t realize that as a professional, I’m extremely busy with my work and this project. I do not know Mr. Nitrini in any way. I am also unclear as to exactly what his involvement is with Anthony Pellicano.
On the other hand, my experiences with Steven Seagal and Anthony Pellicano have been very well documented by a video diary that I kept during the past 12 years that this adventure has taken. When I say “adventure”, in a nutshell, you can go to www.anthonypellicanovictims.blogspot.com.
When Mr. Nitrini initially contacted me, he seemed “normal”. His subsequent emails and postings have been threatening and insulting. I have chosen not to meet him or have any further contact with him in any way. I believe that he is unstable and dangerous. That is my opinion.
I learned a very long time ago that there are many thugs and “crazies” involved in the “mess” that Seagal and Pellicano cooked up.
I am producing this documentary. I decide who is interviewed and involved. If I do not want to interview someone, that’s my call. I can only imagine that this will be met with more vile and vicious verbal attacks. I am powerless over this type of behavior other than to document it.
Therefore, once again for the record, I believe that Mario Nitrini is rude, unstable and psychologically dangerous.
I hope that he gets the mental health help that he obviously needs.

I believe that Patterico (http://www.patterico.com/) banned him over at his blog a few months ago for something similar.

Hey thanks for the insight…. at a certain point, you have to scratch your head and wonder “what’s wrong with this picture”…. it’s scary, ya know?
Anyway, thanks again….. it’s good to know that it’s “him” not me”.

To Whom It May Concern Following This String:
I’ve researched Mr. Nitrini’s claims with the various law officials and such. It appears that after discussing my experience with him and his verbal attacks, that many of the LAPD and District Attorney’s office etc., simply don’t take him seriously. That is apparently what upsets him so much. In addition, when he first contacted me, he was upset that I didn’t respond immediately, thus, he “labeled me a liar”.
The bottom line is this. I am not a liar. Mr. Nitrini, other than being and abusive annoyance simply is not relevant to the documentary that I’m producing. Therefore, he feels “entitled” to blast me with name calling.
I’ve worked alot with the mentally ill. It’s obvious that Mr. Nitrini needs psychiatric help and I hope that he gets that help. For the record, I am posting below, what my initial blog entry was. Apparently, he is just simply screaming and desperate for attention in any way he can get it.
In truth I pity him. It must be a very sad life to live.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Shuman

Ever since the “Seagal Incident” I’ve had to deal with being harrassed by anonymous “cyberstalkers”. It’s not fun. But I’ve done some research that will hopefully help others as well. It’s helped me. God bless xoxox, Cheryl Shuman > read more
