Firstly, most of you never even heard of this girl until the olympics so please stop acting like she's your neighbour and TMZ has offended her. More importantly, she was NOT compared to a REAL RAT! It was a CUTE CARTOON Type RAT....with big ears and a cute smile! They didn't insult her, they just rzzed her a bit, that's all. I think she's an amazing gymnast (I watch them all the time, BTW she's way better than Mary-Lou Retton) and I watched all of her performances. Through the whole thing I just couldn't stop thinking of how cute she looked, just like a little bunny rabbit because of her adorable smile and face it...there's probably a few of you out there that thought the same. We saw Bunny, TMZ saw Cocp Gigo. Lighten up folks, she'll be fine.
calling the young lady a rat was a bit much but i don't see the need to never visit TMZ again... futhermore if i was her i would be happy so many people came to defend me.
Shawn Johnson is a little cutie pie and will be just fine :)
TMZ
I have a great idea why don't you put a photo of yourself on the web so we can laugh and comment on how you all look because there must be something wrong with you to make the comments you did about a sweet young respected girl. This is bullying have some respect for someone that can do something you can only dream of.
Shawn Johnson you are great keep up the great work even though I am from the UK
Yeah...BRAVO, Omar!!! Although its freedom of speech, which makes our country great, it also means to be aware and conscientious of others on what we say and do. Yes, I do find it offensive that TMZ would compare someone to a rat when they spent the majority of his/her life working hard to represent America. I would be very upset if I've won all these medals and all people can do is make fun of how I look. And please...if you go about George Bush remarks as a come back, he has made awful decisions and has said things out loud that shouldn't have been said; however, I have yet to see someone actually make fun of his appearance. I also do not approve of TMZ posting emails and making fun of people because they have pride for their country. This will be the last time I read this site as well.
I think it's funny that people are over reacting over something so trivial. It's not as if she was called a whore or anything.
If it was anyone else in a "celebrity" status(even if they were under aged) most of you would gladly agree.
It's actually pretty pathetic that most of you would send a message screaming "take it down" or "I'm just letting you know I'll never visit this site again".
You came to this site looking for gossip. It's not like this is CNN people!
And since this is a celebrity news/gossip site you shouldn't be so hypocritical considering you visited this site to being with and then all of a sudden you decide to grow a conscious about how "wrong" and "demeaning" that one tiny insignificant comment was.
GROW UP!
Okay People!!!!!!!!!! First of all I had to post this message to let you all know how pathetic you all are. So what if TMZ posted a picture of Topo Gigio and our Olympic athlete. You people are taking this to heart!!!! OUCH !!! Get a LIFE FOR REAL!!!!!! I read some of the letters and they are all pretty funny. By the way!!! TMZ will really not care if you watch them or check out their website. Believe me they have nothing to LOSE. Continue with your postings!! It only makes us laugh on how pathetic you are

I find it interesting that people are offended at your pathetic, disgusting, dehumanizing, greedy, low-life opinion of a child. How else do talentless pukes pay their bills? Same reasoning those freaks who make and post child rape scenes reason it out. Their just making a fun living right? How many jokes do you make about Shasta Groening and her ordeal? No doubt they've been made in your office...but what...your legal department decided that would be in bad taste? If you can make some ridiculous piece of crap like gummy worm famous for being disgusting I have no doubt your wormy "journalists" could find a depressed girl in a college nearby who wants to off herself...that would make great news...wouldn't it? Find her, follow her around, and give her a nudge...man...that would be fricking hilarious!...if you got it all on tape. There isn't a level of hell deep enough for all of you. But hey, you got yourselves on tv. I guess that makes it all allright.
Some things are just off limits...tighten up tmz.I'm Ben Blanc and i'm launching my magazine this fall (StreetlightMagazine)i just want to say thanks for the lesson...i'll be sure to learn off your mistakes.
