Return of Doctor Funk Outgoing Otto

Faithful readers of "Outgoing Mail" will remember Todd Setzer, who tried to give me a tape called "Dead Doctors Don't Lie," which is part of a multi-level marketing scheme to sell "colloidal minerals," another one of these bogus health remedies.

Listen, people: it pays to be skeptical. If any pill, vitamin, or food was proven to add years to your life, there would instantly be a worldwide shortage.

If you're interested in the "missing two minutes" of the tape, you can find an online transcript if you look around. I think you'll agree, it's worthy of government censorship.

Sharon:

I had a conversation with Todd Setzer a few months ago. He used to be an old DJ friend of mine who went by the name of Dr. Funk, and now he was giving away a tape called "Dead Doctors Don't Last." We had a misunderstanding, and he never spoke to me again.

So I was thrilled to get your message, because I could finally see Dr. Funk's videotape! Then I saw the note on the bottom: if I don't order by January 31, I can only get a "Government Sanitized" version of the tape. Well, screw that! I want the FULL truth, not some CIA-approved version!

Which is a shame, because I really wanted the tape.

Anyway, I was wondering if you could tell me what Dr. Funk has been up to. Has he played any gigs lately? Are there any clubs where I can see him?

Tell him to give me a call!

Sharon:

I wrote you one week ago asking about the whereabouts of Todd Setzer (a.k.a. Dr. Funk). I don't understand why you guys are so secretive about his whereabouts.

I'm beginning to think there's something fishy going on with this "Dead Doctors" tape. Is this one of those snuff films I've been reading about in the daily papers? Do I need to call the FBI, Sharon?

This is a question, not a threat,

Finally, a "Paul Schilling" wrote back. Do you get the feeling that all of these guys use fake names?

Paul:

Very clever. You thought that by ignoring my previous requests, I'd forget about the fact that all the "Dead Doctors Can't Last" tapes were "government sanitized" after January 31. Well, you have to get up pretty early to fool me, mister!

A friend of mine ordered one of your tapes BEFORE January 31, and he said he'd dub me a copy. Why would I ever want to order your "censored" copy, Paul? Geez! You think I was born yesterday? (Of course, he's charging me $25, but I say it's worth it for the FULL truth!)

Disappointed in you, Mr. Paul Schilling!

Think what you want, our company has discontinued use of the tape altogether ....sanitized or un-sanitized.when my last 50 or so of the un sanitised are gone thats it. As industry sources estimate there are ouer 25 million copies out there already.....why anyone would pay 25 bucks for a copy is beyond me, when they are free.

It sounds like your *FRIEND* does think you were born yesterday and got up earlier than you this time if you will pay 25 bucks for the tape.HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I'm NOT dissappointed in you MR HARGRAVE. You have absolutely made my day, thank you for your humor ..You made me smile!!!!

Thanks for your interest and best of luck to you!!

ps I assume you wish to be removed from future offers, so I will take you off my list till further notice.
