MICHIGAN -- The Rev. Al Sharpton is threatening to file a lawsuit over letters written by a by a group of Michigan elementary school students, including five from Macomb County. The Democratic presidential candidate claims the letters “mlm”, which were scratched into the side of his car, are offensive and degrading. “ Under no circumstances should children be allowed to write such things”, Sharpton said.

Apparently, the letters “mlm” represent the Internet chat equivalent of “flipping-the-bird”. An Internet expert informed us that these three letters do indeed represent the hand gesture commonly displayed by angry drivers, irate teenagers and elderly women who’ve had too much to drink.

An attorney for the Reverend has informed school officials that they must issue an apology within 30 days or "all legal remedies will be pursued."

The 27 students, who participated in writing the letters, included 5 Hispanics, 13 Whites, 7 Blacks and 2 Asians. All agreed that they intended to send a message. However, the Asian students are said to have been the chief instigators behid the alleged offense.

The students said they stand by their statement and do not plan to apologize.
