Last night on Parks and Recreation uberman Ron Swanson (played by Nick Offerman) took to Yelping, but in a particularly offline sort of way (by using a typewriter to express his disapproval). "Speaking of bad reviews, computers are mostly pointless," said Swanson. "But that Yelp thing gave me a great idea, on how to criticize people and places. I am composing strongly worded letters about things I disapprove of and I am using the internet to get addresses where I can send them."
On his hit list: a vegetable farm, several European ambassadors, and a non-fat frozen yogurt bar. Read the letter: "Dear frozen yogurt, you are the celery of desserts. Be ice cream or be nothing. Zero stars." Later, the owner of the vegan restaurant Lettuce Eat confronts Swanson at the office."I wanted to know why you nailed this letter to my door," said the owner. The letter that was nailed to the door read: "Veganism is the sad result of a morally corrupt mind. Reconsider your life." Here's video:

NBC was nice enough to post a bunch of the letters online. His letter to Connie's Cabbage: "Your cabbage is only useful as food for future meat. Stay off my plate."
