I would be astounded if the American agencies didn't check things, given their attitude to security. The UK agencies are notorious for it, indeed several have it on their website that everything is checked prior to being sent. I'll bow to your five years of experience there though, and the fact that you always know everything.

"Jeez do you REALLY always act so defensively? I would be shocked if you didn't just once."

And if you wanna take it like I'm arguing with u about everything. U CAN DO THAT lol but that's not what i'm doing. I am letting others know (including yourself) that in the US that's not what goes on. I don't think that's a bad thing that I let others know the truth.

Actually that isn't pretty standard. Before I started writing to celebs back in 2008, I called tons of agencies to ask them if they select "material" such as photos and posters to have them sign and also asked them if they read the letter. Now one outta three (if that) said they have "screenings" and 2 outta three said they accept pics and stuff. The main one that really didn't accept pics back in 2008 (not sure about now) is William Morris. So not a lot of agencies actually do a pre-screening kinda thing..
