…but where does it end?
Amazon has pulled the book “The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure: a Child-lover’s Code of Conduct” from their eBook selection. As soon as it was available, protests, boycotts, and other threats ensued. The book’s title accurately describes its contents.
When I first heard about this, I thought perhaps the title was just a poor taste attempt at a clever tongue-in-cheek eye-catching title. But no, it is a book written from a sympathetic point of view that goes as far as to advise pedophiles how to avoid the law. I won’t go on about how appalled I am that this book exists. Or how I wish all pedophiles were too illiterate or unmotivated to complete a book. I imagine _most_ people would agree with me.
One could argue freedom of speech protects this book and it should be available at the Amazon Marketplace. I believe in that freedom to write and speak about what is on ones mind whole-heartedly. The author utilized that freedom to create that work. He has the freedom to try to sell it. No one is banning his attempts to sell it. But a corporation is not obligated to further someone’s exposure, help them gain an audience, or propel them to make money.
And from a business perspective, it’s not intelligent for a company such as Amazon to carry something with that specific point of view. Why they thought they should carry it in the first place is beyond me. Whoever set that up probably lost their corner window office.
This isn’t the first time Amazon has encountered such controversy. One would think they would have taken steps to better screen items to be listed through their marketplace. Although, without any industry experience, I’m sure just about anyone could have easily weeded out such a bluntly titled book.
This won’t be the end of “The Pedophile’s Guide…” as I’m sure there are smaller internet-based companies that deal in controversial material who will be happy to carry the now famous book. What free publicity won’t do for someone.
So there was a Garfield comic strip printed on Veterans Day with Garfield squishing a spider, the spider thinking he will be famous and have a day of remembrance, then children learning about “National Stupid Day”. Veterans were offended, the dude that does the comic apologized, blah blah blah.
It’s Garfield…who the hell still reads the Garfield strip? I never would’ve known about the strip if the Veterans’ advocate people didn’t get a pole up their ass about it.
Too bad he couldn’t flip another hit album.
I’m cruising through my 700 channels with nothing on and something catches my eye…it says “The Vanilla Ice Project”. I thought it was gonna be like rehab or anger management. But it was on DIY (do it yourself network). So I had to look out of sick curiosity and wicked boredom. I’ll be damned if he wasn’t renovating a house to flip. Apparently he’s a successful general contractor.
Still a cry baby douche bag, but at least he works. And for this job he can’t just steal the bassline of a classic song and put shitty lyrics on top of it. Although I guess he could steal some dry wall and slap some cheap ass Big Lots paint on it.
If so, why aren’t they suing EVERYONE?
Officer Bubbles, as the entire internet now knows him, wants to sue YouTube for allowing cartoon parodies of his ridiculous harassment and arrest of a girl blowing bubbles. He’s even getting threats against his well being.
Um, those death threats aren’t because a rack of Adobe Flash owners made some cartoons. I’d venture to say it’s because you’re a douche bag who had a peaceful protester blowing bubbles arrested.
If your ego is so weak that you felt like the man locking up a little white girl with bubbles, then you deserve the sleepless nights as homemade cartoonery infuses your dreams.
Did he really expect to be a hero for being one of many cops who basically violated someone with a peaceful hippy spirit? First flowers in their hair, now bubbles in the air…what’s next? Large fluffy pillow fights?
I hope the Canadian police have extra backup to handle all that peace-promoting, green-encouraging, revolutionary love.
We all have seen the underbelly of society at the public access computers in the local library…okay, maybe, “some of us have seen”. Libraries are not as hopping as they used to be. Hello information super highway.
Anyway, there’s a range of characters availing themselves of the free internet access. Because libraries are public there are also the undesirable in the library. Not just homeless, some just sick. Internet access can be expensive…watch a little silent porn for free instead.
In Montgomery County, Maryland, a man pulled out his penis, then ejaculated on the arm of a Montgomery College student at a computer and ran away. He had a car to flee in, so he wasn’t homeless…just desperate.
I know the economy is rough, but really, why are you going to get your rocks off on (not even with) an unsuspecting person at a table. Maybe he should have gotten on an online dating website instead and then ejaculated on someone from Myspace later on that night.
Probably wouldn’t have the cops running his tags now. There’d just be some unattractive woman doing status updates about the guy that shot his load in her eye.
Tragedy struck yesterday as I sat in my car for 4 1/2 hours to go 20 miles…… I mean tragedy struck as a field trip bus from PA went off the sky ramp and crashed on to the spur of I-270 MD, killing the 66 year old bus driver and injuring several children and adults.
The bus from Wolf’s Bus Lines was returning to PA from a day at the National Zoo and the National Mall. It’s been released that Wolf’s has recently received a “satisfactory” rating for safety. That’s good? In school that was like a “C”. That’s comforting.
“Hey kids, let’s get on the C rated bus with an elderly driver from Pennsylvania on out of state roads”…sounds like a fun day to me!
