What the hell is with that “(Foam Book)” after the title and the “(colorist)” after Pantload’s name???

Or is that just on *my* screen?

Phredd- again, that’s just part of the mystery that makes this book such a compelling masterwork. You can bet that there are lefty freelance writers queued up around the block waiting to review this thing.

I suddenly feel left out…

When will this book be finished.
Well I think it’s gonna be a long, long time!

It gets better Bradrocket. For my sponsored links, the first one I get is from Obama for President. I am urged to sign up and volunteer for his campaign.

I added “doughbob loadpants” to the tags for this book. I would encourage you all to add that tag, so that it moves up the list (just click on “see all tags”, and it will come up). The currently leading tag — “spent advance on Cheetos” — is worth a vote as well. Alas, I can’t take credit for adding that one.

Lots of good alternate ideas for DoughBob’s subtitle here.

Your statement:

“Of the people who look at DougBob’s(sic) book but do not purchase it, 14 percent are wingnuts, 14 percent are nerds and a whopping 72 percent are lefties looking for a good laugh.”

Should be phrased:

“Of the people that looked at DoughBob’s book, but bought different shit instead…..”

In truth we know nothing about people that browsed but didn’t purchase. There could be 140 million lefties who snicker at the Pant Load’s opus, but choose not to buy anything.

A bit more browsing reveals that Mark Steyn brags about being called “Dangerous Idiot of the Year” by The New Statesman.

That’s not a university paper, Mark.

The difference this and SMiLE is that when the latter was finally finished, it was pretty good. Jolly Jonah’s book is likely to be a steaming load if it ever finally gets released. So I’d say a more apt comparison is that Liberal Fascism is a latter-day The Day the Clown Cried.

In other news, Guns N Roses will be releasing “Malaysian Constitutional Republic” on Dec. 27.

Sometimes I think that all of this–the ludicrous title, the subtitle that morphs from idiotic to absurd, the inane defenses–are all some sort of publicity stunt that Goldberg’s dreamed up. I mean, I’m finding that I kind of want to read the thing now, if only for the delightful sense of Schadenfreude I’m likely to feel.

But then I realize: Nah. Goldberg ain’t smart enough to come up with such a plan.

I just hope that the reviewers don’t actually, you know, BUY the thing.

Hence the cross between Smile and Transformed Man. Dig?

I’m wondering whether Doughbob will get the book out before the final volume of Hunter S. Thompson’s letters comes out, which has also been repeatedly delayed to the tune of over a year.
Can he beat a dead man? The odds aren’t good.

Given how many book J.K. Rowling sells, I’m willing to bet that 8% of people who look at any title on Amazon end up buying the new Harry Potter book.

Like Phredd, I wondered what a foam book is.

My theory is that “foam” is to books what “vaporware” is to software.

hmm…colorist DoughBob, eh? maybe that’s all he’s done so far – colored in the cover.

nah. i’m sure he hired an intern to take care of that, too.

Ted (at 21:05): Thanks for that link! OMG. I haven’t laughed that hard, and for so long, since Jesus’ General ceased being teh funny.

Foam book?

Maybe Jonah plans to soundproof his Mom’s basement with the remainders.

A foam book is a waterproof book made of vinyl-covered foam-padded cardboard, designed to float in the bathtub, be safely chewed upon, or allow color crayon to be washed off. They’re made for preschoolers and feature bright colors and very few words. It’s the literary equivalent of a See N’Say.

Moo! said the purchasers of Jonah’s opus.

Question: Does one Mr. Tambourine Man have any relation to Mr. Tangerine Speedo?

Definitely everyone should go there and click on all the more humorous tags

Let’s hope he can get it done before “Etude pour espace” by Edgar Varese is finally released. It’s been nine years since Chou Wen Chung promised it would be forthcoming. The guy is the executor from hell. And Varese has only been dead forty-two years. A mere blip, right?

Oh heck that is funny. Even better, when you click on the different tags, it shows you other products with the same tag, but also products that don’t have the tag, but perhaps should.
Try the page on the “spent advance on cheetos” tag, and then scroll down to see “Products NOT tagged “spent advance on cheetos”, but should be?”

*snerk*

I wonder how long it will be before Goldberg blows his top about the “foam book” and “colorist” listing.
Look at what they call “foam books.” And these even have “authors,” not “colorists.”

Guess it’s time for Conservamazon, where rightist tracts are treated fairly (sniff).

Increasing Leonard:

Hogwash. Amazons are far too threatening a being for the conservatives. A fully-independent society of women with little to no need for men? Sacrilege! The implication that women should be allowed to read at all? Contemptible left-wing propaganda!

Bigdickedoiledupnakedspartanwarrior.com, the conservative’s book-seller!

Incidentally, somebody really needs to grab a screeencap of that page showing this as a “foam book” and Jonah as the “colorist”. You know it’s an Amazon employee with a good sense of humor who did it, and as soon as someone important realizes it, it’ll be gone. So, grab a copy while you can!

Other foam books, just for reference.

Oh, I totally got it screencap’d, Jillan.

Worth noting that this isn’t the first time the dirty hippies have had their way with Amazon. A screencap of earlier work by a liberal mole can be seen here.

The tag “banged out by howler monkeys” sadly has only 1 vote!

This is totally unfair!

Put a thousand of us behind a thousand typewriters, and even we could come up with a more coherent subtitle!

Have you ever tried walking through a mall dressed as a howler monkey?!?

S,N! is a generally humorous blog, but the cheap antisimianism on display here will forever tarnish its reputation.

In a rare act of fairness, it should be noted that when I picked up The One Percent Doctrine last year, I screencapped this:

57% buy Godless: The Church of Liberalism by Ann Coulter
