I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST DILDOS. Some of my best friends are dildos. (High-five Steve!) And I'm all for masturbation -- it's the only sport I lettered in while in college (University of Masters & Johnson, Class of '69). But to you, the webmaster over at Amazon.com, I say ENOUGH!!!
What's with all the dildos, butt plugs, inflatable love dolls and vibrating plastic vaginas listed as "also viewed" along with my novel, "Horse Latitudes?" To hear you tell it, every potential reader of my book is either an Amyl Nitrate popping, Viagra huffing nymphomaniac, or a member of Congress!
You mean to say no one in the entire book-browsing, cybersphere was interested in "The Red Badge of Courage," or some Jane Austen? ALL of 'em were shopping for a set of leather testicle restraints (by the way, you should try those)?
Would you have us believe that Ron Jeremy is now my #1 fan . . . or that Rush Limbaugh has been relentlessy browsing my Amazon listing in an OxyContin-fueled sexual rage??? It's not that I mind having my book compared to wanton tools of sexual gratification -- it's just that the vibrating anal beads have better reviews! Gimme a break man!!!
This is a plot; an attempt to undermine the credibility of an avowed liberal, left-wing scribe's war on all the right-wing panderers currently providing oral favors for banks and large corporations! (Trust me, those anal beads have Karl Rove's fingerprints all over 'em.)
I intend to fight back! To borrow an idiom from Mitt Romney: "What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander." Right on! (I'm not entirely sure what the fuck that means, but I think I get the gist of it.) Just take a peek at the Amazon listing for Callista Gingrich's children's book, "Sweet Land of Liberty (Ellis the Elephant)," and see what I've "also viewed." Let's just say the elephant ain't the biggest thing in the room.
Horse Latitudes
Can't wait till your next novel is released. Can't wait to see who will be reading it.
