Celebrating banned book week in style...

How do you celebrate banned book week? Well, if you are an idiot and/or have a deep appreciation for the surreal, you seek to have Fahrenheit 451 banned.

My personal favorite aspect is the complainant's justification that the book should be banned because it is "talking about our firemen." To me, this clearly shows that while he skimmed it for things that offend him, he did not actually READ it or he would, one thinks, realize that the "firemen" in F451 *set* fires and are, you know, now "our" firemen. It is subtle, I know...and clearly lost in the case.

Watch the video. Enjoy it. Stop wondering why this country is headed in the direction it is...the answer is sadly clear.

To cleanse your mental palate, I offer: "There is no such thing as a moral book or an immoral book. Books are well written or badly written. That is all." (Oscar Wilde)
