Just a friendly reminder that Banned Books Week started yesterday. Stick it to The Man by reading something foul and offensive. I recommend Crooked Little Vein by Warren Ellis. It hasn’t been banned yet as far as I know, but give it time. Give it time.

Look closely boys and girls. This is what the next generation of complete bloody ignorance looks like. Stupid git. Seems fifteen-year-old Lysa Harding took it upon herself to steal a book (Sandpiper, by Ellen Wittlinger) from her school’s library because it offended her delicate sensibilities. Awww, poor baby.
