Seriously?

Ever read an article and you say to yourself, Seriously? I kept repeating that to myself as I read an article on the site, death + taxes. The name of the site should have been a blinking yellow light.

Diddy, who used to be PDiddy, who used to be … I have no clue what his real name is … is releasing a coffee table book. A book of butts. Female butts. That’s it. Butts. But the article assures the reader that the book is not porn or “another lurid fetishist item.” What makes them not lurid? Why, the photos are taken by an Italian photographer named Raphael Mazzucco, that’s what.

Seriously?

  1. It'll be interesting to see how well that one sells.

  2. That makes me sick on so many levels. It just goes to show, too, that a celebrity (or what passes as a celebrity in this case) can write complete crap and still find a publisher. The publisher who is putting this book out should be ashamed of themselves.

  3. I agree with Lauri. The publisher is out to make a quick buck, not produce something worthy of reading.

  4. And what is PDiddy to the process? Is he the butt editor or what? Oh, spare me. I think a coffee table book of butts in my life would be photos of the Wall Street and Bay Street bankers. yep. Big Butts.

  6. I saw this on the news. Its soft porn. Which makes it lurid. No butts about it.

  7. How bad is this? I can't even think of the right words to use to comment. Ridiculous, horrifying, stupid, idiotic...how am I doing so far?

  8. Anything can be fetishized and there are lots of butt fetishists out there, and hand, feet, eyebrows, etc. fetishists.

  9. Good one, Stephen.

    Liza, you're doing good. I'd say you're on a roll.

    You're probably right, J.M. Although...eyebrows?

  10. I'm reminded of a quote from a radio play I heard years ago where the protagonist was often perplexed and he " ... said 'oh my God' and shook his head so much that people thought he'd contracted a rare form of palsy."

  11. Do any of the butts belong to Kate Beckinsale?
    No! That is just wrong.

  13. Christopher, you really should go on the comedy circuit. I love your comments.

    Could be, Alex. Would you recognize hers?

    No, I doubt the coffee table is where it would go, Susan.
