ACTIVISM: Crown Publishers writes to you re GWB Book

*A Brief Publisher's Message*




Dear Reader,




Tomorrow, November 9, 2010, we are officially releasing former president George W. Bush's new book, /Decision Points/, and we would



like to make the following request:




> Please do not take copies off the shelf, open them to a random



page, insert a quantity of spit, nasal discharge or chewing gum,



slam them shut and put them back on the shelf.




> Please do not draw horns on Mr. Bush's head---be they a ram's, a



goat's or Satan's. Please also no forked tails or thought-bubbles



that say "Heckuva Job."




> Please do not throw the book to the ground and stomp on it while



yelling, "You suck!"




> Please do not knock over the bookcase on which /Decision Points/



is displayed, as this could result in a domino effect on the other



bookcases and cause damage and/or injury to other customers.




> Please do not attempt to move copies of the book from the



Non-fiction section of the store to the Humor or Fantasy sections.




> Please do not whip out a Sharpie and add "Awesome book---if



properly shredded" to the list of testimonial blurbs on the back cover.




We know you're upset at how badly he screwed you over, but please:



let's be civil.




Thank you,




Your Friends at Crown Publishing




*P.S.* Democrats, this letter applies to you, too.
