What do you do when you see a display of "Godless"?

[Tyler Durden]

In the past I have been known to raise an occasional stink in a book store about the placement of a book by one of the unholy ones (Hannity, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, et al). I cooled off. For a long time I did nothing but an internal head shake of disapproval, feeling that people who actually READ would see that garbage for what it is.

No more.

I was walking through a "big box" store on Saturday. (OK, it was a WALMART: they have GREAT bottled lemonaide on sale for $2.50 a gallon. Have you seen the price of lemons lately? I wanted the lemonaide.) On the endcap of the "books" low and behold, there she is, the archdemoness Lillith, Ol' Annie herself, on the cover of 3 copies of "Godless."

So I stopped, and I stuck all three copies behind Male Fitness mags, the sort that you have to be just a little gay to read.

The books were completely obscured. They won't find them until they clean up the mag rack at the end of the month, at which point the sales figures for this piece of trash will look like shit, and they won't order any more.

The wife disapproved a bit, on "...it's not going to make any difference, we're in WALMART for crying out loud..." type reasoning, but when I confessed to this at a dinner party later, I got a round of applause, with "...I'm going to make a point of doing that TOO!" from the room. I even got an "...ok, it was a good thing to do..." from the wife.

Go ye and do likewise.

1. I throw up chunks. nt.

2. Resist the urge to throw up chunks.

[Pathwalker]

3. Same thing you do. Or, cover them with Democratic

books, Anime, etc.

[sinkingfeeling]

4. Wal-Mart, the 'family values' store, has male fitness mags? Please

write a letter to Wal-Mart HO in Bentonville and tell them how upset you were to find that type of 'trash' on the selves where children might see them!

[Democrats_win]

5. Appreciate the effort, but we've got to be smarter.

Not sure what the right answer is: maybe give them enough rope and let them hang themselves or

write your own letter to the editor using good-natured humor to show that being honest and good natured is better than Coulter's hateful way. Obviously her way is making America weaker and less happy.

[Tyler Durden]

14. I don't believe that way anymore...

I am starting to accept that you must fight fire with fire.

My daughter knows that. During the Curwood Festival up here in Owosso, some dick from one of the many local fundy churches was preaching his ass off about how YOU and YOU and YOU were going to burn in Hell, ESPECIALLY the "Homos." My 15 year old daughter got together with one of the best looking females in her "posse" (Gwen ain't no slouch either, and SMART) and the two of them put on a public show of "street theater" starring the 2 of them as "Young Lesbians in Heat." This guy looked like he was going to have stroke, and when the 2 of them took their bows, the crowd watching them applauded.

My daughter can be so cool sometimes.

6. You obviously haven't been checking out FR

or similar conservative sites. Don't you know that every time a conservative book comes out it gets hidden way in the back of stores (never mind that companies pay these stores money for good placement)? It's true; the Freepers say so. Oh, and liberal books ALWAYS get placed in the best spots.

7. I Turn All The Books Upside Down

...I have never stepped foot in WalMart because I live in a city that has no Walmart (and I would not shop there even if we did unless it was the only place I could, like a lot of places where WalMart has destoyed communities). However, while in Barnes and Noble one day I saw the book and put down my backpack and carefully put all of them upside down. Nobody approached me, and the funniest part was that I had to go back there a couple days later and they were all the same way!

LOL!

8. Bookmarks

I lay out a few of these, so people can use them as bookmarks. I buy them by the box of 8,000.

9. Where are the godless books?

Whenever I see any of coulter's books, I turn them around on the shelf or I simply place a John Dean book in front of it. The bookmark idea is great.

10. Why the hating on Lilith - she got a bad rap you know

In some tales she's Adam's first wife he tossed to the side, because she had a mind of her own...

Find a copy of "Stealing Jesus" and cover up the psycho-porn with some commonsense... for that matter "Commonsense" would probably do just fine too, if it's not banned yet.

[Tyler Durden]

18. Getting behind in my "Christian Mythology" doncha know.

I gave up on them when I was trying to give my middle son at least SOME exposure to the sect I was brought up in, and he brought home from catechism class a worksheet on "WHY IT'S OK TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST THOSE WHO FLAUNT GOD'S LAWS" such as Homosexuals, people who live in sin or believe in abortion, and people whose religions we do not accept, such as Muslims, Buddhists, or Catholics.

[Sinti]

21. Yep, I too felt compelled to let my son see what they were about once

I remember well... the church people convinced my son he was going to hell for all eternity if he didn't attend every Wednesday and Sunday, regardless of family needs, or flu, or what have you. He must have been eight year old or so. Scared him to badly I had to spank sense into him. No more church. Never had a problem since. What the heck was I thinking...

[MercutioATC]

11. Nothing. I don't believe in making more work for store employees.

You DO realize that all you're doing is increasing the workload for some underpaid workers, don't you?

[senseandsensibility]

12. Talk to the store manager

My husband always asks to speak to the store manager when repug books (like Coulter's when it first came out) are displayed more prominently than liberal books. He shows the manager, right there on site, what he's objecting to. This is far more effective than a letter. He also states what he objects to about the repug book, and gives an example or two of the most outrageous untruths or calls to violence, etc. It seems to work because the mangager promises to bring it up at regional meetings. Around here, I don't see coultergeist's book anymore. I've actually looked for it recently at two different stores and I didn't see it.

[blogslut]

13. Resist the urge to buy it

just so I can walk outside and make a big deal of throwing it in the trash. I don't want to contribute to that cow's "legitimate" sales. Just the same, oh the things I would do with that "book".

16. 3 lemons for $1 at my local fruit market

:P :hi:

[Tyler Durden]

22. Even at your prices:

16 oz (1 pint) x 2 (per quart) x 4 (quarts per gallon) = 128 oz.

Walmart Lemonaid is 15% lemon juice = 128 x .15 = 19.2 oz lemon juice per gallon.

As the average GOOD SIZED lemon yields 1 oz juice (information source: a bartender friend), even at your prices a gallon of lemonaide would cost me 19.2 lemons/3 x $1.00 = $6.40 for a gallon of lemonaid, plus my time to make it.

Walmart Lemonaide is $2.50/gallon with no preservatives, extra vitamin C, and a nice jug for recycling motor oil left over when you're done.

Sometimes, the math just wins.

[LSK]

25. I usually just use 1 lemon

I guess it depends how concentrated you want it.

[Tyler Durden]

26. Per GALLON??

Good ratio for light flavoring, but lemonaide is usually a little more tart.

[LSK]

27. i dont think its a gallon, not sure what size the container is..

[ChristianLibrul]

17. Scratch the cover with your thumbnail

Hold it as if examining it, put a crease across Coultergeist's face, and no one will buy it.

[RandomKoolzip]

19. I fart.

I hate the idea of "turning books around," or hiding books because that just means making some underpaid wage slave work harder at her job (and if you're working at a non-Xtian bookstore, it's a safe bet you're not a conservative, either). At Wal-Mart, it's even shittier to do, since those workers are getting screwed up the ass everyday and giving them more work only makes them more miserable. Plus, if they can tell that it's some liberal who's forcing busywork on them, then that creates unpleasant associations in that worker's mind come election day.

What *I* do is eat a lot of beans and other gas-producing foods, and then go to the bookstore and fart up a storm near her books. Hopefully anyone passing by that section of the store will forever associate the cover of her books with the stench of my output.

[ronnykmarshall]

29. Remind me to stock up on beans .....

That's a great idea.

[RandomKoolzip]

30. I do what I can, sir.

:patriot:

:hi:

[Initech]

20. I saw a ton of them at Costco

So here's what I did - slid them all underneath the top shelf and slid a bunch of books over to hide those.

Of course - the first urge I get when I see a copy of "Godless" is to light the whole display on fire, but this is the next best thing...

[Jacobin]

23. Anthropomorphising the universe is a silly, peurile

infantile way of living life, for cowardly, arrogant, weak, people who want to be the center of attention, who think the world revolves around them, and who refuse to accept the fact that when they are dead, they are gone. They can't accept the wonders of existence and try to make the most of what they have during life.

[AllNamesHaveBeenUsed]

24. What I do is...

keep walking. Why bother hiding the books? As discussed by other posters, it only creates more work for some poor sap making minimum wage. Plus, it is a rather childish act. If you are truly incensed by a certain product, register a complaint with management. If they have to field enough complaints, something might be done. Remember, the purchasing decisions are made by the higher ups, not the guys trying to earn enough to put gas in their tanks.

[ronnykmarshall]

28. Pick up a copy ...

pretend to read and few lines ...... throw it down and scream at the top of my lungs .....

WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP !!!
