Teen Sex Book Calls Gawker "Despicable"

0805kisspig.jpgLast month Dumbo Books announced a new release by writer Richard Grayson called Who Will Kiss the Pig? Sex Stories for Teens; the announcement got some attention after their Craigslist ad was published. You see, they were looking for cool-looking hipsters to write blurbs for the book, and now they've finally sent out a PDF copy to those who inquired. What took so long? "We have been waiting for Monday's U.S. Supreme Court ruling [on internet child pornography] to ascertain whether we could still go ahead with publication of the book." Luckily, after consulting with their attorney they got the green light!

Along with the PDF came a stern warning against news of this getting out to any media, especially Gawker, who they refer to as "despicable" for writing "a very mean article about our Craigslist ad." But since the book is now on sale, not alerting the media might not be the best sales plan.

As for the sexy cool hipster blurbs, they weren't included in the PDF, however we do learn that the 50-something-year-old author splits his time between Sunrise Golf Village, Florida; Apache Junction, Arizona; and Williamsburg, Brooklyn... and the title may be a little more than misleading, though they do warn "if you are under 18, it is ESSENTIAL that you have your parents' permission before reading the attached book."

    Matty would be referring to "The Princess Bride" by Vladimir Nabokov.

    That is a really ugly cover.

    Ok, Gawker can be despicable at times. But when they skewer crap like this, it's right on.

    I bet someone will compare themselves to humperdink humperdink of the 2000s

    Those "cool-looking,smart-looking hipsters" might be in for more than a PDF of this idiotic piece of unreadable shit. They might get the invite to 'certain cool parties' where 'certain hip things' will happen,coincidentally, in front of a camera. Bodysnatchers.

    Because 50-year old men know so much about modern teenage sexuality.

  • JMH

    Well... I mean, Gawker IS kind of despicable.

  • matty

    Statutory rape is SO IN.



    I read it in the NY Times fashion section!
