MISSION STATEMENT

Sometimes, things are wrong. At one point they may have been alright, and are now considered wrong, or, they always have been and ever will be just plain wrong. Oft times, these wrong things are also funny.

With that in mind, this endeavour features two main strands: the "Shelf of Shame" (books) and the "Screen of Shame" (film) and smaller strands such as "Sound of Shame" (vinyl) and "Miscellany of Shame" (various) - each showcasing items from my personal collection of bibliographic and cinematic oddities and curios.

Deemed shame-worthy according to varying criteria of wrongness, these humourous, surprising, and occasionally instructive items are therefore posted here for your perusal, amusement and edification. Enjoy.

Cover of Shame # 1

LITTLE PEDO ON THE PRAIRIE...

Ford, Linda. Prairie Cowboy.  Steeple Hill Books: 2011.  Mass market paperback, illustrated card covers.  276 p. + various ads at rear.


"In a bold new land, anything is possible..."  Such as inappropriate relationships, apparently - according to this creepy cover.




Given that this is a faith-driven inspirational novel, published under the Harlequin banner... someone should have been a little more careful in selecting the art.


But then, what would be the perverse fun in that?
