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.

Shelf of Shame #21

AND I THOUGHT I NEEDED THE INTERNET TO FIND THAT KIND OF THING...

Games You Can Play With Your Pussy. Ira Alterman. Illustrated by Marty Riskin. American Publishing Corp: Watertown, MA: 1978. Small 4to w. illustrated card covers, b&w illus throughout. 48pp.


I would like to think that the author wrote this book with tongue planted firmly in cheek. I will let you decide which cheek. *ahem*

About this entry I need not say anything else. All I need do is list the book's section headings. They will speak for themselves. Enjoy!

Shelf of Shame #20

ARE YOU REALLY SURE THAT'S A GOOD IDEA...??

Skeen / Garner / Cartwright. Woodworking for Young Children. National Association for the Education of Young Children: Washington: 1984. (5th printing, 1997) 8vo, illustrated card covers, 86pp, many b&w illus.


Doubtless very well intentioned, this title might perhaps feel at home with other ill-advised works, such as "Flaming Torch Juggling for the Visually Impaired", "Venomous Snake Handling for Toddlers" and a cautionary tale about using daddy's power tools called "Little Johnny No-Arms".

But perhaps we are too quick to judge, after all, to quote Cosmo Kramer: "It's all supervised!" And to be sure, the book has a section on safety... on page 61.

First Aid follows a page later.

Shelf of Shame # 19

I THINK ROGER MOORE ALREADY ATTEMPTED THIS JOKE, SIR...

Re-Entry. John Wesley White. Zondervan Publishing: Michigan: 1971. Mass Market Paperback, illus. card covers, 192 pp.


Seriously? I really do find it hard to believe that nowhere along the way to publishing this book did anybody notice the unfortunate combination of title and sub-title.

If the titular joke isn't enough (and by gosh, don't you think it should be?) then the chapter titles will, erm, drive the joke home. You know what I mean.

Theology & the Coming Christ
Science and Technology & the Coming Christ
The Church & the Coming Christ
Society & the Coming Christ
Philosophy & the Coming Christ
Politics & the Coming Christ
Preparation for His Coming

As an unfortunate segue, Zondervan Publishing has recently issued a book called "Sticky Faith". Ew.

... and the Reverend Ron Jeremy says "Amen".


For Further Research:
Much ado about Zondervan Publishing and more.
There is so much on The Second Coming, but THIS ONE seemed most entertaining.
The original joke from Moonraker, for better or for worse.

Shelf of Shame #18


AND THE SOUND OF MY ZIPPER...

My Sheep Know My Voice. John Cox. Guardian Books: Belleville: 2003. Small softcover, illus. card covers, 136pp.


I don't care who you are, you've gotta know that title is funny... especially if your name is Cox.



Seriously, sometimes you people make this way too easy.
