World’s Worst Book Title winner
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Well, folks, we had a squeaker in the vote for World’s Worst Book Title ever. But the Supreme Court was called in for an emergency ruling, and by a 5-4 vote they declared George Bush to be the winner.
No, wait. Wrong vote. The winner was “Cooking With Pooh,” which is a real book from Disney. It barely beat out “Letting It Go: a History of American Incontinence,” “The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America: A Guide to Field Identification” (which I think maybe some people did not realize is also a real book) and “Everything You’ll Need to Remember About Alzheimer’s.”
It was submitted by Chris, whom I am getting in touch with so I can send him his/her reward, my personal, slightly dog-eared copy of “Bizarre Books” that started this whole thing. Plus I’ve got that new Borat book sitting on my desk and if Chris wants that, he/she’s welcome to it. Clearly, as of this posting I don’t even know if Chris is male or female. Sorry, Chris.
But congratulations for suggesting the World’s Worst Book Title.
Does anyone have any more book-related contest ideas? I’m open to suggestion.
And Happy Thanksgiving to all.
