Twist of Sorts

I found an article, that I couldn't get a link to (was part of the flash news that Netscape loves to dangle in your face, like candy.... mmmm... candy). So, I did a search for what it was on... freak dancing. I found an article on it by none other than an expert on such things, Bill O'Reilly.

Me being such a huge fan of his (hides from lightning) had to do some more searching for Mr. O'Reilly. I found out he wrote a book, called "Those Who Trespass." The reviews on it, were quite hysterical. I can't insult peoples spelling and grammar, since I'm not good at either. Its funny when other people do it though, especially when its someone I don't like. Here's some samples.

  • Wow. This was a real-load-in-the-pants. I'm surprised that anyone would actually publish this. I guess that a perk when you're on TV. The writing was at about a 12th grade level, which is surprising, considering that O'Reilly speaks like a nine year old child. I think this book would make good reading for inmates in Abu Ghraib
  • Bill O'Reilly is such a big douche. this crappy book seemed so obviously based on his own fantasies. what a loser. why didn't he write about a loofah or a falafel.
  • if you like jackie collins, danielle steel, or any other best-selling romance novels with fabio on the cover, then this is your style of writing. it is simplistic, high-school level fiction. if bill o'reilly wasn't the name that he is, this book would never have found a publisher. it's like that pop album oscar de la hoya made. the dialogue is terrible, the transitions are archaic, and his talent for painting the settings wouldn't have achieved a d grade in my freshman writing seminar. if you want good fiction, look elsewhere.
  • Poorly written but explicit and graphic scenes of drug use, sex with minors, drug addicted teenage prostitutes, and other lurid content that seems to be thrown in for those who enjoy child porn. I wonder who his target audience is??? ...... I wish someone who could write as though they might have had sex at least once wrote this book. While O'Reilly seems to try and paint lurid pictures it seems rather clear that he hasn't even seen a porn to draw from as an experience. Nevertheless, this story includes scenes of group sex with drug addicted minors and prostitutes. Bill, whats with the child porn? Who is your target audience? The viewers of your show??? I wondered what redeeming value this has in our culture. Good thing Bill got a day job to fall back on.
  • It's so funny that Bill O'Reilly can publish this garbage and then go criticizing Ludacris for his explicit rap lyrics.

Thanks for the laugh Billy.
