Well, I Need to Say Shit
I am really sick of authors, musicians, and anyone else that say, "I don't need to use foul language or sex in order to sell my [insert whatever crap they sell here]." Of course you don't need sex or words like fuck, shit, or ass-rape in order to make money, it doesn't take a genius to figure that one out. Hell, I could make a movie about teen girls who fall in-love with a bunch of pussy guys and make millions, and I wouldn't have to have one sex scene in it. So, why the fuck would you be so proud of not using profanity?
This douche bag is John Grisham:
I recently saw an interview with him in which he talked about his first book. All he did the entire time is boast about how he didn't have to write any sex or profanity in his books in order to sell them. "It's something I am really proud of," he says. Then the interviewer asks him about how he came up with the opening scene of the book... a violent rape scene between a middle aged man and a little girl. Did he not notice the fact the he contradicted himself in the span of two questions? What a douche!
Anyway, the moral of the
article is that no one cares if you can make money without profanity and sex because (1)
it doesn't mean it's any good, (2) it doesn't take much talent to do, and
(3)
