OJ’s “If I did It” book. I think everyone involved in selling that trash deserved worse, but it was all I could do at the time.

Wow, what a brave act of resistance.

Lol, except you are actually scared to try this completely useless and futile stunt of silliness. I do not which is the funniest part of this post.

there are a whole bunch of us going to the pokey with you. I once turned around some copies of Lynn Cheney’s children’s book in Books-a-Million. I laughed all the way out of the store. The prize goes to those that moved Hannity’s book over to the feminine hygiene products. That gets a fist bump.

I pick up the top one, turn it around and place it back. Not every time. Mostly back when it was straignt up racist anti Obama, then anti Hillary. they've stopped most of the crap after Trump won.

But it's telling... no matter the sleaze surrounding trump and his sleazy life, they never filled the covers with negative stuff
