WTF Work?
Gregory Bergman and Jodi Miller



Go here to see the abomination at Amazon!

Honestly, do NOT let the Amazon reviews fool you in the slightest. This book is horrible! I actually gave it a brief flip through at the store and made the mistake of actually getting it. While on the surface, the book appears to be one that caters to everyone, it

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

This is like it's written by twelve year olds. The really shitty twelve year olds who used to sit in the back of class, and if you ever dared ask them to stop kicking your chair, they'd snigger something about how you smelled and do it twice as hard.

The ones that grow up to achieve exactly nothing, live in their parents basement and wonder why they get exactly none of the sex. Because it couldn't possibly be a problem to do with them.

I just...the sexism, and the racism, and the various religious bashing....

How on earth was this ever published??

Definitely steering far, far clear of it.

right? "stinky vaginas" totally made me think of that one gross bully kid who would ask the girls really inappropriate questions to get a rise out of them.

Woooow....sexist AND racist. What a winner! /sarcasm

And people wonder why there are still feminists who are outspoken and raging over shit like this? I just...wow, I have never physically felt ill before when reading something, but this? Came the closest.

You lost me a little bit with the "as a good Christian" statement. Otherwise I'm with you 100%, quite horrified, actually, but I don't know where the Christianity bit came from. Did the book say something like that or was it the reviewers? (I'm not a follower either, so I can empathize, but I'm not really sure what your point was.)

[steele_oracle]

The book suggests that to get out of a problem with someone (I believe it was about stealing lunches), it tells you to say something to the effect of "As a good Christian, I can't do that." There are similar statements to this scattered throughout the book. But the book does assume that you are despite it being a non-religious book. Actually.... the book assumes that you're a single white male, who is Christian, and American. If you're not this, the book hates you automatically.... ESPECIALLY if you are female.

Yeah. This doesn't appear to be advice for women so much as humor for men in the format of advice for women.

Men need better standards. >.>;

WHAT?!?!?!

( Every time I pass your icon, I end up giggling. XD )

I can understand why this one made it here. Also, I find it funny that it made it here due to "setting feminism back" and representing women as mindless objects but I find it funny that in the same review you use the term "Twatlight". Gendered insult in a rant about a book that degrades women.

[steele_oracle]

Yeah. I know... it's irony. But this whole thing is just littered with painful irony anyways. Let's just focus on the idea that both books are bad.

Alright... I suffered from irony fail so yeah. I edited that part a bit so no more irony from me.
