The world piles on the stupid. No one can get enough. The world's appetite for stupidity is, I believe, insatiable. And I become baffled at the strata of stupid. Rules of superposition almost cease to apply, and up becomes down, and down becomes up. For example, I don't know which is worse, the question (below) from Audible.com's review form or the

Make us think Caitlin. I don't want to do anything else but that.

Thank you.

LJ insists on autocorrecting putz to puts, thereby behaving like a putz.

That is sad. It's too early in the morning for irony.

if they dumbed down your stories for movie or tv, then they wouldnt be the jewels that you created, they would be some puree that contains no original thoughts or concepts, rendering it of course, to the most common acceptable drivel.

wow, Briansiano- damn. I was just going to comment on "strata of stupid". Never ever underestimate the depths of stupidity of the public. Of which I am a part of. Never claimed to be other. Should stop now...

A: No, it would have to be changed beyond the meaning of the story so that the average person could follow.

You know, initially I thought this was some kind of left-handed compliment, that they were trying to say that the style of the novel was too complex to easily render in a profitable manner for mainstream film. Which is likely the case, although that's a problem with mainsteam Hollywood, not the novel. I still think this is a reasonably favorable review, but I believe the reader needs to give the book another chance and let it soak in.

Then I scrolled down and found the bullshit "androphobic" review and wondered why the fuck you bother reading these reviews.

That would be from Guy Davis' sadly short-lived indie comic The Marquis. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure that story landed him his (recently ended) gig as the artist for B.P.R.D.
