the fail that does not end: of mammoths and unicorns

Racefail, Day 123 in a perpetual calendar:

Patricia Wrede has written a YA book, The Thirteenth Child, with an ill-advised premise. In discussions of her book pre-publication, she unintentionally underlined and capitalized how ill-advised her premise was, as follows:

The *plan* is for it to be a "settling the frontier" book, only without Indians ( Read more... )

Some of your links are borked.

popelizbet May 14 2009, 22:18:30 UTC

All of them were borked, but they should be fixed now. Thanks! :D

Speaking of Fails, was there ever an update to AmazonFail? I ask because you're one of the people on my f-list most likely to know.

They reinstated most of the books that people were bitching about, called their shit a "boneheaded error", and apologized, but haven't removed the policy of delisting things as adult on unspecified criteria, last I recall.

elsolylaluna May 14 2009, 22:29:24 UTC

So they made an effort, but haven't really fixed anything.

Well. Sounds like corporate policy to me.

Pert'much. (siiiigh.)

Ffffff why do people suck so much.

Btw, I was planning on making reservations for dinner when y'all come in on Thursday. emilytheslayer never had Ethiopian food and I was hoping to remedy that. Is that okay? :)

popelizbet May 14 2009, 22:25:49 UTC

They suck so much because frequently there aren't any consequences for their sucking.

Yes! But let me check and see how many from my group want to eat Ethiopian and need to be in the rez, okay?

pretzelcoatl May 14 2009, 22:26:49 UTC

Aight! I'll also need to collaborate on times -- I'm not sure when everyone is coming in.

Who all is going to be with you?

Any old time. Thanks for reading.

Yes to everything you've said here. Also, I love your tags.

popelizbet May 14 2009, 23:40:57 UTC

Hey, thanks!

...You're the one who did the photoshop of springheel_jack's post on the lolbertarian Randites, aren't you? I loved that so hard.

sabotabby May 15 2009, 00:29:51 UTC

One and the same.

popelizbet May 15 2009, 13:45:00 UTC

I linked to that shit multiple times from Twitter during the tea party nonsense. Good show.
