Worst book cover ever! [PIC]

    • Systematic1, on 10/10/2007, -5/+38Why not submit the whole article? And in before all 6 of the morons who have never heard of Maddox or read this article and don't know it's satire.
    • ThinkBox, on 10/10/2007, -5/+40Linking to an old maddox post is like linking to google and saying "Awesome Search Engine"

      It aint news, been around since 97. We all love him, but this isnt for digg.
      • ayeroxor, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1097? Wouldn't it be linking to AltaVista?
    • Microdot, on 10/10/2007, -9/+22holy *****... are you people new to teh interwebz? why is this on the front page??????
      • xst4t1kx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Because digg, and the internet in general, is inundated with morons.
    • po43292, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3You can't judge a book by its cover!
    • Bonekhan, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1This is so completely screwy--why not link to Maddox, who actually CAME UP WITH THIS IMAGE? Oh, because this wouldn't help you on digg, correct? Moron.
  • tech10171968, on 10/10/2007, -19/+1Okay, that was just _wrong_!
  • FLaw, on 10/10/2007, -6/+112"Hey kid, hold my log."
    • euphemizeme, on 10/10/2007, -28/+15Log is a euphemism for penis in this case. It looks like the kid is holding the man's penis.
      • nymphetamine, on 10/10/2007, -3/+42No way! No freaking way! I don't believe you! Liar!
        • euphemizeme, on 10/10/2007, -2/+38My uncle had me hold his penis when I was younger; I think I can speak with authority on this matter.
        • Twisty, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8wtf?
      • titlesaysitall, on 10/10/2007, -5/+4Wow, did you figure that out all by yourself?!?
        • rebopper, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4If you had read the whole thread you would have seen, he did not figure it out, he knew it. He held his uncles penis, gosh.
      • titlesaysitall, on 10/10/2007, -9/+1Wow, did you figure that out all by yourself?!?
        • GiggleStick, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8No but he's working on figuring out the submit button.
      • mydigga, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4So, euphemizeme found a euphemism? I'm lost...
    • MaxPayne3476, on 10/10/2007, -11/+6I see what you did there!
    • Celeron, on 10/10/2007, -10/+3@euphemism

      No *****, Sherlock. Thanks for pointing it out to us.
    • defectDS, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Is... is that Hasselhoff?
      • Mitijea, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7It's Chuck Conners.
        • dinki, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Actually it's Chuck Connors. He was the first guy to break the backboard in professional basketball.
  • str3ama, on 10/10/2007, -10/+205"A mysterious bag holds the secret past"
    rofl ...testicles?
    • gcnaddict, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8"a threat against Lucas and Mark McCain" ...testicular cancer?
  • Damien79, on 10/10/2007, -9/+90Hey Archeologist did you dig this up from maddox's site or what, so old.
    • Archeologist, on 10/10/2007, -6/+35Hey I'm an archeologist. Digging is what I d. ;)
  • CathEase, on 10/10/2007, -35/+2Skills in publishing have changed considerably. My first impressions of the covers was not your first reactions. I can hardly see the pornish suggestions you find. I would like to suggest our society and cultures have evolved to a preoccupation with... body language??

    I wish I could interest you into a past time that may be better spent. I have two little girls I am trying to save from the man that molested them. I have little interest in their demise. Wouldn't you lend me your eyes and ears for the same amount of time you spent on these covers and the web page to display them? You never know, your interest, your energies, might make you a hero, or part of a community that helps people out of their horrid circumstances they endure every day.

    Take no offense. I'm not saying retro-reflection is not a good past time.
    • Vash265, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22Alright, I normally try to make my comments a little more elaborate than this, but seriously - what the *****.
    • BlackOp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16What the hell are you talking about and what has it got to do with this pic?
    • noahhoward, on 10/10/2007, -7/+1Wow, way to go Vash, BlackOp and the 21 diggers that buried her comment.

      You have demonstrated her point with great success. When this cover was published society wouldn't have seen a 'humourous' display of suggestive intent, but today that is all you can think of. It shows something is wrong when this is how you respond to an otherwise innocent image.
      • Vash265, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3...or because the content was put into the context of "Worst book cover ever", we were led to look for something out of the ordinary...besides, I was more referring to:

      • BlackOp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1^ What vash said. And FYI I didn't bury her/him.
    • KingBabi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1That comment made almost as much sense as "The Life All Around Me By Ellen Foster"
  • queso74, on 10/10/2007, -2/+82Hold my wood, Billy...
  • IShouldBeWorkin, on 10/10/2007, -3/+24Hey, what do you expect for 15 cents?
    • JoeBlunt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1By the look on his face, I'd say he's pretty happy how he spent his 15 cents.
    • JoeBlunt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1.
  • Gophergreg, on 10/10/2007, -5/+8So, I see you have wood.....too.
  • dwninjungleland, on 10/10/2007, -8/+140Here's an idea: Let's just go through maddox's site and post EVERY SINGLE THING individually!!!1
    Yeaaah!!
    Hey guys, check this out: 'for every animal you dont eat... blah blah blah' FTW!!!!
  • mishsquish, on 10/10/2007, -14/+7Digg, for all your technology news!
  • TheWorm, on 10/10/2007, -5/+76Burried as 6 years old. Just read best page in the universe.
  • bingobongony, on 10/10/2007, -13/+4This cover is not really all that suggestive to anyone whose maturity grew beyond that of a 7th grader. (Which is why every Digger thinks it is suggestive.)
    • BradMW, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8No, it is extremely suggestive. I'm sure the lowly cover artist was just sliding a joke past whomever is in charge of OKing cover art for books.
    • FreeiPodGuy.com, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7I disagree. The cover was created before the age when content creators and consumers were constantly bombarded with sexually suggestive images. People see what they expect to see.
      • rationalist, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4Ah, the mythical Puritan age, when husband and wife slept in separate beds, after a full day in which Dad, after eating a full breakfast of two sunny-side up eggs, four slices of sizzling bacon, three perfect pancakes, and a glass of orange juice cooked by Mom (while fully dressed and made up and wearing pearl earrings and necklace), went off to play S&M games with his secretary while Mommy ***** the poolboy behind the cabana, frustrated with Daddy coming home each day and beating little Timmy who got caught in the well for the seventeenth time because he forgot to save Lassie from Michael Vick's dog fighting ring...

        I mean, golly gosh darn Romney!
  • kakwakas, on 10/10/2007, -6/+51Older than the internet.
    Seriously.
  • cerealjynx, on 10/10/2007, -8/+3I like how the cowboy done pee'd hisself.

  • lex0429, on 10/10/2007, -5/+11is that David Hasselhoff?
  • BladeMelbourne, on 10/10/2007, -9/+2That cowboy has a big woody. Didn't that kid get a role in Brokeback Mountain?
  • takua108, on 10/10/2007, -5/+13Pff. Maddox rip = buried.
  • CielChocobo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9Buried for being old
  • MagicCake, on 10/10/2007, -3/+23Buried for digging up an old thing written by Maddox...which is fine in and of itself, except you just put the one picture instead of the full page, which is lame.
  • solarweasel, on 10/10/2007, -4/+12i dunno if i wood read this
  • Prometeus, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15Archeologist[sic], isn't this your second Maddox-related post in the last 15 hours?
  • OUChevelleSS, on 10/10/2007, -6/+7Way to rip off Maddox. You could at least remove the image URL first.
    • MrSunshine, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Let's not start how many images Maddox ripped himself and didn't credit, ok?
  • RenovatioInc, on 10/10/2007, -4/+0there could always be worst
  • donkeyshow, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1WANG
  • Stalled, on 10/10/2007, -8/+2Isn't maddox against people stealing images and ripping him off like this? I'm going to bury this.
    • MrSunshine, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3No need to take him serious, the hypocrite rips off images himself then slaps HIS copyright on it.
  • Kles, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5The... "rifleman"?

    Oh, come ON.
