Very Strange Things
May 21, 2008


Stodgy Canadians are up in proverbial arms about a fresh new image for their beloved, freckle-faced scamp "Anne of Green Gables". They apparently take umbrage with her being portrayed as a lovely, buxom young blonde lass.
I happen to prefer gingers, myself, but I still think it was a bold, intelligent marketing decision.


Similarly, boring girly literature enthusiasts are outraged by the updated cover for a 50th anniversary release of some book called "The Bell Jar".


In this case I am baffled as to what the issue might be. It is a story about a woman isn't it?

I'm tired of writing, because it is boring, but here are a couple more that have stirred up a bit of controversy for some reason:




Any more you've seen? Any you know of that could stand to be tarted up a bit? Go for it.

I'm currently at work, and the image (the photo itself) is low quality. I can't really tell what's going on. That's not what I think it is, is it?

Ohhh yes, it is! Sorry about the quality, you may need to step back a bit to fully appreciate what's going on.

Well considering how I had to squint at it, I might be able to get away with seeing it. That IS funny, though!

It is impervious to reason or pleading, it knows no mercy or patience.

These are not mine. In fact, these are the output of an an actual publisher, called Pulp! The Classics. Genius or stupidity, you decide. (Hint: it's stupidity.)

I'm sorry, but these are all awesome.

Talked to Jesus lately? More bars in more churches, synagogues, mosques and all other places of worship, guaranteed.

Low hanging fruit.
