Know Your Enemy #57
It's that same superbly angry young man again...
"I went on to Amazon.co.uk yesterday and read a fair sample of the 587 reviews [of 'The Da Vinci Code']. Those who gave it one star I salute you. To the 550-odd fucktards who gave it five stars and said things like 'the best novel I've ever read', 'wonderful writing' and 'amazing', I have this to say - go shove a stick of dynamite up your stupid ass and light it while standing in a bookshop next to a pile of Dan Brown novels, hopefully while Dan Brown is giving a reading to hundreds of adoring Brownites. You think the writing on sweet wrappers is Shakespearean and you dribble at bus stops while trying and failing to read numbers on the vehicles. Your favourite food are Chilli Cheese Tacos from the 99p menu at Burger King and you have hair like a mangy rat that has just swum through a mile of festering turd-slurry. May thousands of small black creatures burrow into your genitalia. May your children be green and have misshapen lumps on their forehead. May you become a big Cliff Richard fan."
This wasn't an unprovoked display of ire, though - He Who Cannot Be Named was responding to the question that originally headed yesterday's book meme: "You're inside Fahrenheit 451. Which book would you burn?" (my answer can be found in the comments box here).
His more tempered response to the rest of the meme is here.
