WTF (West Bend, Wisconsin, Edition)

[snurri]

Four members of a library board in West Bend, Wis., were dismissed last week for refusing to remove controversial books from the library's young adult section.

Three guesses what "controversial" means in this context.

For some reason I know a bunch of people from West Bend. None of them live there anymore. I WONDER WHY.

I haven't read it; but of course, every time a book is banned I think, "I should probably read that."

I am actually hoping that if my book is ever published some dumb fucks will ban it for homo reasons and I will cash in.

Cynical and awful, I know; I should instead be hoping that by the time this book is published (assuming it is), it will be laughable to ban books for homo stuff.
