Through the Smart Bitches I found out the crazy book burning lady from Friday's post was a hoax by the Lemony Snicket publicity people: Art Science. My only defense is that I didn't check out the crazy lady's website which is too cheesy to be real. Apparently, many newspapers were taken in as well. I was appalled by the idea of book burning. Considering we just had Banned Books week, I think they went too far. Banning and burning aren't something to treated lightly and I think a story like this takes away from the real stories of people trying to keep To Kill a Mockingbird and Where's Waldo? out of the hands of children.
I think someone must have had a blast designing that website.
