Okay, That’s Just Wrong…

Uh… excuse me, Mr. Powers. I hope you have a receipt for what you’re holding in your arms, because if that’s the “bride” that the mail-order people sent you, then you totally got gypped. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, sir, but what you’re holding is an infant. A goddamn infant. I know there are states that would allow you to marry your kin, but I think marrying a female that is very obviously a minor is very much illegal in every state.

Oh, what? That’s not the bride? But this is a Silhouette Desire, right? Where’s the love interest? I don’t want to see some grown man kissing up on some baby on the cover of my Silhouette Desire! That’s just gross. Aren’t these books about women discovering their sexual power and using it to break away from the restraints of the conventional? Oh, it’s usually about secret babies, amnesias, and fake engagements? Damn it! I’m taking my ass back to Ellora’s Cave.

    She isn’t underage, bam. The alternate title for this story was, “Honey, I Shrunk You. Whoops.”

    OMIGOD. That is just wrong. I usually joke about guys going to playgrounds to pick up young chicks but he looks like he went to a day care. Yuk!

    that’s just a brilliant failure to make the cover appropriate.

    Or maybe it’s one of those scary sleepy-eye dolls and he’s going to dress it up in bridal finery and…no…that’s still just plain wrong.

    Maybe it is the ad he placed in the newspaper.

    ‘Yeah, use the word bride not wife and put this cute picture of me and my kid, huh, no the kid is 14 and in and out of jail but they don’t need to know that. Don’t want to advertise that I really need a maid, cook and errand runner. How many women would apply then? Yeah, bride is the right word. Romantic, right?’
