GHB is Not Good For You!

I’m pretty sure I’ve done this cover before, but damn if I can’t find it. Well, whoever the cover artist is, I’m doing you twice, buddy! Shake ya tailfeather. Anyway, there are nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine reasons this cover is not sexy and the #1 reason is the girl looks to be pissed ass drunk (or drugged) and those two male pervs are about to hella date-rape her. The dark-haired one seems to be looking down at her saying, “Oh, dude, did it work?” and the blond one is saying, “Totally. All it took was six crushed Ambien tabs in her beer. I go first, dude.” The poor girl’s face is definitely slackened in a drug-induced coma kind of way. She’s going to wake up with a beer bottle up her vag and her ass feeling like a metro-train had gone through it. See, kids, this is why you never drink anything at the bar that wasn’t sealed or you didn’t see the bartender prepare himself. Unless the bartender is the rapist. Date-rape aside, take a look at the girl’s boobies. They look… swollen and I’m not talking about that “flushed with passion crap” either. They look like they’ve been in ten rounds with Mike Tyson. I think somewhere during the fight, her nipples must have fallen off because her bustier seems to be a little low cut and I see no nipples or even a hint of her areola. Oh, dude, I was trying to remember who she looks like and it just hit me right now. She totally looks like Donna from That 70’s Show.

Thanks to Anastasia for the cover!

    Umm… that’s a side effect of the GHB.

    That cover is so wrong in so many different ways.

    No. No, no, no. It’s just not right…

    Aaah! Make it stop!

    It looks like she was in some horrible Isadora Duncan-style scarf/neck accident, and he spine is all stretched and dislocated.

    Oh, that’s just awful. Who thought that looked good?

    This cover is suffering from a limb overload - she looks like she has two shoulders. Maybe it should be easier to tell your heroine apart from your hero(es).

    She looks like she has Down’s Syndrome. (I hope they have diet coke in Hell…)

    Eeww. She looks like a circus freak with that neck. This is *so* not the way to do a menage a trois cover! E

    Actually, the girls from “Smart Bitches, Trashy Books” (Sarah and Candy) did it as part of their weekly cover snark.

    Either way, it still looks bad.

    Did anyone ever see those National Geographic shows about the women in Africa who start wearing neck rings in childhood to stretch their neck? As they get older, they keep adding rings and by adulthood they have fantastically elongated necks. If the rings are removed (as is done to punish adultery) the woman’s head flops over and she suffocates because she has no neck muscles to support her giraffe-like neck.

    I wonder if that is what went on with this cover?
