Ah. That makes sense. Perhaps you also don't get the kind of spam that
I receive in my Yahoo e-mail (deleted unread, of course), and I was
disturbed to see a TV commercial to the same effect on one of the
movie channels the other night. (I was watching "Alexander" to see if
there was any historical truth in it. Wish I hadn't.) Please note that
I don't read sultry romances by choice. In this economy, I edit
whatever I'm assigned (short of actual porn). I'm trying to find a
company to work with that will offer me more enjoyable and more
professional manuscripts at a higher rate per page. Meantime, I get
novels in which the black heroine strives to get her husband back by
having her "European" figure surgically enhanced, not only her breasts
but her backside enlarged for his pleasure. Ugh! The antithesis of
bulimia and anorexia in white heroines who aren't "skinny" enough.
Anyway, it's enough to make me wish I'd gone into--I don't
know--engineering, maybe? Not that I have any aptitude for that field,
but I can't believe the things I read these days. (Apropos of nothing,
I came across a blog today that blamed *Israel* for 9/11. As if it
weren't absurd enough to blame the U.S. government for "bombing" its
own people.)
