CUSSIN COMICS ~ ALL-STAR BATMAN #10

So, I'm checking out PerezHilton.com & stumble across this article. Then bits of the telephone conversation I had with my comp's DC Brand Manager start to replay in my mind: We have to stop shipping these immediately. Usually its a smear/smudge, duplicate page, error on a character's costume or some other thing that only comic fanatics go into a frenzy about. I'm thinking, no big deal. Wrong!
Our shipments hit trucks as early as 6 am. I got the call around 9 am. So what does that mean? Quiiiite a few of these were already on their merry little way to comic book retailers worldwide. A standard notice was sent to our customers:

***** SHIPPING ADVISORY: DC COMICS’ ALL STAR BATMAN & ROBIN THE BOY WONDER #10

Dear Diamond Customer:

Please be advised that copies of DC Comics’ ALL-STAR BATMAN & ROBIN THE BOY WONDER #10 (FEB080203-4D) may be included in your September 10 shipment.

At DC’s request, please do not place this book out for sale to your customers. Instead, please destroy any copies that you receive. You will be credited for these copies on your September 17 invoice.

Diamond apologizes for any inconvenience this creates for you or your customers. If you have additional questions, please contact your Diamond Customer Service Representative. Thank you.

Oh yea...I'm looking at both the regular cover & the variant. And yes, the potty mouth dialogue is there - its a lot more than the tidbits listed by Perez.
As for the ebay auctions...dammit! Diamond prohibits employees to participate in sales & auctions outside of a one time sale of private collections. I like my job, so I'm staying out of that one. But to anyone interested in this ebay listing: There is no CGC edition of All-Star Batman & Robin #10. So that "beautiful", "Great Investment" by an "Authorized CGC Dealer" is a knock-off, so keep your $499.99.

**UPDATE** The "CGC" is now listed as a presale. Ha!

BRISTOL PALIN ~ SCANDALICIOUS

I'll cut right to the chase...

In this video, LA native "Kevin" convincingly claims to be the father of Bristol's baby.


I have NO IDEA what's up with the song on this vid, but interesting pictures.


In this vid, they zoom in on the caption of a myspace pic of Sarah Palin & Levi's sister holding a baby. The caption reads: "Mommy Inlaw Trig and Myself".


Mrs. Palin...care to explain?

DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE

A summary from Allison Hobbs' website:

Chanelle Lawson is tired of the sex industry and is ready to hang up her G-string, but not before she snags Mr. Right--someone who is not only handsome but rich enough to cater to her every material desire. When she finally meets the ideal "catch" she soon suspects that he has a dark side and the man of her dreams might be her worst nightmare.

After three years of marriage, Dayna Reynolds begins to feel the overwhelming urge to conceive a child. Getting pregnant, she believes will revitalize her failing marriage and justify her enormous weight gain. Conceiving a child, however, isn’t as easy as she’d thought. For one thing, her husband is hardly ever at home and when he is, sex certainly isn’t on the agenda. Feeling unattractive and unloved, a vulnerable Dayna easily succumbs to the advances of an enigmatic stranger.

Reed Reynolds is striving for success by hobnobbing with members of an elite society. His new associates would be shocked to learn of his secret life—a life so sordid it jeopardizes his marriage, financial stability, and any chance of a successful career. Reed is a sex addict and his addiction has spiraled way out of control. Fully aware that he should seek professional help, he continues to recklessly indulge his perverted sexual urges, until they escalate into an unspeakably sinister act that’s beyond reason…beyond belief.

The character that brought this book to life for me...Reed Reynolds. Reckless & perverted only scratch the surface. I put this book down only when I absolutely had to. Dangerously In Love is definitely one for your collection.
