Reads the subject line of an email I got from maddox ( http://maddox.xmission.com ).

Here's a quote from a reviewer:
“So manly that even its sentences don't have periods.”
-Dan Berman

And here's the body of the email.....

For months I've given hints about the book I've been writing. Hints such as the title, and what it's about. No more foreplay. I'm going straight for the money shot with this next, and final book update. For the first time in the history of the universe,
behold the cover of my book:

The release is still slated for June, but it's available for pre-order on Amazon now (disregard the release date they have listed, it's a damn lie):
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/ ... 5Fcode=xm2

So how good is it really? Don't take my word for it:
http://www.alphabetofmanliness.com/?u=review

I'll post updates about any signings as the release gets closer, however, please take note of the rules of conduct I've listed on the "tour" page. Also, I may be having a contest to give away necklace versions of my book so you can wear one around town. I wear mine all the time and I've gotten 10% more sex because of it.

His site is so fucking funny, I think I'm going to buy it for the toilet. :icon14:

I can't believe he's been making money off of the same cliche for 5+ years. The content in the rants is the same nonsensical ideology that any 16 year-old-emo-faggot-high-school-dropout puts in their "angry" blogs.

Yeah, I get that's the point, but it doesn't mean it's a good one. It's like if I took a shit in on your kitchen floor to make it stink and disgust you, you'd be alright with it because that was my point.

It's akin to buying a book of Chuck Norris jokes.

Anyone can act like the fucking man on the internet, but it takes a big faggot to write a "manly" book. Alphabet of Manliness? Seriously, what. the. fuck. Don't support that shit. Also, reading those tour rules...I guarantee he's a giant pussy in person.

don't be so bitter, flowerboy. i laugh my ass off everytime i visit his site. :icon14:

his rants are the same as countless others that flood the internet in a vain attempt to write something shocking, witty, cutting-edge, or offensive. You can't tell me that the whole pirate, ninja, lumberjack, "I'm the fucking man and you're not" ideology isn't one big unfunny cliche by now. Exactly why I said it'd be like buying a Chuck Norris jokebook.
I'm not bitter, I just refuse to beat the dead horse like the rest of the sheep.

You mean a website with similar characteristics as your last two posts?
Are you sure you're not confusing Maddox with Tucker Max? Because he is certainly not funny.

what's so bad about beating a dead horse? does it make you less of an individual?
