In one of my friends group chats, one of my bros posted a picture of himself with a book, attempting to be funny; it\u2019s okay because he\u2019s black obviously.\u00a0 Now of course there\u2019s a part of me that did think it was funny, but more than that, I had more questions than I thought it was amusing the whole irony of black guy perusing book with inflammatorily racist title.\u00a0 Namely, the curiosity on if it really were a book with 328 pages with nothing but the N-word in it, or if it were just an attention-grabbing title, with the contents of the book actually being something substantial.<\/span><\/p>\n Nope, it was the exact polar opposite in the sense that it actually had absolutely nothing at all inside of it, as in zero text whatsoever, between the header and footer of every page.\u00a0 And according to Amazon, it\u2019s not even actually 328 pages, so it\u2019s more like 242 blank sheets of paper sandwiched into a book form, and it\u2019s somehow $14.99 on Amazon, and shocking to absolutely nobody is that it\u2019s been purchased enough to have a slew of verified purchasing reviewers doing their best jobs of being internet comics and failing predictably with \u201creviews\u201d of it.<\/span><\/p>\n All the same, what we have here is another classic example of people out there in the world who knowingly put out means for people to spend actual currency that are useless, pointless, known wastes of said currency; and then to no surprise, people go out and actually do it, because they think it\u2019s funny and\/or they really are that stupid to where they\u2019re completely at ease with dumping their cash for goods or services that serve no purpose whatsoever, instead of, possibly putting it to any good use at all.\u00a0 Not for themselves, not for charity, not for anyone at all, but basically the equivalent of knowingly setting their own personal cash on fire.<\/span><\/p>\n It’s like the idiots who raised $50,000+ for some clown\u2019s GoFundMe trying to make a potato salad, or that time where Cards Against Humanity had a live-streaming sale where people paid in real-time to keep an excavator operating digging holes for absolutely no reason, or when Cards Against Humanity literally sold nothing for $5 a pop and still raised tons of money.<\/span><\/p>\n People just, love to throw their money away, when they think in doing so, they\u2019re in on some clever joke. \u00a0And it\u2019s instances like this where it\u2019s apparent that some people have too much money or too little intelligence or both, and it just turns into scenarios where the end result is just a nihilistic feeling of disappointment and losing faith in the species to where people would rather spend $5 on nothing than putting it to absolutely any form of productivity instead.<\/span><\/p>\n I know this is rich coming from a person who has spend an inordinate amount of money on replica wrestling belts, but at least those purchases are going to businesses or individuals, or parties where amassing money is some sort of objective, and not knowingly throwing it into a barrel fire.<\/span><\/p>\n And here\u2019s the worst part; while looking up the particular book, just to get my facts straight, it turns out that it\u2019s not alone.\u00a0 I wish I could say I were surprised by this, but of course I\u2019m not surprised, that there are basically two other alternatives, with one of them literally changing out one word and adding \u201cFun\u201d into it, while the other is just fewer alleged pages.\u00a0 And that\u2019s just on Amazon alone, I can only imagine how many other copycat \u201cpublications\u201d of this same title are floating out there.<\/span><\/p>\n Naturally, people are buying them, and aside from disgust, I\u2019m also a little envious in the fact that these clowns are also getting a cut of the purchases of their bad jokes, while I\u2019m struggling to make ends meet every single month and always looking for ways to try and make some extra money in order to have some breathing room.\u00a0 I can\u2019t say that I wouldn\u2019t be above trying to capitalize on bullshit to make money, but there\u2019d probably be a part of me that wouldn\u2019t want to be a flagrant hypocrite in order to try it out.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In one of my friends group chats, one of my bros posted a picture of himself with a book, attempting to be funny;
