I took great pleasure in clicking the deletion button on this propaganda dump from the automatic recording of Prime Time . .
Didnt even need to give it a second thought
That was my first thought!

The whole Portlandia series is just relentlessly funny.
Another classic episode (Barista Manifesto):

Conservatives moved to electronic books early, because liberals couldn’t effectively restrict electronic distribution channels.
That is, afterall, the exact same dynamic which brought Free Republic about.
Don’t they have the author’s picture on the back? So, they’re showing all the male authors, those misogynists!
OOH, if there is profit spike, it would only encourage more business owners to create disharmony between the genders [, races, religions, just because, ...]
OTOH, I remember a chain in Boston, Filene's or Jordan Marsh, having a promotional campaign entitled "Orient Expressed" featuring live acts and demonstrations, at least at the flagship store, that luckily coincided with the tv premier of "Shogun". That drove sales of woks and chopstick hair thingies, among sales in general, from the extra, positive, traffic.
If the book is laying sideways on the shelf, what is the property interpretation?
That would be June.
“Bookstores are primarily populated by libs. Sales won’t change.”
Actually, they probably will change. No matter who “populates” the store those who do are attracted to books by cover art. Turning the book over cancels out the attraction to the book. Sales should drop. This has been shown in marketing studies. The only thing that might counteract this would be an influx of patrons drawn to the store because of the article or some special effort to sell books by female authors. Otherwise, sales will drop.
soon to be out of business.
Should be easier to find the books about cats & hairstyle.
Nice to see ‘Atlas Shrugged’ and ‘The Fountainhead’ so prominently displayed ...
Notice that this was only in the fiction section. If they had done that in the non-fiction section, they would have embarrassed themselves by showing the stereotypes are real. Half of the cooking and new age self help books would be turned over, but 80-90% of everything else in non-fiction would be turned over.
It would be like if in the Super Bowl, the Atlanta Falcons required Tom Brady to be blindfolded for the entire game. Then when Atlanta won the Super Bowl they would all pat each other on the backs for "beating" Tom Brady and the Patriots.
Of course, showing that Art can never top Life for absurdity, the owners of the book store where "Portlandia" filmed these skits has shown Liberalism's total lack of humor by banning "Portlandia" from filming at the store; for the usual catechism of reasons; "Transmisogyny – Racism – Gentrification – Queer Antagonism – Devaluation of Feminist Discourse".
My daughter manages a department at a bookstore. They are interested in selling books.
Most expensive hour for sale for $5,000,000 in Shaker Hts.:
Least expensive for $19,000:
Inside:
6 beds 8 full, 3 half baths 9,374 sq ft 3.5 acres lot if you are interested.
I buy the books I want online. No need to deal with BS like this at stores. Enjoy losing more customers.
Generally speaking, the closer you get to the Cleveland border, the lower end the housing goes in Shaker. I was a meter reader in the area about 1000 years ago, when reading meters was still a job. I have seen both ends of it, but there are a lot more of the latter than the former.
I’ve been away from CLE for quite a while now, but if I moved back, I would not choose to live in Cuyahoga County, and if I did, it would be the west side.
No, just flip all the female authored books. Then it would be impossible for them to find them, and they’d have to go through all 10 thousand again. And of course, customers would just leave being unable to find anything.
