Amy Schumer's book sales disappoint first weeks on shelves
Fox News ^ | September 4, 2016 | The New York Post

Amy Schumer’s book, “The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo” — despite being No. 1 on the best-seller list for two weeks — is a disappointment, sources say.

Although it sold 36,000 hardcover copies in its first week, Simon & Schuster paid $9 million for the funny memoir.

“The publishers are hugely disappointed. They are going to lose a ton of money,” an industry insider told the New York Post.

Is the book about tattoos or celebrating body mutilation? Who’d want to buy it anyway. Plus, personally, I have no clue who she is.

Amazing how political connections operate.

That half-wit got millions of dollars for being the niece of a senator.

$9 million?! Aye carumba...I hope someone lost their job over that one. Who the hell thought the musings of Amy Schumer was worth $9 million?

All you need to know: Chuckie Schumer’s niece. His even more liberal niece.

Her beer commercials with uber leftist Canadian Seth Rogaine are disgusting. Talking about “equal pay for women,” they are Hillary ads disguised as non-partisan election ads.

What? People don’t want to read a book by a fat ugly tramp with a filthy mouth?

What’s gotten into them?

You can't escape those Bud Light ads during football. They keep promoting the gender wage gap myth. There's also a gay marriage propaganda one.

GEEZ I wish I could get one of these advances. These are just Kardashian bets, that fame from department A will rub off on department B. They never seem to take into account that:

People who like these “celebs” don’t read books.

People, I think, are not so forthcoming putting out $15 for a book that is obviously a piece of total zeroness. Yes, they will buy 4 Starbucks coffees that within hours are excreted down the toilet. But a doofus book, all at once is...

The popularity of Amy Schumer is, IMO, fantastically overestimated. From what little I’ve seen of her I’m fairly underwhelmed.

Any by the way....the book is getting really bad reviews an Amazon.

I am glad she was able to make $9 MM. No skin off my back.

Certainly you can. DVR.

Have not watched an NFL gaime in real time in years. Could not do it with the constant commercials and MSM B.S..

My old Dish Network remote was a thing of genius with a smart commercial zapper, timed to fast forward just the correct amount. Now, I have to time it just right, still so worth not watching the network garbage.

I don’t care much for Angry Shumer. Although she has criticized Muslim treatment of women unlike a lot of hypocritical liberals.

“Plus, personally, I have no clue who she is.”

Imagine a gorgeous, funny, young comedienne. She is the exact opposite of that.

I’m not up on pop culture anymore. What’s this bimbo’s claim to fame? Anybody know?
