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.

Her moment is fading. Works very nasty and explicit. Turning a lot of people off. Popular with 18-25 year old girls.

I got tattoos. Calling them body mutilation is a YUGE stretch.

One is a flowing vine with the names of my two favorite uncles (now deceased and my father) and the person that made a negative comment on it walking by me would be in ICU for a #### of a long time.

Good grief. And they rename their beer “America.” Pah.

The book was never meant to sell, nor was this book deal ever meant to make money: the only point of a book deal like this one is as a payoff to Chuckie Schumer by enriching one of his offspring.

On an attractive girl, the tramp stamp was quite enticing in the bars (didn’t say good thing, just enticing)

The ads go further, celebrating gay marriage and multiple genders.

I used to think Seth was funny, but he is just a leftist POS.

After walking out of his filthy, SICK, there-is-no-God movie, I wish him the worst.

Liberals buy their own books as gifts to boost sales numbers. Look at Hillary’s. DNC bought tons of them.

Is the book about tattoos or celebrating body mutilation?

A tattoo is a permanent reminder of a passing fad gotten by those who want to express their individuality by doing the same thing everyone else is.

Well there you go right there. Kinda' supports the reason some people don't care for people who outwardly sport tattoos, doesn't it?

When the attractive girl ages a few years and spreads a few pounds it doesn’t look so good anymore.

I thought it was to confuse those who liked rhe mystery series The girl with the dragon Tatoo.

People use similar titles to fool people into buying their book.

I am not familiar with the authot.

Maybe insulting every conservative and gun owner is NOT a good sale tactic.

One of the RN’s that works with my wife got a big flowing tattoo up her entire side from leg to shoulder. Was bragging about how it was a vine of grapes. Uh, hey girl, that’s just a bunch of pot leaves inked on your body, not grape vine. Doh!!!
Some people have no idea what some high school dropout is permanently marking their body with...

They were advertising this cows appearance at the Winstar casino in Oklahoma. Don’t see her drawing a big crowd there.

NO!!! that was hysterical!!!!!! James Franco kills me :)

I’m too embarrassed almost. Sausage Party!!

but i can explain, the commercial looked like animated talking foods thought it would be great to be bought, then are horrified when they found out they’d be eaten and try to escape.

That’s not what it was about. It was about the foods’ false belief that heaven was outside the grocery store, and there is no Heaven. And lots more garbage!!!

filth from beginning to end!!
