AWESOME TKC TIPSTERS tell us that the back story on this one is that a very savvy Kansas City area mommy blogger wanted to get a bit of camera time and this is how she did it . . . By bothering people with real jobs . . .
Fairway leaders tell mother to hold off on little free library
Still, let us never forget . . .
LITTLE FREE LIBRARIES ARE THE NEW HOTNESS FOR KANSAS CITY MIDDLE-CLASS WHITE PEOPLE WHO WOULD LIKE TO FEEL PERSECUTED WITHOUT TAKING ANY REAL RISKS!!!
In much the same way that "strip aerobics" was all the rage in 2010 among white women looking to add a bit of safe sleaze to their cardio routine.
More in a bit . . .

ReplyDeleteIt really sucks. If they would just get with the program. Mainstream with the new demographik. stop working, collect free money from the government, ignore their kids, watch Hip/Hop all day on their new phones and tear up the blocks where they live.
That would be a good start. Who gives a fuck about knowledge and erudition, when you can drown yourself in modern culture?
Well said Chuck. I do think if they really need books though Half Price Bookstore is the place to go.
ReplyDeleteHaha, it's worth watching the first 30 seconds of the video just to see the couple's matching Waldo outfits. And I don't mean lulumon yoga pants... I mean WALDO outfits.
ReplyDeleteGood one Chuck. Little Libraries could go on that list THINGS WHITE PEOPLE LIKE. On things these little libraries have going for them, no risk of theft.
ReplyDeleteI'm an avid reader, yet find this fad to be really silly. Both KCMO and JoCo have excellent libraries where people can borrow books for free. What is the purpose of sticking a box in your yard? If you have extra books you no longer want, there are lots of places to donate them. I think most of the proponents of these things are just hungry for attention.
ReplyDelete11:01... I think the idea is to promote a little sense of community, you know, that thing that is generally completely unheard of in the US? While walking the neighborhood, you might see a book in one of these and like it, and maybe God forbid actually get into a conversation with the person about it.
ReplyDeleteKC Rule of Living: Anyone doing anything other than watching spectator sports is merely hungry for attention, and to be watched with MUCH suspicion.
Give her a break. She's married to a faggot. She needs something good.
ReplyDelete1225; looking to swap and discuss books? join a book club or reading circle. don't clutter the neighborhood with these goofy little boxes. luckily our hoa doesn't permit such yard art, so even if the city approves it we won't have to look at it.
ReplyDeleteHeaven forbid we promote literacy. I can't think of anything worse than reading books, other than the bible of course. Good for bullet backstops and nothing else. I say take all their books and burn them. Except for the bible of course.
