There are so many amazing things going on with the cover art, titles and taglines…  like… I can’t even…

51k7OJMyp4L._SS500_

Tagline: How do you convince a woman to live life by different rules?

Answer: Rohypnol & Ryan Seacrest’s hair.

51ifHyw-d2L._SS500_

Tagline: Can the wrong guy ever turn into Mr. Right?

Answer: Who cares as long as he’s wet and angsty.

51BMMKAZ35L._SS500_

Tagline is missing because the title, Speed Dating, single-handedly maxed out the terribleness quota for cover copy.

Cameo by race car driver Carl Edwards – a cameo in a book…

51JYRCMDSJL._SS500_

Tagline: Can he convince her he’s a changed man?

Answer: Yes. That smart clipboard and far-off gaze scream I’m off the hookers and booze, baby.

51NZ5ocTIPL._SS500_

Tagline: Trouble never looked so good.

Trouble looks like the kind of guy that won’t let you eat in his car.

51vsveY77EL._SS500_

Revised Tagline: They’ve invested too much [in sunglasses and spray tan] to give up now.

51WIwNzY4CL._SS500_

Tagline: She was born to race… deal with it!

The title, Speed Bumps, is actually referring to her coke habit.

51YyUD2MuZL._SS500_

Tagline: They would defy everyone they loved… for each other.

And now they are both serving back to back life sentences in Indiana.

517edQ4IF6L._SS500_

Tagline: Trust is a two-way street.

And it took two authors to madlib-in the required race car references.

Whose next in future business cross-promotional pairings with Harlequin Books? Peterbilt. Jon Deare.

This weekend, LoFiLounge.Org is hosting a full day celebration and exploration of “Remixed Media”-the art of re-approppriation.

Panelists across the arts will be contributing to “the ongoing conversation about remixing, mashups, copyright law, fair use, and the freedom of artists to access their culture in order to add to and build upon it.” Also, Moby will be speaking! Dance Party! And a film competition and screening will commence at 8pm-and I’m very excited that my demon baby video (featured on G4TV’s Attack of the Show, BoingBoing.net & NYmag’s Vulture blog) will be part of it!

On my way back from lunch this past Monday–following Saturday’s “Remedial Car-Bombing 101″ Final in Times Square–I was crossing 40th on 8th when a team of fire engines raced toward a freshly billowing cloud of smoke rising from the center of the street half a block down. Naturally, instead of getting the h*ll on outa dodge, I walked toward the danger and loitered long enough to get a satisfactory camfone pic. Apparently, my need to twitpic outweighs my natural instinct to run away from danger. Has the impulse to “first respond, share” in social media decreased the evolutionary fitness of our techno-savvy, social media hungry culture ? If 9-11 had happened in 2010, would a see of pedestrians be running toward the burning building instead of away from it, their out-stretched iPhones on record, leading the way? Let’s hope not)…
