Todd Goldman Steals art and content from other artists,
This review is from: Boys Are Stupid, Throw Rocks at Them! (Hardcover)
Goldman has been accused of stealing dozens of ideas for his shirts and art from other artists. The accusations are that many of these images are copied almost directly from the originating piece, sometimes even traced, and in some cases, taken directly from Google Image Search and Microsoft Clip Art. Goldman has profited upwards of 100 million dollars from selling these images. Anyone thinking of buying this book and giving him more money should do a search for "Todd Goldman plagiarism" to decide for yourself if it's worth it to give your money to this guy.

Please, somebody, explain to me in what sense this book is 'light hearted' or 'humorous'..,
This review is from: Boys Are Stupid, Throw Rocks at Them! (Hardcover)
Please read the book, and pay attention when you get to the page where the girl kicks the boy in the crotch.
[...] Would someone please explain to me what's 'funny' about it? Try gender reversal: Please imagine a companion book titled "Girls are stupid, throw rocks at them" and include a graphic image of a boy kicking a girl in the genitalia. Now, use the former to explain what's funny about the latter. The mind reels at the thought: I personally cannot imagine that any reasonable person would honestly find either to be genuinely humorous. In my opinion it's 'funny' all right, but not in the humorous sense. Or, perhaps, I'm simply an out-of-touch old fogie who still clings to the quaint notion that kicking a person in the genitalia constitutes a violent act of sexual assault.

Don't support this art thief,

This review is from: Boys Are Stupid, Throw Rocks at Them! (Hardcover)
Steals artwork from other artists and passes it off as his own. Check out the wikipdedia article for many examples.

how mean,

This review is from: Boys Are Stupid, Throw Rocks at Them! (Hardcover)
I thought this was going to be a cute and funny book to give my teen daughter, but I'm so disappointed. It's mean and hurtful and inappropriate because I can't let the younger kids see it. It's definitely overpriced for what I got. I don't even want this in my home.

A dangerous, new low...,
By Claudette (New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Boys Are Stupid, Throw Rocks at Them! (Hardcover)
If something of similar ilk were written about women or blacks (I am both) there would be a major explosion. No wait, I take that back because it would not have even been published.
Also, if you think about it, this "humorous" book takes a swipe at parenting. Who has boys so Neandertal, ill-mannered and ill-bred? Not me. My teenage son is highly intelligent, mature, well-groomed and has been brought up to be a gentleman, kind to women as I am to him. This author implies that all boys grow up (or rather never really grow up) in an Animal House setting, without parenting. I find no humor in this book. It's just not funny. If anything, it's an appalling, insulting attempt at humor. And an invitation -- even jokingly -- to throw rocks at someone who, according to this book, is mentally challenged? Now that's stupid. Amazon... shame on you.

Publisher should allow "Throw Rocks at Girls in Iraq" to be published.,
This review is from: Boys Are Stupid, Throw Rocks at Them! (Hardcover)
Unbelievable, that this book was allowed to be published. In this P.C. centric society where gosh forbid we say anything negative about women or any racial group, there is a movement of bashing boys, and that's OK.
So, are we trying to put boys in their place now ... really knock 'em down while they're young, so they won't cause any trouble when older? How about in our relentless effort to be politically correct, we not treat every race and gender with respect? I'm offended that this book is even visible.

What a horrible product!,
By
This review is from: Boys Are Stupid, Throw Rocks at Them! (Hardcover)
This book is a typical example of the bias against boys. Our leaders of tomorrow are the boys of today. Those in academia or elsewhere have no right to exalt girls at boys' expense. In classes across the world, girls are being taught how grand and viruous they are, but the boys are shamed into seeing themselves as the sole responsibility for everything bad in the world, and are forced to apolgize for their very existence. We should be encouraging our boys and lifting them up to their future manhood, not rubbishing them with such terrible books as this one. The author has insulted and degraded half of the human race for a buck. Congratulations on your bias-profit. May this piece of trash be used only for fire tinder from here on.

Misandry makes big bucks,
By
This review is from: Boys Are Stupid, Throw Rocks at Them! (Hardcover)
Todd Goldman took money from his father, art stolen from other artists, and hate from feminism and made millions. Now he's selling sexism in a neat package and it pays big. Hate can make a person wealthy and these products are proof of it. Meanwhile, the war on males rages on. KACHING!

This book is awful,
By Marie Smith "Book lover" (Mission Viejo, California United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Boys Are Stupid, Throw Rocks at Them! (Hardcover)
This book is not funny. I was appalled when I saw the title of the book. People don't seem to think twice about bashing males. What if we change "boys" are stupid to Gays, mexicans, girls. How many people would be laughing about that. I don't think many would.

Should be banned from poisoning our society,
This review is from: Boys Are Stupid, Throw Rocks at Them! (Hardcover)
Imagine a book titled "Girls are stupid, throw rocks at them and kick them in the genitalia."Imagine a book titled "Gays are stupid, throw rocks at them and kick them in the genitalia." Imagine a book titled "Blacks are stupid, throw rocks at them and kick them in the genitalia." I'm a female myself and I find this book offensive. It teaches its readers that "it's okay to hate", that "it's okay to be violent to others", that "it's okay to call people stupid". And some people actually find it funny. No wonder our world is in such a loving, peaceful, beautiful state today. |
