Book Disguises

With tonight's much ballyhooed release of that Harry Potter book, a man needs no further reminder that he's frequently surrounded by ballyhooing idiots. All wizardry aside, occasionally you will also purchase a stupid book that you''ll never own up to reading -- so print out a Harry Potter Book Disguise.

To prep for Deathly Hallows, blogger David Wong invited Photoshopping-visitors to make print-it-yourself fake book jackets, designed to trick fellow commuters into thinking you're not rereading The Babysitters Club 6. The resulting biblio-costumes feature enough sex, violence, and man-on-shark action to convey unalloyed masculinity, reviewed with testosterone-y critical praise ("My wife read one page, screamed, and grew a c*ck!" --). A few of the "titles" you can choose from:

  • Death Hall, by the author of the classic tomes Bastard F*ck and Tithooker
  • Ari Posner, Nazi Hunter
  • Terry Normal and the Land of Absolutely No Wizards or Anything Like That
  • Shaving Your Balls with a Butcher's Knife... for Dummies

Clicking on any of the images pops open a full-size version you can use to mask your guilty pleasure -- because it's one thing for a man to enjoy submarine bestiality, but enjoying mystical children is something else entirely.
