The Rainbow Party

Ewww, ewww, ewww. Have you read the NY Times today? Check out "Are these parties for real?" at http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/30/fashion/thursdaystyles/30rainbow.html. Some 40 something author whose wife left him for a woman 8 years back has written his teen lust story. ( That description of the author is a farce, by the way. That is just what I am mentally picturing about an author who would foray into such pseudo-porn packaged as a white collar expose.)

Read the article. See what middle aged men with nothing better to do fantasize about. Be repulsed. Look strangely at men all day long.

By the way, you have to find it equally repulsive that the target demographic for this trash is your innocent, blow job giving teen. The last thing we need to be teaching this foolish Gen Y - the generation that has been so scared out of sex that they readily admit that they all engage in oral sex, but are still virgins - is how to turn oral sex into an orgy.

The author was formerly the pusher of such printed trash as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More With Feeling Scriptbook", "Angel: The Casefiles", and "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch Official Episode Guide".

Do any of you remember the newspaper journalist from Thomas Harris' Red Dragon, Freddie Lounds? Does this Paul Ruditis seem like the counterpart of this character? How come I can't find a picture of the acclaimed author on Google Images?

However, I was fortunate enough to locate an interview with the "author", by a member of the Buffy fan club or something similar. Love the quotes.

" I'm always intrigued when writers talk about the 'process' of writing. I really don't give it that much thought..."This is coming from the guy who lives in Burbank and readily admits to sitting around all day, watching crappy TV, and writing derivative books based on his fantasies of TV land. Someone get this man a hobby or a makeover or something.
