I got kicked out of the bookstore today.

IanExMachina

Apparently I wasn't allowed to move Kate McCann's book into the murder mystery section.

Did you even ask them to do it for you first?

IanExMachina

They declined along with my request for bible in fiction section etc.

On topic of the McCann book, I really shouldn't judge it by it's cover -up.

┻━┻ ︵ ヽ(`Д´）╯︵ ┻━┻

"request for bible in fiction section"

Yeah, that isn't going to go well.

IanExMachina

Everything I've said is a joke so far.

Although the bible if intended as metaphor for living it isn't FACT.

"request for bible in fiction section"

Dude, you're my new hero.

^ Awwwwwwww.

I don't actually know who Kate McCann is, so i'm assuming the book isn't supposed to be there?

IanExMachina

The mother of Madeleine McCann who was 'kidnapped' during a holiday in portugal, and the media went crazy (as she was a cute white girl). Whereas there is healthy doubt to whether they accidentally killed her and lied about it.

Kate McCann released a book recently about it.

@everest

It would be less awesome if I were to do it as nowhere near as much religious regard here in the UK, also most of the bookstores here have only uni students doing the store stuff, so most likely they'll have heard it before or laugh.

I like when people move The Origin of Species into the science fiction section.

It makes me sad inside.

IanExMachina

Well points for them as it is punny.

glennmagusharvey

I want to see someone moving The Origin Of Species into the sci-fi section at the same time as someone else moving The Bible into the historical fiction section.

Trash_Vortex

It would be a moment of intense humanity, as their gazes meet, and just for a second, they connect.

Five minutes before the two pugilists are removed by security from store grounds.

Vorpy

You aren't allowed to read the books in my Barnes and Noble before you buy them.

snowbull

wut

like, not even look

IanExMachina

Not even to browse/see if you like it before purchase.

Saigyouji

I'd be more amused to see the same person moving both.

Vorpy

No, it's because we have had a bunch of people just coming in to read books, never buying them, and leaving. The same people too. They would talk to others saying "Why are you buying the book when you could just read it here?"

They took up most copies of books people wanted to buy and never let them go until they were done reading them too, so yeah, they kind of ruined it. Hopefully it will come back though.

snowbull

...why don't they just go to a library? That's what they're there for....

IanExMachina

Do you not have a local library in your area :S?

-whistles-

"why don't they just go to a library?"

Stores have a much higher chance of having cleaner books.

NOT THAT I WOULD KNOW OR ANYTHING

-shifty eyes-

Vorpy

I don't know. We have a library, but I rarely go to it because all of their Lovecraft books are always checked out. I like their coffee though.

Khwarizmi

I lol'd at the OP.  I'm a terrible person.

The Bible shot was kinda cheap, though.

GLORIOUSLeader

No, a cheap shot would have been "I tried to consolidate the Religion section into fiction, but nobody knew the names of the authors." 

IanExMachina

@Khwar

Lol at child murder jokes, frown at bible moving jokes...

@Vorpy

Just buy the big lovecraft necronomicon, be sorted.

Trash_Vortex

I too. Loled. You can say what you want about the Mccann situation, but that snide jab would be swift regardless.

I don't think I'm really in a position to assess the culprit cluedo-style.

Nyktos

OP was pretty lame imo.

@Vorpy: Obligatory.

IanExMachina

Honestly I don't care where the bible is in a book store, it is unlikely I'll ever buy one, I was paraphrasing an old joke.

Khwarizmi

Oh, I didn't frown, it's just a very old joke.

See, even you agree with me, you ninja, you.

Vorpy

ha, xkcd  made me laugh.
