As if you needed anymore proof of how nasty "they" are

get this, i was at barnes and noble today thumbing through david brock's "the republican noise machine" -- after a few minutes, and few more page flipping, i noticed something was stuck in one of the pages -- it was one of those little sensor things with a barcode that someone had taken off another book and stuck in there so it'd go off on whoever bought the book.


so what did i do?


....stuck it in hannity's "let freedom ring" :evilgrin:

Good job. More like Let freedom Reign down upon you like a smart bomb in the middle of the night.

2. not a dirty trick

I think some book stores put them inside the books so people won't see them to pull them out and shoplift. I found one last week in my copy of a history of the man who founded Luna Park at Coney island, a very apolitical book. I also found one in a copy of Mutts cartoons at Borders. When the clerk "sweeps" the book across the sensor it turns it off.

I like your solution tho. I wonked as a volunteer in a library some years back and I found a strip of the sensors they put in books. I slipped several into a buddy's posessions, including his thermos. :evilgrin:

3. but this one had clearly been torn off another book

it had that fuzzy stuff on the back indicating it'd earlier been on a book.

Mine didn't have the "fuzzy stuff"
