Published November 10th, 2010 |

But, quite recently, a self-published e-book made its way to the Kindle Store that is so reprehensible that it make even the most passionate defender of the First Amendment cringe: The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure by Phillip R. Greaves II Lest you think for a second that it’s someone’s idea of humor or satire, I assure you, it is a book about exactly what the title suggests — it is a guide written for and about pedophiles in defense of pedophilia. Yes, that’s right, every kiddie rapist now has a handbook, a bible, a manifesto to go along with his collection sweaters and bow ties. And if the title alone isn’t enough to make you nauseous, check out the product description written by the author:
This is my attempt to make pedophile situations safer for those juveniles that find themselves involved in them, by establishing certian rules for these adults to follow. I hope to achieve this by appealing to the better nature of pedosexuals, with hope that their doing so will result in less hatred and perhaps liter sentences should they ever be caught.
According to Amazon it’s a bestseller. I wonder how many of copies of this title have been downloaded?
