Showing Off Your Penis For Fun and Profit

Would you buy a book about a guy who tries to show his wedding tackle to the world? Neither would we. But there are other more famous organs we’d exploit.

Big CockOur favorite source of off-topic stories, The Register, clocked in today with a tale of a would-be book author with a really killer book pitch. His title: “Do You Want to See My Cock?”*

Naturally, we assumed it would be a treatise on poultry farming. But no. The central premise: The would-be author sets off on a quest to show his man-gear to as many people as possible, then writes about it, one would presume, at length.

(We remember when doing this sort of thing would get you arrested. Now it gets you on Letterman. But we digress.)

You might think snapping a few quick pix of the turtle head peeking out from its shell and posting them on Flickr would pretty much take care of the matter. But future best-selling author Duncan Webster sees a coffee table book in it. (Though given the likely size of the subject matter, we’re guessing a pamphlet would be more appropriate.)

This is a brilliant concept, and by “brilliant concept” we mean yet more proof that the apocalypse is finally upon us. But before the world ends in a fiery blaze, we’d like to suggest a few other books based on celebrated personages and their body parts.
