    In other news, GL Online has stated that Penguin Books had used psychical and emotional intimidation to coerce them into allowing the usage of the title "A Girls Life: Online".

    A representative from Boy's Life was quoted as saying, "girls have cooooodies, ewww. Good riddance!"

    This is just Plume's red herring attempt to get the pressure off. They've got to still be doing something we can be angry about!

    On the other hand, slashdotters will long remember that Penguin acted in an unethical manner. Perhaps they might even avoid buying books from them.

    Yeah, slashdotters will boycott a penguin. That'll be the day!
