SF Writers Sting Supposedly Traditional Publisher
deeptrace writes "A group of SF writers all submitted purposely awful stories to a publisher that purported to publish only selected high quality works. They created the worst story they could come up with, and it was accepted for publication." Their press release is pretty funny -- and if you'd like a sample of their insane prose, it's available through the book's Lulu site. (Where, Yes, you could also buy the whole thing.)
This news is at least 2 or 3 days old, what's wrong with /. lately???

my wang some seven inches, my belly at 30 around
yup, i'm a slim little motherfucker
i gots bones sticking out where my wrists should be
i got smokes going in where patience should go
i got nerves like crackling static
i gotta get a new thing before this one gets too old
cold filtered tins of joy are keeping me going
for long enough to change, i suppose
i gotta get a new thing cause i've worn this one through
job applications and interviews laugh at me
unemployment checks don't come
when there was a jesus looking down, this was easier
but you know that kinda thing wears down
like everything does
in the end you got this skinny little sick man
running on alcohol and fear
well, baby, that's enough to get tomorrow here
so tell me is this little poem art
or is it just some no-name fuckjerk making no sense?
well no matter what it is here it is
just some rambling type shit
and if you read this and think this cat may be on to something
something real
well, sucker, you're way off
real is a fucking suit sucking cock at a corporate job
real isn't gonna cut it here, daddy
if real worked, i'd be you
