"Father wants $20k for lesbian book giving his sons sleepless nights"

A Bentonville, Ark., man is seeking $20,000 from the city after his two teenage sons found a book on lesbian sex on a public library bookshelf.

He also wants the library director fired.

Earl Adams said his 14- and 16-year-old sons were "greatly disturbed" after finding the book, titled "The Whole Lesbian Sex Book." Adams said the book caused "many sleepless nights in our house."

Adams said the book is "patently offensive and lacks any artistic, literary or scientific value," according to a letter he faxed to Mayor Bob McCaslin. He said the teenagers found it while browsing for material on military academies.

Sleepless nights? lol I'll bet. Just remember to take the book back once you're finished with it. ;)

The poll has 91% saying no, they don't believe the boys were disturbed enough for $10,000 each.

teenagers...; then i'd say that the father was more disturbed about what they would learn from it ( plus all the excercise, lol).

Only in america would someone sue another person for such a big sum of money for such a trivial thing such as homosexuality.(p.s. did it have pictures).

or homophobes, strict religious extremists, monsters, gays, right wing politicians, vicars, ku klux klan... it could go on.

Well you say 'people' but I think that 8% might represent the blurring of humans and livestock.

The most disturbing part of this story is that 8% of people actually believe the boys should get $20k...

He's just trying to save face as the book is now 'unreturnable'.

Adams said the book caused "many sleepless nights in our house."

Wonder what they we're doing then......... :D

Only just noticed:

"Bentonville"

lesbians.

Nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat, say no more, SAY NO MORE, ay ay ay!?
