           Ya Sam:
           My precious sensibility is definitely hurt 
           and I will make sure I buy the hardcover 
           edition of 'The Road' untainted by the 
           sigil of corporate greed. Well, publishers 
           put the logo on the cover, it's true, but I 
           don't believe they do it without Oprah's say-so.


As opposed to, by way of example, the sigil of those greedy bastids at the 
Tibetan Chamber of Commerce. Anyway, you used to be able to remove 
the  beastly mark of Oprah by peeling off the sticker, now it's worked right 
into the cover design. That new translation Of Anna Karenina has a "French"
styled wrap around. On the other hand, Oprah will karmically pay for all 
those "sealed" copies she unleashed on the world of "A Million Little Pieces", 
they will weigh heavily in Oprah's karmic leger.
