Dad Wants $20K, Says Lesbian Book Disturbed Teens
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.

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."

He said he would fight any effort to put the book back on shelves.

"Any effort to reinstate the book will be met with legal action and protests from the Christian community," Adams wrote in the e-mail.

6. "He said he would fight any effort to put the book back on shelves"
Obviously he wants to keep the book himself, without having to pay an overdue fine.

4. Imagine that!
They just happened to find a book on lesbian sex in the library!
And I suppose they were looking for books about baseball.

13. I think I probably should check that awful book out myself
and have some uh... sleepless nights and all too. Plus get paid 20 grand for it. I love being a Christian.

19. Back in my day, "unexpected" exposure to lesbiana netted more than $20K
What a cheapskate.

PS
Two years ago, my band re-organized, changed it's name, and trademarked our new logo and name. When we were having the "re-name the band" contest, one of my suggestions was "Sapphic Frenzy." It actually got quite a few votes!
