Author-friend Triceratophat made this! It's amazing! NOW STOP WRITING BORING-ASS BOOKS ABOUT BORING-ASS WHITE PEOPLE HAVING BORING-ASS VOYAGES OF NAVEL-GAZERY AND PRIVILEGE IN TROPICAL DESTINATIONS FILLED WITH "FRIENDLY" "GENEROUS" "HUMBLE" "ENLIGHTENED" BROWN PEOPLE WHOSE APPARENT SOLE PURPOSE IN LIFE IS TO BRING YOU A MOTHERFUCKING COCKTAIL WITH AN UMBRELLA IN IT WHILE YOU "LET YOURSELF GO" ALL OVER THEIR FUCKING BEACH. JESUS GOD PEOPLE IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK WE DON'T ASK MUCH.

Ah ha! Zombies make everything better. But tell me, Rejectionist, don't you wish that you would quit your job, your kid, your husband and your responsibilities as a whole...just to find that Javier Bardem was waiting for you at the other end of the world?
I DON'T
I want this to be a real movie.
I want the nun sitting next to her to secretly have machete for handy zombie dismemberment. Because my aunt (who is a nun) would totally be prepared like that.
My current wip is epic fantasy. My main character is male. Not once in the 67,000 words I've written do I describe the color of his skin.
What color is it?
This is my favorite take on Eat, Pray, Love.
"Eat, Pray, Love is a way catchier title than 'Spending a year indulging in expensive manias that the average person could never do.'"
I want to see /that/ movie!
I recently found your blog, and that poster just made my week. Brilliant!
Thanks for the picker-upper! The poster makes me feel so good about myself!
Le R, you may find this article edifying:

Rosemary, someone else just sent us that article; it's quite excellent. We feel so actualized in our $200 yoga pants! Heh.
Aw, thanks, Le R! I learned everything I know about cutting out photos of skulls right here.
Best of luck to those of you trying to earn the zombie merit badge that goes with the poster. THERE WILL BE NO MERIT BADGE FOR RACISM.
When I read EAT PRAY LOVE, I thought to myself, "Self, maybe that's what you need to do!"
Then I checked the air fares. Too high! Then I checked to see if family would pay for air fares. NO!
They told me that I should sit down to the dinner awaiting me, talk to the priest, the rabbi, and Paramo (a Swami devotee) who were guests at dinner, and give Emiliano - our Brazilian friend - a goodbye kiss when he left the dinner party.
That all protean diet is really working out for her.
i love you forever.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I've never seen that poster, so when I first saw the top half of the photo, I thought it was another street shot - an actor taking a break.
Only when I scrolled down did I see the genius. Including that huge scoop of Ben and Jerry's Brains.
@maine character: I didn't realize that the "ice cream" was actually brains until you pointed it out. FREAKIN' brilliant!
@ Joseph L. Selby: My first thought was golden-brown skin (burnt sienna?) with dark hair and black eyes... then my second, overly analytical biologist thought was: Wait? Where is this character from in his world? Would that skin color make sense for where he is geographically? Lesson learned...um, ? :p
great cover!
As an atheist, all I can say is: Amen. ;)
OMG, Rejectionist. Will you marry me, please? Please? I don't ask much.
Thank you. Thank you both.
Okay, THAT is FANTASTIC.
Yes!!!!!
Thank you for a great poster.
That is genius!
Too RIGHT! Indulgent drivel!
Middle class white lady porn.
It's a genre.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh gawd! Love it!
You officially made my day now! I *heart* you!
I found your blog as I was surfing the lit/publishing sphere and I just had to say:
THANK GOODNESS YOU SAID IT!
The entire movie smacks of privilege and navel-gazery! You're right! And I'm sure the subcontinent of India is absolutely giddy that it's been co-opted for another White Person's Spiritual Journey. Giddy, I say! :(
