Tara Booth

Things to Do Instead of Killing Yourself by Tara Booth and Jon-Michael Frank is, well, published. I can honestly say this is just a little better than the one I recently read from Frank, so there is that.

Some of these are actually decent ideas with a slight bit of humor. On the whole, they are just crude "drawings" with asinine comments. And, as in Frank's book, animals are for abuse. In this case the suggestion you paint your dog day glow. There was a story recently about police trying to find the criminals who painted stray dogs, because a couple died and a couple were saved in time. So basically Booth and Frank want you, to make yourself feel better, to potentially kill and definitely make your dog sick. Can we talk about what is really sick about that?

Though a few were okay, this collection seems like the "writers" and "artists" wasted a good 10 minutes of their lives creating this. They should have used it within the context of self-help and not as a way to encourage people to kill their pets.
