"I'm the F**king Librarian, Motherf**ker"

Want shirts or buttons with this slogan? Right-click and save this image to your desktop and upload to Zazzle/Cafepress. Like I care!From an anonymous librarian's Internet rant, a partial response to an assinine post by marketing "expert" and Lex Luthor-lookalike Seth Godin:

Read a dozen news stories from the past year and there has almost always been some derogatory comment about the homeless sleeping in the library, or people looking at porn or Facebookers, or DVD renters or old people doing the crossword puzzles in the paper or whatever. As if these people don't deserve access to what they want, even if what they want is crap.

And that's my job to decide. Not Amazon's job or Netflix's or [Seth] Godin's. I'm the fucking librarian, motherfucker. I am not any corporation's bitch. And if I want books in the library, we're having books. And DVDs. And econtent. And graphic novels. And pie.
