Have a look at this new Ellora’s Cave cover. Is there a woman coming out of his arse? Does he have bigger breasts than I do? And why is his head so small? Is it inversely proportionate to the size of his more different other head?

That’s the best I can do this early in the morning with no coffee and on the way to the surgery center for one last time (we hope) for The Only’s eye. TGIF, Bitches!
spam word: born82 – why yes, I think 82 of these covers are born every day.
Does this hat make my butt look big?
Irrational Photoshop
That’s about all my brain can come up with at this late hour of the (Downunder) night.
Hey, baby, rub my ass and a genie comes out!
Her: (sounding very exasperated) Oh not this again. Why can’t he ever get the “protection” right?
Him: Huh? What’s wrong with my hat?
Impractical Protection. Who knew the phrase “use protection” could be taken so many ways…
Okay, I’m super sick and blame the medications for that one.
Spam Word: Easy 31, oh how I wish it were it were so.
What a baffling illustration. Are hard hats fetish objects these days? I can’t think why else he would be wearing one while otherwise naked. Though I suppose he could have work boots on as well.
OW! My head hurts from popping out your butt!

Hey, the only required wear at work is a hard hat and steel toed boots.
Yes honey, but the naked hot guy over there has a nipple ring.
Irrational Arousal, Indecent Exposure. Note the daylight hour and the building behind him. Maybe he is eying a hot cop approaching him with a ticket book out. Oh, buddy, you are so going to have to register as sex offender for the next 20 years.

Him: *sniff**sniff* I smell danger. Let me dash away to get my lucky danger hat.
Her: I think that may be my armpit.
De-lurking to say that that is *not* an illustration. That is a PSA about the dangers of Photoshop Addiction.
It’s a serious problem, people.
Also, could someone patiently explain to me, the new kid, what all those words on the cover mean? I can’t if I’m more baffled by the image or the text (or the fonts).

(BTW, I love that this line is called “Twilight.” I can imagine the Twi-cover reading “if Mormon’s read erotic romance, Bella would love this book!”)
To go spelunking in her cave, he’d need a hard hat.
Can ‘irrational’ really describe an erection consisting of a woman popping up out of the wrong side?
eh, it’s early.
All I can think of is Bitch stole my nipples in the vein of Marion Barry’s “Bitch set me up.” BECAUSE THAT MAN HAS NO NIPPLES. It’s like, “whoa, male nipples, too gay!”
Also, I totally think they should sell marionberry cupcakes with “Bitch set me up” in icing on them. Brilliant, I tell you.
Maybe it should be called “Irrational Dress Code” instead.
“When you play with MY erector set, every zone is a hard hat zone!”
(On another note, you’d think somebody who went this crazy with Photoshop could at least have got rid of the woman’s tan lines.)
This cover is “Under Construction”!
Seriously – it’s like photoshop gone wild!
I’m gasping in delight over Impractical Protection. Loving it!
I’m beyond baffled, however, as to why the man is stark staring nekked and yet is wearing… A HARD HAT?
And what’s with the girl? Is she having a fit? Washing her hair (Herbal Essence anyone?)?
Hmmm… Hard Essence, perhaps? Though that sounds like a gay porno. Then again, the cover…
I pout nao! My butt is right thar but she has nothin to poke it with!
This will sound truly juvenile, but Men at Work: Farting My Love.
Robert “Big John” Johnson (now known as “Bob”) sadly learned the hard way that there were certain professions you should never do naked—even if you are wearing your OSHA-mandated hardhat:
1. Fry cook
2. Lion Tamer
3. Lumberjack
4. Construction worker
Trixi A’Lur was the most requested stripper on the bachelor party circuit until the terrible stripper pole incident took her legs.
When their eyes looked off into the distance as they stared at nothing in particularly, they completely missed meeting each other at physical therapy—making their arousal that much more….

I know that a some romance novel covers are laughably bad, but seriously now – is the artist trying to get their own post over at Photoshop Disasters?
Honey, I Shrunk My Head…Both Of Them.
As an aside, is there such a thing as a *rational* arousal? I don’t think a whole lotta thought goes into the process, usually. OTOH, she’s clearly trying to remember her grocery list and if she turned off the coffee pot, so maybe the irrational part is that she even gives a crap in the first place.
Spam word “example54”: We tried 53 other examples of man-titty-minus-nipples before we found the one that was *just right* for an indifferent ass-genie.

Like Athena emerging from the head of Zeus, Asshley emerged from his man canal… Jeremy Bowels put on his thinking potty as he flexed his chest in gratitude that she wasn’t a huge hemorrhoid.
The intestinal blockage, the moist towelettes, the itching/ burning sensation can only be shared in this amazing tale of daring love:
Passion and Preparation H
I though Athena burst forth from the other head.
IRRATIONAL AROUSAL, JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE.
Srsly, what is going on with the perspective for the building in the background? And what is wrong with me, that this is the thing that bothers me MOST about this cover?
Ooo! I thought of another title:
Passing Passion
Yes she did and Zeus got a huge headache, which is what sparked my poor simile above.
Wendy tried hard to lure Bob away from Scoop, but all he was dreaming of was the feel of his flesh against that cool, yellow steel. Can he do “it”? – Yes he can!

Or, conversely, as a movie trailer voice-over: “In a world where construction hats are the new pants, one woman dares to wear a tube top. Starring a guy who looks like Christopher Reeves, that woman’s hideous tan line, and an awesomely bad book title. Nipples not included. Starts Friday.”
