America (The Book) banned in Mississippi 


Jon Stewart's best seller America (The Book), A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction has been banned by the director of the Jackson-George Regional Library System in Mississippi, according to the Associated Press. 

The book was banned because of the fake nude photos of the U.S. Supreme Court Justices on page 99. It is #1 on the New York Times list of hardcover nonfiction best sellers and has been on the list for 15 weeks. The ban will probably boost sales of the book even further and motivate the citizens of Jackson and George counties in Mississippi to buy their own copies of the book they can't check out of the library.
