Destructively Delicious
October 11, 2007 1:04 PM Subscribe
Destructively Delicious Jerry Seinfeld's wife just wrote this incredible book. She was on Oprah yesterday. If you have any problem getting your kids to eat vegetables, you have to check out this book! I was totally skeptical myself, but after watching her on Opera and seeing her book, I'm a believer!
This post was deleted for the following reason: Larry, a link to an Amazon page for some book is not a good Metafilter post, no matter how good the book is, and people here are going to be inclined to think you're shilling or hoping for referrer cash. -- cortex
Deceptively...

Ooooooh. I wonder if there were any orange juice coupons on the show, too.
Seriously, what I like best is this dude's post history, in which he also shills for Blockbuster. Nice job, yo.

So does your marketing company contract with both her publisher and Blockbuster? Also I have heard that Destructively Delicious advocates grinding up drugs and feeding them to children. What's the deal?

Woops. I use voice recognition software because I am disabled. I meant to say "Deceptively Delicious!"
I actually said that, but my voice recognition software did not get it correctly.
Sorry

And I hope I have time to mention: the cover image is fairly frightening, in a weird and undescribable way.

Your voice recognition software also spells the word "Whoops" as "Woops"?
Get new software, dude.

Let me just kindly say that a single link to a new Amazon book is generally not a very good front page post for Metafilter. I understand you feel this is the best thing since sliced bread, but that is a good indicator that you may not be objective enough to make the call that it is good enough to expose other people to it.
This is going to be deleted. I suggest you lurk more, read more and learn how to integrate into the community before trying again.
(lord help you if you are actually involved with this so called book, because the post reads like a classic example of self promotion)

What a waste of a nice neat user number. 60800. Just look at all those curves.
And if you really are Larry G. David, you should know that Curb Your Enthusiasm sucked. Wow, a show about a neurotic jewish guy from New York? Groundbreaking. What's next, airline peanut jokes?

Sorry, Larry. People around here don't know how to act.
Everybody: god, ease up. I start to think y'all didn't learn anything from MiHail. Just because somebody's not an expert at posting guidelines doesn't mean they deserve this, you jerks.
Again, Larry, sorry about these people. Welcome to MetaFilter. I hope you stick around long enough to meet the rest of us.

If we'd like to talk about the subject at hand before this gets deleted: doesn't this further reinforce the idea that vegetables are "ewww, icky" food, if we think they should be hidden? I find that kids who don't like vegetables are often averse to them because they never see their parents eating healthily. If mom and dad think french fries are the tastiest thing ever, good luck getting junior to eat spinach.

I should also add that the day I take cooking advice from some idiot whose only claim to fame is that Jerry Seinfeld banged her and still called her back is the day I shoot myself in the face after a nine state killing spree.

In all seriousness, Larry, Metafilter is occasionally visited by people who use the links to post ads for their products.
Very frequently, these posts look exactly like the one you've made.
In fact, until you responded to this thread, I think most of us assumed you were a SPAM-bot. I know I did.
If you wanted post about this book, which is not an unworthy post, you should find more links about the book and the author and probably not link the site where you can buy the book.
In my opinion.
We now return to either the pile on or the deletion.

Larry -
Try reading the FAQ. This appears, to long time Metafilterers, to be blatant promotion, possibly for pay, since the content is so thin.
Therefore, everyone is piling on you because this post is not up to community standards. This post will most likely be deleted, and, if the moderators think that this is a shill or self-link on your part, you will be out $5 and be banned.
That is all.

I hear that Destructively Delicious is a literal description. If they don't eat, e.g. broccoli, you chop off a finger and they can eat it however they like.
Also "Destructively Delicious" is an anagram for NAMBLA. Weird but true.
