There is also the sport of sporking: doing a line-by-line critique of writing so bad that after you read it you wished you had first removed your eyeballs with a spork. Kind of like what some of us do to covers here. Al least those who have not joined the PosRein refoem movement.
I wonder if Dork, Dying Spork, knows Mork from Ork?

Who would have a chest tattoo of a dragon sniffing his armpit? Jeez, if he put his arm down, its head would be buried out of sight. Bottom line: that cover does not make me want to buy or read this book.
PosRein: the model’s armpits are more presentable than the First Lady’s. (Following the advice of Bert the Turtle I will now Duck and Cover.)

Yup, if I wanted to look like a tough badass dude, those are EXACTLY the tattoos I’d have as well…

Hey kids! Don’t waste your time on Cracker Jack temporary tattoos anymore. They’ve been replaced by Photoshop tattoos!
Photoshop nothing – at least it would’ve looked more realistic, then. Someone only has a copy of Illustrator, and it shows.
PosRe: No photobombing bored wolfies or floating eyeballs, nor any rendered pseudo-humans. (Rendered pseudo-tattoos, on the other hand…)
I think this would be so much better if the title was actually “Dork,” which is what I see both text-wise and model+Paint Shop.
The significance of the subtitle – Dying Spork, remains unclear to me.
Isn’t a spork one of those plastic fork-spoon combos so beloved at fast food joints? You know, spoon + fork = spork!
Yeah, gag me with a spork. Puh-leeze.
