Imagine you are book hunting and pick up a book to find that the author's signature is in the front cover. "OMG!" you exclaim. This must be some mistake. How could I be so lucky as to have found a signed copy for dirt cheap?
That would be my doing.
While working at the comic book store today, I reached into the 10 cent comic boxes and grabbed a few of the shittiest issues I could find and signed them with a Sharpie. I put the writers name in as if it was a signed copy and placed it back in the box. The damage done was minimal and may even give someone a rush of excitement that they would never have achieved had I not done this.
Was it wrong of me to deface these books? Maybe. But that was my task and I thought doing about .30 worth of damage was better than defacing hardbacks at the local Borders.
I hope these don't end up on ebay or I will feel bad.
That is all,
Newt

3 Ripples in the pond:
They will end up on eBay. You can depend on it. Then someone will start a malicious rumour that they were not in fact signed by the author, and are worthless. I hope you will take responsibility for the spate of suicides that follows.
Not that I’m trying to make you feel guilty.
Hopefully you will make someone very happy!
Simon - Don't make me feel bad about defacing comics. I already feel bad enought.
S&C - I hate the fact that I was a party in fraud. Especially comic book fraud.
