| As can be seen in the video for the book in my banner, the Oregon State library system was petitioned to remove MEXICAN SLANG 101 from the collection because "all it does it teach kids how to ask for various sex acts"
The review board voted to keep it in. |

| That is good news. Did the notoriety sell any books?  Couldn't have hurt! |

| No, but I did get a lot of kids asking ME for sex acts in Spanish. |

| BTW I asked a guy once if there was such a thing as "Mexican style sex" and he told me there is: you get drunk and pass out and a guy named Sancho comes in and does it for you. |

| Passive or passed out? But one individual must be conscious and able to move! Either way, I doubt that the outcome is good. |

| Zada, as I look at the PW story, I wonder how much national spot TV advertising might fall victim to the overly vague law since, as they say, "sex sells."
Lin, I'm tempted to ask "Sancho comes in and does what?" Naah, I don't want to know.
