I Am Not A Pornographer

Are you ready for a Nerdy Valentines Day? http://bit.ly/WekHqK
UPDATE: The Depew School Board voted unanimously to keep "Looking for Alaska" in the curriculum; more than 99% of parents allowed their kids to read the book, and it was taught without incident or complaint. Huzzah!

In which John argues that his novel "Looking for Alaska" is not pornographic and should not be removed from the curriculum at Depew High School.

And the brilliant thing about this video is that, if the kids need to write a report on this book, they can cite this video as a reference for the relevancy and purpose of the scene that has caused the controversy

[SomarMan]

i wish i got to study one of johns books in school! then watch vlogbrothers videos all day could arguably be considered studying!

[LastPlum]

This in my opinion is one of John's funniest, most entertaining, well thought out witty videos. There is a new thing to notice and laugh about to myself every time I come back to this vlog. They are so clever... *clapping applause*

A sexual encounter existing mainly for the purpose of amazing storytelling: UNACCEPTABLE!! A trilogy of eroticas that your mom probably has a copy of under her bead: A-Okay!

[Centaurain]

Whenever I'm on the bus, someone sits next to be while I'm on the one page in the entire book that involves sex, then convince themselves that I read porn:(

[sooperdud]

When I become an English (or English lit) teacher, I will have my students read and study this book one way or another.

[OlafurNeal]

Now I want to go read this book.

[ILIKESKITTLZ]

I'm almost done with looking for alaska and it is my new favorite book so far ever except catching fire sorry

[Jonafridge]

How naive are these parents? Do they seriously think their children in 11th grade haven't looked actually pornography on the Internet? Seriously?

[UglyBetty70]

Old movie but this reminds me like you said of the whole Huckleberry Finn/To Kill a Mockingbird ban and it bugs me that some people still don't learn .

I just found out that Looking for Alaska was (tied for) number 7 on the "Most Challenged Book List of 2012"! AHHHHH! STUPID PEOPLE!  I think it should be a rule that anyone who tries to ban LfA has to watch this video. I also think that books shouldn't be banned...but....that's the world for you.
