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! 

[Caroline Brunner]

I could understand the parents motive if the children were like 7th graders or something, but if you're in highschool, the parents need to back off. Seeing how I just finished my 11th year, i find it pretty ridiculous and somewhat insulting that someone thinks I'm to emotionally or hormonally unstable to deeply think. the nerve of some people, John.

This is awesome! Wish my school taught your books! Would be the best English class ever!

[Patrick Shelly]

OH MY GOD! My parents live in Depew!!!!

[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?
