Jennifer Weiner, NYT best selling author

e.e. cummings, poet

Phillip K. Dick, British Sci Fi writer

Andrew Cockburn, foreign affairs writer

There are authors with names Dickenson, Haycock, Wank, Butts, Balls, the list goes on.

Google "Scunthorpe problem" - internet problems encountered with dirty sounding last names.

These ignorant cockholes have their work cut out for them. I'd change my last name to Asseater if I thought it'd give a few of them heart attacks.
