It'd be hilarious to do a spoof children's picture book that had a
pedophile male nurse. I've thought for a few years that it would be
funny to do over the top spoofs, have them vanity pressed, then put
them on the shelves in book stores and especially the book
departments of Wal Mart, Target, etc. where they'd more than likely
go unbought, but then they'd end up in a secondary market.
Of course, you'd need to have lots of excess money.

One idea I found especially funny was romance novels that in every
way seemed like the standard fare, but have the sex scenes involve
anal sex. Imagine the titles, *Duked By an Earl*, or *The Viscount's
Shameful Desire*, or *To Please a Greek Prince*, or *To Go Where
the Duchess Would Not*, or *The Rear Admiral Who Loved Me*.

Everything would seem completely standard to the genre until the
point of the sex scene. Then I thought, there'd likely be a small
subset of readers who'd find it appealing, and that was even more
amusing.

The self help book genre could also be spoofed. The book(s)
could give absurd advice for turning around an unsuccessful
life.

Then there's supernatural spoofs. *The Secret Zodiac* could use
real star maps, but made up constellations, and posit that the
persons in power have used this alternative astrology for centuries
to maintain their power and guide the course of human history,
citing bogus claims about the past.

The best one is a book that unifies the mythologies of the Mormons
and the Church of Scientology, where their cosmologies are merely
misunderstood approximations of the one true faith, and in the end
days they will merge, and the second degree chosen ones, the
Jehovah's Witnesses and Seventh Day Adventists, will assume their
rightful place as middle managers in God's new kingdom.
