TASCHEN headquarters at 6671 Sunset Blvd., Hollywood

Nudists and Christians clash on famed boulevard
Riot
Offended Jaybird veterans recently stormed the TASCHEN head-
quarters on Sunset Boulevard protesting the publication of TASCHEN’s
bargain-priced LUTHER BIBLE. Coinciding with the release of their
new TASCHEN book, NAKED AS A JAYBIRD, agitated nudist leader
Mr. Edvin (“Ed”) Paas verbally attacked Lutheran elder Reverend
on
Beaver:
“We will not tolerate this unbalanced situation. There is no way our book can
compete with our Christian brethren’s manuscript. Give us more color, more pages
and a more competitive price.”
Gathering at the rear entrance of Musso & Frank restaurant on Hollywood
Sunset !
Boulevard, where the joyous Lutherans were celebrating their publication victory,
the naked protesters verbally clashed
with the Lutheran congregation
claiming unfair price dumping.
The wild-eyed naked Jaybird leader,
proudly displaying his vintage
’70s “Jaybird seeks Jaygirl” placard,
was heard screaming: “It’s all that bastard Taschen’s fault, let’s go get him!”
“Wait a minute,” the Reverend replied, “We love our publication … but I agree, that porno-pushing publisher
needs a lesson. Let’s go kick his ass!”
The naked protesters and the Protestants marched hand-in-hand to the Crossroads of the World where
they staged their protest at the TASCHEN offices. An instant traffic jam ensued on the famous boulevard.
Publisher Benedikt Taschen, warned of their approach by his sidekick Faulpelz, calmly observed the mob
from his second-story office. Responding to their protests, Mr. Taschen invited the leaders of the heated
parties up for coffee. The publisher offered them a deal they couldn’t refuse. “Qualified customers in
the Bay Area and the Bible Belt will receive both titles for the price of one. I hope that this will encourage
and promote a better understanding of your ideals.” And with a wink and a smile, Mr. Taschen declared,
“That took 20 minutes. Everything is possible if you just got a certain amount of charm. Pussy, Protestants
and Picasso—TASCHEN loves them all.”
