"JonBenet Rides Again" by George Kranz (satirical essay) 10, 9, 9
"JonBenet Rides Again" by George Kranz (5@mail.com). I downloaded this as a long shot. If it was as sordid and illiterate as it sounded, I didn't want to burden my guest reviewers with it; so I reviewed it myself. I expected some sort of leering re-enactment of last year's infamous child molesting and murder in Colorado. Actually, this is a satirical essay - the sort of thing that Dave Barry writes in his humor column, but far short of Dave's quality. The basic premise is that a company has produced a JonBenet look-alike doll for use in rehabilitating pedophiles. Exactly how this would happen, I don't know. Perhaps there's a little guillotine in the little girl's pussy or asshole. Anyway, the "story" focuses on a field test of the doll. This is neither great literature nor really hot sex, but it's also not the garbage that I had anticipated.
