My dad always refused to buy us the Guinness book of records because he hated the politics of the McWherters. I don't know if they're still involved in it but I refuse to buy it for my grandkids for the same reason.
Their former work remains in several old records, so it's understandable why he'd keep boycotting them out of ethical principle (and now guess I'll have to do it too)
politics aside, that you can (or have to) pay to get into the book (and pretty much can make up a world record nowadays) means Ripley's 'Believe it or not' is a more entertaining purchase ~ Someone in hotpants apparently belonged in it, according to the B-52's.
