New Kobe Bryant book -- WTF?!

    I just ran across this on the newswire. I don't know a thing about this book, never heard of it. If anyone else knows anything about this book, it's contents, its veracity, etc., please share it with us. Apparently it's an international publisher, which explains it's under-the-radar status here in the USA. This link is from a press release by the publisher:

    http://www.kobe-rape.com/

    I have no idea what conclusions the book reaches, I just wanted to put the link on here and if someone knows more they could save the rest of us some time. My first read on it is that it seems like some pumped-up hack stuff, but I don't know.

    Thoughts?

    I'm guessing that if this were a legitimately good book, it would not use the Web address www.kobe-rape.com.

    Yeah, that does seem to be quite the tip-off. I have hardly looked at the site, but there are already some large red flags jumping out. One is the flat declaration that Kobe did rape the alleged victim. Maybe an internationally published book can avoid the potential lawsuits that a domestically-published tome would incur? I honestly don't know if that would spare the book potential slander lawsuits, etc.

    I'll be ecstatic if the real details of the rape case get out... You'll never be able to look at Kobe the same way ever again...

    A book about Kobe called "WTF"? Must be written by his wife.

    Maybe he'll use the O.J. model: If I had raped her, here's how it would have been done.

    It's funny how EVERYONE is just assuming that Kobe raped her without knowing any facts. Defend the person who had 3 different semens on her panties(none of them were Kobe's).
