Studio City author Francesca Lia Block has hit a small PR jackpot. Some overheated Christians in West Bend, Wisconsin want to publicly burn her novel "Baby Be-Bop." They also want $120,000 in damages for being exposed to the book in a library display, complaining the entry in Block's popular young adult Weetzie Bat series is “explicitly vulgar, racial, and anti-Christian.” Block's status at Facebook today reads "banned and happy" and she adds: "My goal is to write books that are burned and banned but my real goal is to live in a world where they aren't."
