I see the site is called "moe"tan and has one of those "moe" looking girls.
Is the moe phenominon realtively new? There've been pretty younger girls in Japanese comics/animation for a long while but there seems to be a spike in interest lately like with the moe uploader boards.

This is what I've posted in my site actually, but I'd probably be writing practically the same things over again anyway.
The WORDBOOK you've waited for! A revolution in english studying! 1000 most frequently used words and phrases!
...Or so that's what the back of the book says. I almost actually believed that it was a serious english learning book. I couldn't have been more wrong. The book is practically half a artbook as well, with moe art popping up every few pages. They know their audience well.
In the book we learn great everyday english phrases such as:
"His sisters keep on increasing fast in number"
"My ultimate weapon is the China cannon attached to my groin"
"The boy pilot raised his spirits too much in combat. He became liquid"
"My descendent worried about me. Then he sent me a robot from the future."
"The government concealed the story about a catastrophic disaster in the South Pole."
Almost like an otaku trivia to see how many anime you can identify from reading the phrases... and speaking of which, they translated otaku as "maniac". I like how well that translation fits :P
Also! Taking off the protective cover would reveal a cover that actually looks like a professional english learning book, good to fool the others!

Lots of anime / manga references from the book are highlighted here. Just scroll down the page a bit. Moe-tan must be an anime otaku maniac!

Thanks for the link Holiday. It's fun to see the little references. I'm not so sure this will help you 'GET IN to college!' though.
Love that idea of the "misleading cover" too :). Hopefully I can get this bizarre book for myself sometime.
