Joan Rivers compares Costco to Nazi Germany

Police were called to a Costco store in Burbank, California yesterday when comedian and actress Joan Rivers handcuffed herself to a customer’s shopping cart and loudly protested against the chain. Why is she protesting? Because the store is refusing to sell her new book – I Hate Everything… Starting With Me. Apparently Costco banned the book due to a few inappropriate jokes on the back cover. While handcuffing herself to the shopping cart, Rivers was yelling through a megaphone telling people to buy her book and saying, “Costco should not be like Nazi Germany, next thing they’ll be burning the Bible!” A store manager was obviously displeased with her behavior, repeatedly asking her to leave, later calling the police, while she replied, “I know you’re trying to throw me out of your store but this is bigger than both of us.” Customers seemed thoroughly entertained by the scene and even the police officials couldn’t help but laugh. Good marketing stunt Miss Rivers! ~Stacy Raivich
