Agree 100%, although at least the one set in the laundry room isn't as cringeworthy as the one on the couch. My biggest problem with those videos is that that they reinforce the view that the ONLY reason people read romance is for the sex scenes and to fantasize about hot guys. It's rather insulting to any romance reader as well as to the many wonderful authors that work in this genre. I understand that they were trying to be humorous, but wow, they totally missed the mark for me.

Have you seen the video Sh*t romance readers say? That's one that was just plain funny. I enjoyed it so much that I showed it to my hubs, whereas I would never dream of showing him any of the Harlequin videos.
