So... uh... to borrow a word from my bestselling book: What the fuck?

My book Calm The F*ck Down came out in 2015 (based on a post I published right here on Tumblr). This other book comes out this year. And the description of this new one sounds a lot like mine.

To be clear: There are other books that share the same (or similar) title as mine, but they're not humorous partially-autobiographical parenting books. I don't think this book plagiarizes mine — man, I hope it doesn't — but, the similarities test the bounds of coincidence.

I mean, sure, everything's derivative of something else. Hell, they pitched the idea for the movie Alien as “Jaws in space.” But, at least they changed the setting and the monster.

An Amazon reviewer said this about my book Calm The F*ck Down: “pretentious author talks about himself for a while…”

Man, she’s gonna fucking HATE the audiobook version that’s read by me and now available on Amazon and Audible.

Sie heißt „MEML“: Diese Erziehungsmethode könnte die beste der Welt sein

Was bekommen Eltern nicht alles für Ratschläge! Lies das Buch, hast du schon von DER Erziehungsmethode gehört? Was hältst du von dem und dem Experten?

Can any of you read German? This looks like a review of my book Calm The F*ck Down, the German version of which is called Stay Calm, Baby or something because I guess Germans don’t like the word fuck? But Google Translate makes it read like it was written by an epileptic chimp.

Non sapete che consiglio seguire? A volte vi sembra di essere inadeguati? Tutto è difficile? Il papà blogger David Vienna, considerato il papà più simpatico del mondo, si è attivato per creare un metodo ironico-pratico per far fronte alle difficoltà dell'essere genitori. I consigli sono stati racconti in un libro: “Tuo figlio ti fa impazzire? Calmati, ca**o! Metodo per genitori zen”, Macro edizioni.

This site pulled parenting tips from the Italian translation of my book Calm The F*ck Down. So in Italy, I'm a parenting expert. In America, though, I'm just three chimpanzees in a trench coat.

Looks like my CTFD Method translates to USZV Metoda in Slovenian.

Hungarian parents can now learn how to calm the fuck down just like Czech and German parents. Counting English, that makes four languages in which you can find my book, Calm The F*ck Down.

I hope there’ll be a Klingon translation.

My favorite parenting trend in recent years is the CTFD Method, invented by mad scientist/dad David Vienna. The theory behind this intricate and methodical child rearing tactic is this: Calm The F#ck Down. And it’s a practice that applies not only to your underachieving brats but also to your sucky NFL team too.
