Legendary comedian and talk show host Joan Rivers stood outside of the Costco in Los Angeles boycotting the supermarket chain for refusing to sell her new book. Costco chose not to sell Rivers’ book, I Hate Everyone…Starting With Me, because of a swear word printed on the outside jacket.

Rivers went to Costco with a megaphone and her own film crew, and decided to sell her books.

“I am the Rosa Parks of white people” she shouted into her microphone in between comparing the superstore to Nazi Germany and claiming to be the Anne Frank of Beverly Hills.

The Anti-Defamation League has asked her to retract her her Holocaust statements but some of her other statements are going unnoticed.
