In December 2016 Yiannopoulos announced a significant advance of $250,000 from book publisher Simon & Schuster to publish his book 'Dangerous', an event that drove progressives crazy. The title rose to the top spot on Amazon, based solely on pre-orders.
Shortly after the announcement came from CPAC Monday, Simon & Schuster announced that it cancelled Milo Yiannopoulos's book deal. The statement from the publisher was short.
“After careful consideration, Simon & Schuster and its Threshold Editions imprint have cancelled publication of ‘Dangerous’ by Milo Yiannopoulos.”
Threshold publishes several other conservative authors including Glen Beck, an upcoming biography of New Jersey governor Chris Christie, and Oliver North spy novels. Over 100 other Simon & Schuster authors had signed a complaint about publishing "Dangerous".

Troll King In-Chief
Yiannopoulos was banned from Twitter in July 2016 after stirring up major hate and online harassment of Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones.
Many groups have felt the sting of Milo Yiannopoulos' words. He has been widely criticized for comments made about transgender people, Muslims, Black Lives Matter activists, gay people -- even though he is openly gay -- and feminists.
Milo hates feminists, writing Breitbart columns with titles like "Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy" or "Would You Rather Your Child Had Feminism or Cancer?"
When presidential candidate Hillary Clinton read those headlines out disdainfully at one of her rallies last year, he considered it a win, writes BBC News.
"Little did I realise when I coined the #FeminismIsCancer hashtag that it would end up in the mouth of the Democratic nominee for President," he wrote on Breitbart.com.
Until today, Milo's bad boy, trolling behavior had paid off. He treated his life like Gamergate, where he rose to prominence trying to run females out of the gaming industry.

The Washingtonian wrote late Monday afternoon, backed up by Fox News and now the Washington Post, that "at least a half-dozen" employees are prepared to leave the company if Milo Yiannopoulos is not promptly fired.
“The fact of the matter is that there’s been so many things that have been objectionable about Milo over the last couple of years, quite frankly. This is something far more sinister,” the senior editor says. “If the company isn’t willing to act, there are at least half a dozen people who are willing to walk out over it.”
“Talking abut young boys and somehow seeking to ameliorate concerns over young boys’ relationships with older men…I’m pretty sure everyone in the company would vomit upon hearing these words,” the source continues. “What right-thinking person doesn’t feel sick to their stomach when hearing something like that?”
