Thom Yorke is many things to many people, a musical genius, a sour puss, “the greatest vocalist on the planet”, a political activist – but did you know that to many of the Middle East he is the posterboy of relationship advice?

No need to re-read that, as Buzzfeed (via Consequence Of Sound) report, Yorke’s oh-so serious mug is in fact the face of a book entitled, Marital and Sexual Problems in Men – ridiculous, we know.

Yorke appears on the cover of the book alongside two other men deep in thought, the text said to be a few years old, however this the very first time the hilarious tome has appeared on our radar. The book is available for purchase here, fetching for around 20,000 Iranian rials, which is approximately $0.90, not too bad for some tips from the Radiohead frontman, right?

Buzzfeed allegedly reached-out to Radiohead’s publicist for comments however they’ve unfortunately (and unsurprisingly) heard nothing back. We think Yorke may let his Iranian fame slide, we’re sure he’s got bigger fish to fry, like getting to work on that highly anticipated Radiohead record.

This may seem bizarre as hell at first, but celebrity’s images are of course stolen all the time without their consent to promote anything from a dentist clinic, to a hairdresser, fashion boutiques – and apparently, even a male’s relationship advice text. Major lols.
