The authors take aim at a host of contemporary piss-me-offs with hilarious results in this A to Z guide to annoyances large and small. From the opening volley lambasting abstinence programs and the ludicrous adventure expeditions of the privileged, but brain dead rich to easier to drink “Bio-hydrated” water, this is a no holds barred, irreverent look at today’s icons.
Networking for instance is seen as “The dark art of pretending to like people in order to advance one’s own self--even though that self has precisely nothing to offer the world barring an extraordinary aptitude for self-advancement.” Several references are made to Britney Spears, the Iraq war, new technologies and the ultraconservative right, all are amusing. Uberfun (be sure to look it up) and farcical, this is a totally non-PC look at everyday life…speaking of which, why isn’t politically correct included?
