Abstract

This book is full of ballsy commentary from internationally acclaimed super-intellectuals on all of the best Onion articles (indexed for your convenience at the back). You could repeat some of these comments as if you’d just thought of them, at a party or something where everyone suddenly runs out of things to say. Actually, it’s not so much that they’ve run out of things to say as that they’re all thinking of telling Tina that she just called Kyle “Carl” by mistake, but they are too embarrassed (why the fuck is this so embarrassing?) and Tina’s too high to care anyways. Oh, and another selling point about this book is that God has personally recommended it. In fact, He has stated that buying this book (and reading it, but the really important part is buying it) is much less likely to send him into a frenzy of genocidal wrath than anything else you might possibly think of doing. Reached at his Malibu pied-à-terre, His Almightiness commented: “This book makes excellent bathroom reading. I should know. Sometimes I’m in there for a long time”
