Based on two runaway U.K. bestsellers, this encyclopedic attack on modern culture is so hilariously bitter that it actually becomes uplifting. The American edition has been ingeniously adapted and features exclusive new material for U.S. audiences.
If you hate: loft living; bar-clubs; Tony Blair; chick lit; global warming sceptics; Keane; loyalty cards; IKEA; Kabbalah; bling and Richard Curtis... ... then you need IS IT JUST ME OR IS EVERYTHING SHIT? - an encylopedic attack on modern culture and the standard reference work for everyone who believes everything is shit. Which it is. This book is for the large percentage of the population interested in saying NO to the phoney ideas, cretinous people, useless products and doublespeak that increasingly dominate our lives. This book is designed for everyone who thinks they may have mislaid their soul in a Coffee Republic. Never before has there been a book so completely full of shit. This very funny, well-informed, belligerent rant of a book adds up to an excoriating broadside against consumer capitalism that the authors hope will sell loads of copies.
Wenn auch Sie das Guinness-Buch der Rekorde, Kunden-Treuekarten, Flughafen-Parkplätze, Che-Guevara-Merchandising-Artikel und die Lautstärke von Fernsehwerbung unerträglich finden, dann sind Sie hier genau richtig. Endlich sagt mal einer, was in unserem so genannten „zivilisierten“ modernen Leben einfach nicht mehr auszuhalten ist. Das Standardwerk für alle, die glauben, dass alles scheiße ist. Denn sie haben Recht.
