Mindsploitation by Vernon Chatman
There are hundreds of online companies that will do your homework for you -- at a price. But will they write ANY essay you request? Only the WORST of these horrible companies were employed in the composition of Mindsploitation. A GREAT DEAL of money was wasted ACROSS THE GLOBE to commission what may be the dumbest collection of ridiculous assignments in HUMAN HISTORY. What does it say about our society that we can buy a quick custom eulogy for our grandmother, or pay to have a love poem for a mistress prepared by a stranger at the click of a button? How entitled is a culture that keeps these services afloat? Mindsploitation uses such questions as a launching pad for wildly entertaining comedic exchanges. The 50 assignments in this book hilariously explore self-help, spirituality, family, health, diet, pop culture, love, and more.
"Extremely high in comedy densityA stunning tour through Marx's alienation of labor. Very funny, totally insane and weirdly poignant." --MATT STONE (South Park) "Vernon Chatman's prank-by-mail experiment is not only ferociously funny and subversive, it also has inspired me to farm all future blurbs to an Indonesian blurb writing service. ALL PAGES OF BOOK ENJOYABLE! ALL MUST CONSUME THIS BOOK!" --JOHN HODGMAN (Daily Show, That Is All) "I've been trying to figure out a way to compare Vernon's work with others to give some perspective on this hilarious book, but I just can't -- he's that original. All I can honestly say is Vernon Chatman is one of the funniest guys working in comedy today." --BILL HADER (SNL)
