That's because we don't eat enough of it and we throw most of it away. So the candy corn company sends out their representatives in early November to gather up all the discarded candy corn from the Dumpsters and bring it back to their factory, where they simply wash it off and bag it up again. A year later the same candy corn is on every coffee table in America." "If religion is the opiate of the people, how come so many Jews seem more neurotic than sedated?" "in short there are still plenty of places in this country where, in bar after bar on Saturday night, somebody will eventually stand up and say; "If a faggot came i here I'd kick his ass!" And this is what makes gays so cagey. most of them are too smart to hear that and respond, "Here I am, you savage!" And so it goes.....I liked the part about taking responsibility for our children & their actions.... There was a few stories about his family..... I love his intelligence, wit, humor & stories. I had a problem with some of the places he decided to use profanity, it seemed "put-on", but aside from that I enjoyed this book. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Comedian Lewis Black unleashes his trademark subversive wit while recounting his own life story in his New York Times bestselling memoir. You've seen him on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart offering up his trademark angry observational humor on everything from politics to pop culture. You've seen his energetic stand-up performances on HBO, Comedy Central, and in venues across the globe. Now, for the first time, Lewis Black translates his volcanic eruptions into book form in Nothing's Sacred, a collection of rants against stupidity and authority, which oftentimes go hand in hand. With subversive wit and intellectual honesty, Lewis examines the events of his life that shaped his antiauthoritarian point of view and developed his comedic perspective. Growing up in 1950s suburbia when father knew best and there was a sitcom to prove it, he began to regard authority with a jaundiced eye at an early age. And as that sentiment grew stronger with each passing year, so did his ability to hone in on the absurd. True to form, he puts common sense above ideology and distills hilarious, biting commentary on all things politically and culturally relevant. "No one is safe from Lewis Black's comic missiles." (New York Times) You have been warned.... Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
