One Nation, Extra Cheese: Your Guide to the Bestest Country Ever

A short, generally amusing, easy reading book making fun of America in a style similar to The Onion. It knocks us down for our excesses and cracks wise about our collective ignorance. This is an excellent guide for literate foreign visitors--it should be especially funny to them.

Another (almost) winner from the folks at Modern Humorist. A very comprehensive guide to the bestest nation on earth and when you get to the last page to read `By the time you finish reading this page, 3.000 Americans will take a bullet, three million will super-size their Happy Meals and three will pass a geography test. Still, this nation is the envy of the world, except in Sweden, where government subsidies ensure all citizens have equal access to health care and erotica', perhaps you should book your ticket to Stockholm.Scattered through the pages are Travel Tips or Fun Facts side-panels, spoof covers of books, magazines, greeting cards and dozens of really slick illustrations. These neat drawings are unfortunately wasted because of the really poor paper the book is printed on. This was a real disappointment to me, with better paper the excellent graphics would have made the book complete. The MH earlier book `Rough Draft', in color and on glossy paper was stunning, this latest offering, good as it is, doesn't quite make it though. Sorry guys.

In many ways this book is a comical love letter to America with all of her contradictions, squabbling citizens, trashy pleasures and, yes, majestic Starbucks on every corner. Though full of scathing gags on political and social issues (guns, religion, fast food), you get the sense that the writers wouldn't want America any other way. (A suggestion for the sequel: more Rainbow Head!) The narrator of the book addresses readers from foreign lands, but the jokes and insights are meant to bring a smile to true blue Americans.

This book is a hidden cave of spectacular bounty.The artwork is similar to those in-flight safety brochures you see in airplanes, except instead of pictures of people properly attaching life-vests to their bodies to prevent drowning, there are pictures of businessmen with exposed genitalia, children rollerskating into brick walls, and explanations of the different types of Hooters waitresses.Overall, this book is well-written and amazingly graphixized -- it's definitely the best of Modern Humorist's Laff trilogy and worth checking out. There are samples of the book at ... Just check out their "Foreigner's Guide To America" stuff.This is an excellent book. If you don't believe me, would you consider taking this outside? My fists need a punching bag, and I love settling differences in book opinions with bloody fights.All the best!

Another funny book from the "My First Presidency" people, this is a skewed guide to life in America. The highlights are the "Dating and Sex" and "Cuisine" sections, but the drawings are hilarious throughout. The illustrations about college drinking would have had milk shooting out of my nose, were I drinking milk at the time.
