PoMo Infotainment
Earlier today I was browsing through the Barnes&Noble near Federal Triangle, when I ran across Michelle Malkin's latest screed "Unhinged." Which gave me an idea.
Often, when the nuttier books come out, and by definition Malkin's books define the word "nutty", you can find some amusing reviews on Amazon.
Apparently, one Noel Hurley has been writing a string of infotaining reviews, that you can find here. I recommend it highly. If you don't laugh outright at least once, I promise you a hogshead of cheezy poofs, a weekend vacation in Coventry, and your own personal Toad Elevating Moment.
It's in the best tradition of post-modernism, using the medium to satirize the foundation of that same medium, in this case, the business of selling things on Amazon.
Now go enjoy.
