I belong to an audiobook club, where I get one download a month, and I
couldn't find anything to use my latest credit on...until I read the
following review for Stephen Colbert's I Am America (and So Can You!).
"Now, I have to admit that I was a fan of his TV show, but it soon
became apparent after listening to this book that it is not much more
than a 3 hour homophobic diatribe. He starts out by saying that "baby
carrots are trying to turn me gay" which, I also admit, caused me to
chuckle a bit. But this guy is a racist, homophobic Republican who
thinks the world should return to the good old days of the 50s. It's not
1955 anymore...deal with it."
Clearly, this reviewer is *not* a fan of his TV show, because that
would imply they understand satire. That review alone cinched it. Book
selected, and it has been a good selection. Maybe I should base more of
my decisions on people's poor reviews, rather than the positive ones.
Because people are idiots.
