Crude, Rude, and Stupid

Book excerpt: From the moron screaming into his cell phone, to the moron texting while she's driving, to the moron unconscious ahead of you at the stoplight, to the moron obsessing over his menu selection ahead of you in line, to the moron ahead of you at the checkout counter who leaves to retrieve a forgotten item, to the moronic automated customer helpline, and on and on, this book is an account of the massive quantity of Crudeness, Rudeness, and Stupidity released into our environment and the Aversive Life Forms responsible. It is not for the faint-hearted. Rounding out the presentation is a discussion of some less disturbing, but occasionally annoying, elements encountered in our modern modes of communication, including of course the Internet-and a certain icon in the shape of a thumb. This book should resonate powerfully with any reader who can fog a mirror. You have been warned.
