Book Reviews of Our Dumb Century: The Onion Presents 100 Years of Headlines from America's Finest News Source
Book Review: Funniest thing I have ever read
Summary: 5 Stars
This book provides HOURS of entertainment. The page with the huge headline "MAN LANDS ON F%@!ING MOON" and accompanying transcript of the conversation between the lunar lander and ground control ["Lander: Holy Sh#t! I'm on the f#$%ing MOON!" Houston: "Holy S#@T!"] alone is worth the price of the book. But there are countless smaller nuggets, such as a small entry in one of the pages from the early 1900s: "German Philosopher Posits Possible Existence of 'Supermodels'".
Without a doubt the funniest book I have ever read.
