Overview

Want a humorous book to read on that next cross-country flight or bus ride across town? Then buy SEX and the AMERICAN MALE for a funny, satirical look at American Culture. Read this amusing, fast-paced book about a man who looks a little too closely at how advertising, politics, greed and more overwhelm the public and shape our society. From advertisements that use sex to sell massive cars to mindless political parties and juiced-up science fiction conventions no subject is safe from parody and humor in this quick read. Oh, and sorry, there is no SEX in the book. It’s part of the joke. However, if you buy this book, you’ll be able to truthfully tell your friends you enjoyed SEX on your last flight (other quips you’ll have to come up with on your own).

Description

Once upon a time, Zack Hardiman, a typical American male, attempted to find a shirt for jogging that contained absolutely no advertising. This became the first step in his descent into insanity. When he recovered, he slowly began a more extensive trip along the winding road we call American Culture. Although SEX and the AMERICAN MALE is not a fairy tale, it does include a happy ending with a married couple, a white picket fence and 2.5 children. SEX and the AMERICAN MALE is a satirical jab at how advertising, politics, greed and more overwhelm the public and shape our society. This humorous book parodies everything from advertisements that use sex to sell massive gas-guzzling cars to mindless political parties and juiced-up science fiction conventions. When you buy SEX and the AMERICAN MALE not only will you have a funny, quick read for that next cross-country flight, but you’ll also be able to say things like “Why yes, I enjoyed SEX on my last flight” and other quips (you’ll have to come up with those on your own). Oh, and sorry. There is no SEX in SEX and the AMERICAN MALE. It’s just another joke the author uses to test American’s reading and analytical skills. Buy SEX and see if you pass the test. Buy SEX and enjoy it tonight. Buy SEX…well, you get it.
