Max Brooks follows up his semi-successful zombie book, The Zombie Survival Guide, with the massive hit, World War Z. Brooks opts for a first person narrative in this book, making the writing much more fluid and natural than the previous book. It is worth mentioning that Max Brooks is son of comedy legend Mel Brooks, the influence can be felt in Max's constant poke at society through ludacris situational comedy. The book sales have been on a steady rise since the film adaptation, made by Brad Pitts film company and staring Pitt, has been closer and closer to release.
I don't know where to start. Ok, lets get the fact that I haven't read the book out of the way. But where do I go from there? Do I talk about this spoiled rich boy getting a book deal because of his last name or do I talk about this dumbass zombie craze?
Can I just say that a zombie outbreak is not a world destroying problem. They move two miles an hour, they're already falling apart and they can't open doors. What's the problem here? Here's how a real zombie apocalypse goes.
" OH NO THERE'S A ZOMBIE!!!! There, I killed it. Now the world isn't going to end."
THAT'S ALL THAT HAS TO HAPPEN!!!!!
And maybe I'm being unfair about how Richie Rich here got a book deal. I'll be honest, his pitch about zombies may have gotten him somewhere because people apparently love hearing about the same bullshit over and over again depending how dumb it is. For example. There is a Chuck Norris fact book.
"He once kicked a horse in the jaw and its ancestors are known as giraffes."
THAT IS A BOOK!.....FILLED WITH THAT BULLSHIT!
And don't get me started on Harry Potter. By the way, male witches aren't wizards or sorcerers, they're called faggots. Hey, I'm a boy in a dress with a wand, with another dude and a girl. I think it may have been about timing, which is why things take off in the first place.
Harry, Hermoine and Ron became popular around the same time as Ash, Brock and Misty, only difference is, THE PUBLIC CHOSE TO KEEP THE GAYER OF THE TWO! How are we the nation freaking out over gays being in the army and the nation that paid over $379,245,610 to see gay as hell Harry Potter 8?
By the way, I can tell you from personal experience, no homo, there have been gays in the military for a long time. I won't discuss if it's a choice or not, but I'm pretty sure in a macho, testosterone filled environment like basic training you'd try to hide it. Some cats seem incapable of that. Just saying. One "eww" away from doing sit ups into someones butt...on purpose.
LEMME BREAK IT DOWN FOR YOU! Magic is lame, little Japanese monsters being carried around in balls in your pocket is awesome.
If it's not, its cooler than that Muslim Jihad shit that wizards yell to make apples disappear or whatever the fuck magic is actually used for. And why are they not looked at as the enemy for that? Imagine THAT headline: "Harry potter arrested for initial 9/11 corroboration/conspiracy".
Yo aycock, I'm working your section AND mine. I'd ask for double pay but....I'm almost on another tangent. ...whatever happened to genies? That's the closest thing I need to magic. Not some boy mumbling dumb shit. ...I digress( and vampires, don't even get me started). I've learned that America, and honestly, the world as a whole has a taste for the bottom....which is why my articles are acceptable.
If it weren't for bad taste, we'd have no taste at all.
World War Z may not be that bad....maybe it is, I don't know. Doesn't peak my interest but apparently the world likes dumb shit. However, if its dumb on a genius level, Snakes On a Plane, no appreciation. .... I can go on forever. Read it, don't read it, I gives a fuck. Point is, max brooks is a guy working his hustle and I'd do the same, dammit. I'm done.
...got me up here summarizing and suggesting books like I'm Levar Burton or some shit. Wrong black guy, asshole.
5000.
