Once you tackle the Shitsville UK "Naturalisation Test" at the beginning of this chunky illustrated gift book, youre ready to delve into the most satirical, tongue in cheek lampoon of the British culture ever written. Produced by Carpet Bombing Culture, the people behind the bestsellers Banksy - You Are An Acceptable Level of Threat, the Untitled street art series, and the Beauty in Decay series, this insider guidebook takes a page from classic black British comedy. An A-Z of British locales from Aberdeen to
York is paired with photographs, maps, and hilarious captions that spare no town. The unglamorous guide is complemented by back matter that will come in handy for the astute, ironic traveler, such as "Hipster Britannia - Three of the Hippest Spots in the Hippest Nation of all Google Earth,""Ten Charmingly Quaint Facts of British Life,""Island of Perverts: Sexual Etiquette for the Traveler in Britain," and "The Famous British Sense of Humour - How to Join in the Fun with BlackComedy Basics." The result is a never
before seen roast of cm- and begrudging toast to cm- one of the worlds oldest and most absurd countries.

Klappentext zu „Shitsville UK “
Loads of towns and cities are covered in Shitsville UK. So, it's safe to say, there's every probability that somewhere local gets insulted. One thing's for sure, a more sustained attack on our great British culture has yet to been seen in print. It's quite impossible to read it in one sitting, and in truth, sits best by the lavatory, as the name suggests. Perhaps, you will buy the book out of curiosity. Only then, when you learn what bile is heaped upon your own hometown, will you take the book to a charity shop and write a stiff letter to the Telegraph. Is it a travel guide? Is it a joke? While a cloud of smugness large enough to be seen from space has settled across the land in the wake of the Olympics and the Royal Wedding and Boris Johnson's inexplicable ascendancy nobody yet dares to come forth and contradict the mood of jollity - only a fool with no concept of media literacy would dare now suggest that good old Blighty is actually, for the most part even shitter now than itwas in the 1980's. That fool is Monty Cantsin. - Watch with horror as he attacks every sacred cow in the land! - Cringe with embarrassment as he transparently profiteers from scandal! - Laugh your tits off as he mocks your friend's home towns! - Choke on your chocolate milk in rage as he lampoons your own tierra patria! It may be, that some twisted and degenerate people will find it funny. Those that might snigger at a Union Jack being set on fire, perhaps. The rest of us will simply feel a little older and a little sadder.
