Of Thee I Zing
Book (italiano):
<B><I>My culture is depraved, Not sure it can be saved . . . Of Thee I Zing. Land filled with STDs, Pants way down to the knees, Nary a “thanks” or “please” This is going to sting. . . . </I></B><P>While Laura Ingraham was walking through a Northern Virginia shopping mall one Saturday afternoon, it all became clear to her: Our country is in grave peril. Our culture of ignorance, arrogance, and gluttony undermines our present and endangers our future. Everywhere she turned, she saw signs of the impending disaster: zombie teens texting each other across a café table; a man having his eyebrows threaded at a kiosk; a fiftyish woman shoehorned into a tube top and skinny jeans; and a storefront ad featuring a Victoria's Secret model spilling out of her push-up bra and into the faces of young passersby. Ingraham wondered, “Is this it? Is this what our forefathers fought for? What my parents struggled for? I wonder if Victoria's Secret is still having that two-for-one sale?” <P>In an act of patriotic intervention, the most-listened-to woman in talk radio casts her satirical eye upon all that ails American society. In this sharp-witted comic romp, Laura Ingraham takes you on a guided tour through ten levels of our cultural hell. <P><B><I>You know we're in trouble when . . . </I></B><P>Airplane seats shrink—just as the passengers expand. <P>Celebrity baby names go from the peculiar (Apple, Stetson, and Daisy Boo) to the pathetic (Bamboo, Blanket, and Bronx). <P> People meticulously tend their virtual crops on Farmville, while their children eat takeout. <P>“Breaking News” usually means it happened yesterday. <P>The weddings last longer than the marriages. <P> Facebook has become a verb and reading has become an ancient art form. <P> <B><I>Of Thee I Zing </I>is cultural commentary too funny to ignore, igniting a national conversation long past due. America, your cultural recovery begins here.</B>
