"Genius. A fabulously detailed, surgically accurate and uproariously funny piece of work."
--Armstrong and Miller

Product Description
'London Shite: Quality-Free Journalism' is the perfect book for anyone depressed by the stupidity of the British media. Armed with a satirical rifle and a humorous crossbow, the London Shite team maim and kill the twin beasts of broadsheet nonsense and tabloid toss with merciless precision. Irreverent and topical, London Shite is a witty parody of the media world, with a particular appetite for free newspapers, lifestyle supplements and meaningless advertising. Featured articles include: Simon Schama's Top 3 Throw Ins; Google's new 'Population Clock' - which counts everything on the planet, including the number of births, deaths and people currently wearing a hat; an investigation into just what happened to Africa after we Made Poverty History; and Kim Jong-il's not-at-all-faked holiday snaps from a day out at Pyongyang's premier water park. Like every good newspaper, London Shite is also packed full of adverts from companies such as DoggingDirect.com, the dating website for those who don't want to sit around in freezing car parks waiting for their perfect partner(s) to show up, and the Natural History Museum's brand new exhibition - 'Dinosaurs Do The Funniest Things'.

Really witty journalism,
By
This review is from: London Shite: Quality-Free Journalism (Humour) (Hardcover)
This is a great book full of hilarious social and political satire. My husband and I were laughing out loud when we read it. It's full of the kind of mock headlines and cartoons that you want to tell everyone else about in the pub.

Brilliant take on all the garbage we are served in the various forms of media these days. The funniest book I've read all year!

LAME and TIRESOME- Don't waste your money!,
By
This review is from: London Shite: Quality-Free Journalism (Humour) (Hardcover)
This comic-style book must've been written by someone with about 1 GCSE pass grade (in Media Studies probably) as it's dreadfully predictable, with very lame and outdated jokes which became really, really rather tiresome. The jokes were simply not witty nor clever but attempting to make fun in a very lowly manner with cheap jibes and bady constructed storylines.
Don't waste your money- mine went straight to the charity shop the next morning, where I'm sure it's still sitting.
