Ulysses S. McGill had it about right (Cohen Bros., "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"): cons find easy marks when times are tough and everyone's out shaking the bushes.
Also apropos: "No one ever went broke by underestimating the American Public." -- P.T. Barnum.
It's been a while since I've seen such a great, steaming pile of partly-digested crap pushed out there as a "review". Either: the guy is bi-polar; he was getting down to his deadline with nothing; or he was on the downside of a long bender. At least Hunter Thompson was entertaining under the same conditions.
What's facinating to me in this case is that although this one is obviously drivel it is in fact just barely askew from the mainstream dreck that people actually subscribe to! Just change a word here and there and you have a line that reads substantially like The Big Boys, who really do "sell", month in and month out, year after year.
I mean, kids, yes, of course, God help them.
But people over 18 don't take this seriously, do they?
