About this ebook
You may wonder why the Middle East gets so much airtime. Regions of the world were competing to host the apocalypse and the Middle East won.
I disagreed with the idea that reality has become too strange to satirise. Then I read that bin Laden was radicalised by Shakespeare.
Meanwhile, Iraq seems to be invading itself for the oil.
Bringing together the wildly wry observations and sketches of online sensation Karl reMarks, this hilarious collection proudly presents views you’re guaranteed not to hear on the news.
