Street Boners: 1,764 Hipster Fashion Jokes [Paperback]

Gavin McInnes (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 27, 2010

Fifteen years after founding Vice, Gavin McInnes has poured his creative juices into a new endeavor: StreetCarnage.com. Growing in size and influence at an alarming rate, the site's main feature is the new and improved version of Gavin's "DOs and DON'Ts," now tantalizingly called Street Boners.

These Boners have been polished and compounded into a book that takes the best of the site and adds hundreds more gems! With 1,312 photos, hilarious captions, and a harsh new rating system-from one to 10 kitten faces-STREET BONERS makes sure no glorious fashion statement goes unnoticed. Innocent citizens are either damned to hell or relentlessly exalted into heaven. Chloe Sevigny, Debbie Harry, Fred Armisen, and Tim & Eric also contribute their scathing wit to the book, and the end result is a New York fashion bible no bathroom should be without.

4.0 out of 5 stars MaryinHB [...] May 22, 2010

By Mary Bookhounds VINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback

This book was such a hit with my son and all of his friends. They are all in their early twenties, but I enjoyed it just as much. I now regularly visit the author's site for daily updates--there are actually some great posts there as well. Since the religion in this household is pretty much sarcasm, it is making a great addition to my son's bathroom humor collection. It is not a book to be taken seriously, so relax and page through this one.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as Do's & Don't's October 7, 2012

Maybe my standards are too high but this didn't hold up to the Does and Don't book.

There wer some funny comments but most we just "meh" observations on "med" pictures.

A little editing down of material would have made this better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny Stuff. December 1, 2010

This is a funny book featuring pictures of random people and their style of dress/living. It's a cool bathroom or coffee table book but has some 18+ photographs. (One of them being my favorite (: ) that may not be suitable for young children. There some cursing in the book as well. It was made from the guys who bring you Vice Magazine I believe. Great book and pretty cheap too. If you are into fashion or just into laughing at the expense of others, get this book.
