Product Description

After three years and more than three thousand fake news stories, the best of CARBOLIC SMOKE BALL comes to book form. All the classic bits you've seen and read and laughed about online, all the headlines and punchlines that made you spit your coffee or your soda (or something a little stronger) all over your computer monitor are now collected in one special edition.

President Bush vowing to get the man responsible for Hurricane Katrina. Dick Cheney surviving an office fire and declaring that only silver bullets can kill him. Osama bin Laden arguing with Ayman Al-Zawahiri about who'll clean their cave. Hillary Clinton hoarding castration devices. Barack Obama healing the crack on the Liberty Bell. Brett Favre pulling up to Packers' training camp in the Popemobile. The Local Man who only feels alive when he wears his collar bomb.

They're all here, with more than 250 hilarious others, reprinted in all their irreverent glory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breaking News: Zombies makes you cry harder (from laughter) than (the) onion, November 23, 2008

By	R. Vassel - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The creators of Carbolic Smoke Ball are the literary equivalent of Stephen Colbert. If you like your news with dollops of satire and gobs of humor, then "Zombies Ate My Headlines" is the book for you. If Albert Camus, Jonathan Swift and the makers of Mad Libs spawned a child... that would be actually quite frightening... but I'm absolutely, positively certain that this "It's Alive"-like offspring would laugh hysterically while reading "Zombies Ate My Headlines". I may be biased because I've been an avid Carbolic Smoke Ball website reader for over a year, so it was a no brainer for me to buy this book... but whether it's your first taste of CSB humor or your 100th, these guys and this book will have you laughing until it hurts.

5.0 out of 5 stars As funny as they come!, November 21, 2008

By	Goaliedad (Mississauga, ON) - See all my reviews

Brilliantly funny news stories from around the world. You'll find page after page of convincing stories and pictures which seem more real than the anything you'll read in the morning paper. The humor is top flight!

5.0 out of 5 stars No Faking It - This Book Is Great Fun!, June 3, 2009

By	Sig Ruman (Los Alamos, NM) - See all my reviews

The Carbolic Smoke Ball Presents: Zombies Ate My Headlines is the funniest, most entertaining book you could ever read. Lead by Rufus Peckham, who must be a former judge at this point (how could the creator of such hilarious satire still be on the bench?), the Carbolic team casts a wide net into the sea of American pop culture and politics. And, like their great website, almost no one, no topic escapes their smart, high-energy lampooning, which is nonstop. This book is a real page-turner if you can take the light-headedness and the pain in your side brought on by all the laughter.
