Customer Reviews

Hillarious!

The idea for this book is simple but hillarious. The book contains 20 or 30 "postcards" (which you can leave in the book or tear out and send to people) with very cute pictures of baby animals and a "bad news" caption at the bottom, such as the example given on the front of the book. The combination of pictures of kittens and bunnys with things like "The Donor Backed Out", "Your Babies Ugly" and "It's Malignant" really are a hillarious contrast. Great to look through when you need a laugh.

Laugh guiltily -- out loud

I read through this "book" of postcards in a bookstore and before I got ten pages into it I was ready to fall down from laughing. The text contrasts with the images so incredibly hard that you will find yourself repeating, "Sick... Sick... Sick..." I DARE anyone to read through it and NOT laugh out loud until they cried. For around ten bucks, this would be a great addition to any office cubicle (provided your coworkers can handle hysterical but less-than-PC subject matter).

Fantastic gift for real friends

Seriously, this is a perfect gift for friends. I am buying them for all my friends for the holidays. It's also a perfect book to have on the coffee table. Nothing's better for awkward silences then to have a book that has little puppies with a quote "it's not me, it's you." While I might never send these to anyone (and I hope I never have syphillis) it's a fantastic idea and a perfect gift for those who know how to laugh.

Hilarious

This book of postcards has the cutest pictures and when combined with the different bad news like "you're bad in bed," it is so funny. Great gift idea.

Easily the funniest baby animal book ever. Ever.

I picked this book up thinking "Oh, puppy!" Then I read the title. After 3 pages I was laughing so hard I was trying not to snort. Then my husband joined me and similarly lost it. I snorted about half way through the book, causing most of the store to look at me. When asked by said husband how much the book was I replied, "It doesn't matter, whatever it is is worth it." I plan on sending out all these wonderful little post cards, and then buying another book to keep around forever. If you have issues with confrontation, or just really dislike the people you know, this books for you.
