unplugged raucous snorting laughter

Don't get too serious, and you'll find a damned funny book. Pooh in leather - so hardcore silly. Eeyore as the depressive we've always known he is. S & M in the Hundred Acre Wood.

So funny, I nearly poohed in my pants!

This book is plain funny. It's a brilliant satire of the Winnie the Pooh series. I am an artist, attend many gallery showings, regularly enjoy art books, but I also have a sense of humor. If you're a human being enjoying the full range of your emotions, you will enjoy this. If you have read other Karen Finley books, don't expect a serious commentary on art theory... and that's a good thing. She shouldn't be expected to be serious/detached/humorless all the time, and neither should we. Pay attention to the warning sticker on the cover, don't open the book expecting intellectualism or deconstructing of any kind. It's just supposed to make you laugh. If this seems troubling, it might be helpful to lock yourself in your bedroom, where none of your art school friends can see you and see how low-brow you can go.
