"We should start our own religion..."
... One simple sentence, one really bad idea. But to chronic underachievers Danny Welles and Walter James, starting a new religion sounded like the best idea either of them had ever had. Probably because they were drunk at the time. But those six little words would inspire them to write their own dogma, ensnare a gullible Hollywood star to be their spokesman, hijack the nation’s highest-rated TV talk show and create the Church of OK, a new religion based on “positivity and permissiveness” that would fuel a media firestorm rocketing them to fame – and infamy.
Holy Crap is a funny, satirical look at our modern culture, following its characters as they find themselves taking on religion, Hollywood, television, the tabloids and each other with the goal to enrich lives – as well as their own bank accounts. It’s a journey filled with religious zealots, 7-Eleven hot dogs, Caddyshack as a Christian allegory, Kama Sutra with cats, trend-hungry movie stars, a certain amount of substance abuse, and heartfelt sex on playground equipment.
If you read only one book this year, it should be this one.
Wait. Let's think about that a sec - one book? All year? Actually, you should be kind of ashamed. Turn off the freakin' TV and make an effort, willya? Oh, and celebrity diet books don't count, alright? No, not magazines, either. I'm talking real books.
Like, uh, this one. You should read this one.
There's sex stuff in it, if that helps.
