Books Useless Books I Have Gotten in the Mail, Part 7
Posted by Paul Constant on Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 10:16 AM
Why is it useless? It's a collection of faux-religious art featuring fictitious saints. Maybe this could be amusing in the right hands, but Kanfi's selection of characters (St. Theresa the Tatted, Patron Saint of Body Art; St. Ignatius Infirmus, Patron Saint of Cold and Flu Season; Saint Agatha the Augmented, Our Lady of Botched Boob Jobs) read like lame Garbage Pail Kids rejects.
Could anyone enjoy this book? Maybe religious people? Although it gets a little heavy on the drugs and middle-finger throwing. Maybe un-religious people? It's not funny enough. Anyway, I have 8 words for you: "St. Francis A Sissy, Queen of All Queens." Fuck this book.

Out of curiosity, I had to check the Amazon page for it.
One the one hand, the list price of $9.95 has been marked down to the bargain price of $3.79(!)
On the other, all 3 reviews are positive: "Kanfi took me on a spiritual journey like Ive never been before. His saintly bios made me raise my hands and scream Alleluiah!!", "Very creative and highly recommended...", "I found myself laughing out loud with every page."
Lordy...
