The Overrated Book
This work deals with hip lampoons of the music industry by comedians. Put together by the staff of "Chunklet Magazine", this work is a paragon of satire for the holy cows of underground music and culture. Since the early 90s, "Chunklet" has mercilessly lampooned the music industry and is one of the most beloved reads for the hippest bands and music aficionados. In recent issues, the magazine has featured: an official guide of music not to buy; extensive charts of Pay Not to Play system, offering bands large amounts of money to break up; and Adopt a Gutter Punk program to make the world smell just a tiny bit better. The highly graphic style combines the work of political cartoonist Ted Rall with many talented young artists from the Cartoon network. Included are the musings of: David Cross ("MR Show", "Arrested Development"), Sarah Silverman ("Saturday Night Live", "School of Rock", "Crank Yankers", "Jesus is Magic"), Patton Oswalt ("King of Queens", "Comedians of Comedy") and Jeanne Garofalo ("Saturday Night Live", Air America Radio), among others.
