Summary:
From #1 New York Times bestseller and radio phenomenon Laura Ingraham a sharp-witted, comic romp through the culture and habits of everyday U.S. citizens-now obtainable in paperback.
My culture is certainly depraved, Uncertain it can be kept . Of Thee I Zing. Land filled up with STDs, Slacks way right down to the knees, Nary a “thanks a lot” or “please” That is going to sting. . . .
While Laura Ingraham was jogging through a Northern Virginia retail center one Saturday afternoon, everything became very clear to her: Our about Of Thee I Zing: America’s Cultural Decline from Muffin Tops to Body Shots country is in grave peril. Our culture of ignorance, arrogance, and gluttony undermines our present and endangers our potential. Everywhere she turned, she saw indications of the impending devastation: zombie teenagers texting each other across a café desk; a guy having his eyebrows threaded at a kiosk; a fiftyish woman shoehorned right into a tube top and skinny jeans; and a storefront ad having a Victoria’s Secret model spilling out of her push-up bra and into the encounters of young passersby. Ingraham considered, “Is certainly this it? Is this what our forefathers fought for? What my parents struggled for? I question if Victoria’s Magic formula is still having that two-for-one sale?”
In an act of patriotic intervention, the most-listened-to woman in talk radio casts her satirical eye upon everything ails American society. In this sharp-witted comic romp, Laura Ingraham goes on a led tour through ten levels of our cultural hell.
You understand we’re in big trouble when . . .
Airplane seats shrink-just seeing that the people expand.
Celebrity baby names go from your peculiar (Apple, Stetson, and Daisy Boo) towards the pathetic (Bamboo, Blanket, and Bronx).
People meticulously tend their virtual plants on Farmville, while their children eat takeout.
“Breaking Information” usually means it happened last night.
The weddings go longer than the marriages.
Facebook has become a verb and reading has become an old art form.
Of Thee I Zing is cultural commentary as well funny to disregard, igniting a nationwide conversation long past due. America, your cultural recovery begins right here.
