Corporate Comedy

_Dear Mr. Mackin..._ is one of the funniest books I've ever read. I was laughing out loud the whole way through.What Mackin does is write letters to companies about their products, usually regarding their advertising or packaging. ...He then prints the company's response alongside. It's most often a form letter with an enclosure of coupons, but sometimes not. For light, funny-as-hell reading, you can't do better than this gem of a collection. If anyone knows what the 2000 body parts that LEVER2000 cleans, I'm sure Rich would love to know.

The Reverend Rich Mackin Is A Man Of Wealth And Taste

This is one of the funniest books I've ever read! Everybody I show it to wants a copy for themselves and everyone I've given a copy to loves it! A lot of the letters Reverend Mackin writes were clearly written with a sense of humour but there are quite a few that leave you thinking, "Hmmmmmm..." What exactly does the word Nog mean? ... Do I have 2000 body parts for Lever2000 to clean? This is a very entertaining book for all to enjoy.

The Return of the Subversive Genius

This book rocks!!! If George Carlin and Ralph Nader had a bastard child, it would be Rich Mackin. Dry and overt witticisms mangled perfectly with Mr. Mackin's personal campaign against corporate hypocrisy melds into a delightful read. Although it can easily be broken up from the different correspondence and could double as the ideal book for the top of the toilet tank, I douubt that it would stay there for long; I couldn't resist downing it in one dose. Mr. Mackin brilliantly dissects the dumbed-down spoon-fed logic that is corporate consumption and offers a staple for individual provocation that anyone who is fed up with that mentality can live through vicariously or be inspired by. Thank you Mr. Mackin.
