F U, Penguin - Telling Cute Animals What's What

Satirical critique of cuteness; funny, irreverent humor.

If you've ever rolled your eyes at another viral animal video, "F U, Penguin" is your kind of book. It's like a breath of fresh, albeit slightly grumpy, air. Matthew Gasteier flips the script on the "cute animal" narrative with sharp wit and a ton of laughs. Imagine the satisfaction of telling those adorable creatures everyone fawns over exactly what you really think—this book does just that, and more hilariously than you probably would. Ideal for those with a cheeky sense of humor who can appreciate poking fun at the internet's endless obsession with all things cute.

Description

Perfect for the Scrooge in your life—a profane, hilarious takedown of all things cute and cuddly, by the author of the blog sensation of (almost) the same name. Attention, all you clumsy pandas, lovable puffins, huggable bunnies, and penguins that elicit ooohs! The jig is up! We have lived under your furry fists for too long. There is a cute and present danger lurking out there–in the wild, in the zoos, and sometimes even in our very own homes. Spurred on by the Cute Industrial Complex, these cuddly animals have taken over blockbuster films, inspirational posters, and computer desktops everywhere, further weakening the innocent civilians who are beguiled by these fuzzy frauds. But you are stronger than them, aren’t you? Those soft bellies and wet noses are no match for you–and their free ride has just come to an end. F U, Penguin is the rallying cry for those who choose to fight these power-hungry cute-mongers. Loaded with color photographs and hilarious commentary, this book will have you laughing out loud while it simultaneously saves you from the tragic fate of tossing yarn with big-eyed kittens and bottle-nursing baby pandas forever.
