Download the Bumper B3ta Book of Sick Jokes for free

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

The whole sick jokes project hasn’t just been an attempt to get 100% filth into the British Library, but also a (not so) secret attempt to test my theories of marketing.

My little idea is “give away the book and more people would buy it.” Not really a paradox, but simply that a PDF copy allows people to enjoy the material, but isn’t really a suitable gift for a birthday present.

“Oooh. A 14MB email attachment, your generosity is really spoiling us.”

Hence, give it away, and maybe people will buy a copy for a friend. That’s assuming they think the book is good of course.

Gah, but fuck it, here we go. Here’s the book for free, and hopefully the Amazon sales rank won’t plummet to zero.

And here’s the magic link: www.SickJokeBook.com, go crazy.

And with that, the Sick Joke project is nearly over. Well barring the soon to be re-launched, bigger and better Sickipedia…

Jewish Bingo

Friday, January 12th, 2007

A friend of my wife’s recently visited New York and came back with a Christmas present: Jewish Picture Bingo. Apparently not a gag, but a game sold by Jewish Educational Toys, Brooklyn.

I feel compelled to take a few photographs and share.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed Jewish Bingo, and play a game the next time your Rabbi comes to visit.
