Empire
Brendan Jack’s self-published book, Empire, is the funniest thing since people thought that Spud was funny. Which is hilarious. It’s a laugh a page, from page one. Literally. This is the Foreword to theForeword, by way of proof:
Back in simpler times, my cousin Nonny ate a small book as a dare. It was the palm-sized biography of a child star. Afterwards, Nonny sat hunched and crying. “Don’t worry, Nonz,” I said, “everyone’s got at least one book in them.” This is my book.
You can, and should, buy Brendan Jack’s book here. Even though he’s ‘made it’, with the global blow-up of Crazy Monkey and Footskating 101, successful rich people can never get enough of being both of those things. Which is why he’s self-published. He’s like Radiohead, just dictating his terms to the industry. Making all the dough himself, sticking it to the man. Because he is The Man.
Laugh it Off T-shirts
Laugh it Off T-shirts are great as Christmas presents.

Make every Day a Madiba Day
Make every Day a Madiba Day!
South African presidents, like Father Christmas, have their vices. Some will climb down your chimney, some will drink your milk. Some will sleep with your moms. But there’s only one President that is beyond all of this. Beyond rebuke and reproach. But not beyond being Photoshopped to look like a clown. (Because hey, it’s a free country where talk is cheap and freedom of speech comes at a price.) His name is Madiba, and in the spirit of remembering that Santa Claus was once just a trumped-up Christmas Season ad campaign invention of Coca-Cola’s, we chose now to remind you to ‘Make every Day a Madiba Day’. Not just July the 18th. How about today? What have you got planned? Because nothing says ‘I Love You’ quite like a Happy Meal. Love yourself maybe. The love’s gotta start somewhere.
