MFN: A Cultural Satire

Award Winning Finalist - Humor 2011 International Book Awards Rick Loonie is the top-rated "shock jock" in Toronto. He and his sidekick Jim Mooney are the stars of the rock and roll radio show: "Loonie & Mooney in the Morning". The two of them thrive on celebrity foibles and fumbles, creating "cartoons of the mind" for their listening audience: Oprah Winfrey in a brawl with Barbara Walters, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama at a strip club, Robert Kennedy Jr. snorting heroin with Amy Winehouse, and the Jackson family relentlessly scrambling to obtain fame and profit from Michael's death. After they record a spoof of a gangsta rap song, it's leaked onto a download site, and the duo must suddenly scramble to salvage their careers and stop the collateral damage that will destroy their lives. MFN is a hilarious satire about today's tabloid-voyeuristic celebrity-laden society, featuring roller-coaster plot twists and outrageous fresh-as-the-headlines comedy. Critic comments include: "An irresistibly entertaining book that is hard to stop reading", "Laugh-out-loud funny", and "'The Catcher in the Rye' meets 'Private Parts' with a generous helping of 'South Park'."
