Schuyler Thorne hates his boss, his life and his dead ex-wife?s husband, all of which are causing him grief. Now that Tailburger, the number one choice among rednecks, trailer trash and multiple-pierced punks, is facing a crisis because of all the health food fanatics, his overweight boss (whom he has nicknamed ?The Link? is breathing down his neck for him to come up with a marketing campaign that will put the business in the black.
This book was a howl, practically from the first page. Reading Schuyler?s accounts of how truly gross the burgers are and how he?s working to jam them down people?s throats had me in stitches. It has the dark humor of ?Thank You for Smoking? and all of the self-righteous fervor of a Bible thumper. The Link makes no bones that the burgers are bad for your health; he just doesn?t want other people telling him to tell folks they can?t eat it. Schuyler brings this attitude to the forefront when he confronts the shareholders
Excerpt:
?Most disturbing of all?I was approached about adding something healthy to our Tailburger menu. This tells me that the propaganda machine in America is alive and well. Everyone, from the American Heart Association to Dr. Koop to Richard Simmons, is telling you all you can eat are sprouts and lentils. They say beef kills you. These fascists won?t be happy until every last one of us is wearing a lycra bodysuit and jumping around in our living rooms to the worst pre-packaged dance music from the eighties you?ve ever heard. We?ve got to push back against this health craze. And we will!
?We?ll continue to be a shining light amidst the darkness. The brand everyone loves to hate. And today, you lucky people will be the first to hear our new national slogan. Mike, will you get the curtain.?
Mike?took his cue, pressed some button and revealed my marketing greatness on an enormous screen.
