Reading Scotland's Jesus should be like being called into the
living room by your child shouting that they see a little red dot
on the head of a TV newscaster, then riding the white hot bullet
through the propaganda circuitry of his or her exploding brain.
It's a funny book about the news, partly because it was decided
that a pornographic book about Scottish Independence wouldn't
really sell. In chapters ranging from International Politics to the
Animal World, 'Scotland's Jesus' is allowed the opportunity to
showcase his increasingly unsympathetic worldview and
disintegrating psyche. A torrent of jokes about recent events
provide the framework for a broader philosophical despair. Frankie
Boyle uses the stories of the popular press as a springboard to
explain the nature of reality and the details of our enslavement to
mirthless corporate Warlocks.
