"My culture is depraved, Not sure it can be saved . . . Of Thee I
Zing. Land filled with STDs, Pants way down to the knees, Nary a
"thanks" or "please" This is going to sting. . . . "
While Laura Ingraham was walking through a Northern Virginia
shopping mall one Saturday afternoon, it all became clear to her:
Our country is in grave peril. Our culture of ignorance, arrogance,
and gluttony undermines our present and endangers our future.
Everywhere she turned, she saw signs of the impending disaster:
zombie teens texting each other across a cafe table; a man having
his eyebrows threaded at a kiosk; a fiftyish woman shoehorned into
a tube top and skinny jeans; and a storefront ad featuring a
Victoria's Secret model spilling out of her push-up bra and into
the faces of young passersby. Ingraham wondered, "Is this it? Is
this what our forefathers fought for? What my parents struggled
for? I wonder if Victoria's Secret is still having that two-for-one
sale?"
In an act of patriotic intervention, the most-listened-to woman in
talk radio casts her satirical eye upon all that ails American
society. In this sharp-witted comic romp, Laura Ingraham takes you
on a guided tour through ten levels of our cultural hell.
"You know we're in trouble when . . . "
Airplane seats shrink--just as the passengers expand.
Celebrity baby names go from the peculiar (Apple, Stetson, and
Daisy Boo) to the pathetic (Bamboo, Blanket, and Bronx).
People meticulously tend their virtual crops on Farmville, while
their children eat takeout.
"Breaking News" usually means it happened yesterday.
The weddings last longer than the marriages.
Facebook has become a verb and reading has become an ancient art
form.
"Of Thee I Zing "is cultural commentary too funny to ignore,
igniting a national conversation long past due. America, your
cultural recovery begins here.
