Who has read the amazing budget books section in FOPP? I have.

This entitles me to talk extensively about Chuck Palahniuk, Hunter S Thompson and other modern writers, and to quote them in everyday rhetoric regarding my futile feuds on Myspace. The past? Who cares, you're all oblivious, future-obsessed asswits.

Aren't I so avant garde and witty? I feel almost obliged to talk about cubism, futurism, scientology... In fact, FOPP is the cultural epicentre of all desperate intelligentsia.

Gosh guys, I feel so intelligent.

Yet, at the same time, I feel almost obliged to go read other phenomenal writers such as Coupland and Banks, because my wallet has allowed me to feel almost intelligent today. Should I start with classics? No, let me elaborate on the already stagnant present. Should I allow the past to describe the future? No, let me eleborate on the present's ability to describe nothing. Vacuous uniformity.

Thank god for student loans and their compatibility with FOPP's bargain books range. Thank God, thank god, Thank Godd, thank Gadd?

Bile in a handkerchief, possibly relieved as a result of stimulation from laughter. You're pathetic.

Hey! I'm smart though right? I bought all my Hunter S Thompson books at full price from other bookstores.

[deadmike]

just what the UGS needs, another psuedo intellectual who thinks its big and clever to take the piss out of things.

if you so bloody smart why cant you think of something better to do with your time, like a cure for cancer??? eh?? having a cheap pop at fopp a bit bloody easy innit!

...i got a new copy of Fear and Loathing at virgin when they sold em for next to nothing...my old one was falling apart...this made me cry (well...not really).
As for FOPP...well...there was a huuuuuge rant about it a few months back im sure...i dont know why...maybe coz they dont sell nice n warm socks...
I've never had a problem with fopp myself, i like the choice of cheep random shit you can buy there. Got some rob zombie cds for £5 which was nice...

Coupland is not intelligent. His work is childish and lacks point.

I like the fopp cheap books. It means I can enjoy easy reads that i normally would not buy if they were £7/8 pounds.

[Rich]

i agree with the above, twice.

[Downie]

to all the people disagreeing with the post...it's a piss take, a joke, don't get angry.

it is saying fopps collection is pretentious so is written in a very pretentious way. funny i say, and maybe slightly intelligent. but not genius.
