Foreigners

People, after months of searching I have finally found it. One of the funniest pieces of satire ever written. I first found out about this writer from my intermediate microeconomics professor and quickly read everything he had ever written up to that point. Unfortunately, his writing took a serious dip in both quantity and quality around the turn of the millennium. It could be a result of his age but I think it is attributable to his decreased consumption of cocaine and gin. Be warned, though, that this is likely to be one of the most racist things you've ever laid eyes on. But it's satire so, like Quentin Tarrantino yelling the word "nigger" in Samuel L. Jackson's face, it is socially acceptable. So without further ado I give you P.J. O'Rourke's "Foreigners Around the World: A Brief Survey of the various Foreign Types, Their Chief Characteristics, Customs, and Manners."

If you like this and want to read some of his earlier stuff I highly recommend Parliament of Whores, Republican Party Reptile, and Peace Kills: America's Fun New Imperialism. If you want a brief bio of the man he started life as a dirty hippie doing a bunch of dirty hippy drugs and writing for the National Lampoon. Around the 80's he became a Republican took to freelance writing and traded the weed and acid for cocaine, gin, and whiskey. For most of the last twenty years he's been a right-leaning libertarian writing for The Atlantic, publishing many books, and serving as a fellow for The Cato Institute. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

EDIT: NOT SAFE FOR WORK!
