Product Description
Greasy foreheads. Spiky frosted hair. Oiled-up faces dripping with Tag Body Shot spray. Armani Exchange T-shirts and rank cologne wafting off their backs like fetid pollen clouds as they pump their fists and attempt to grind into any hotties nearby. Young beauties oblivious to the hulking monstrosity clutching at their butts like snapping turtles on Red Bull.From sea to douchey sea, ours is a culture plagued by this festering blight. By the dark forces of über-douchebaggery. How did this happen? What can we do to confront the douchebag/hottie plague that rots our collective souls like boils sent by a wrathful and angry God? And how can you recover if you or your loved one is 'bag? Now, for the first time, there is an answer to those questions that haunt our collective will and sap our culture of any claim to societal advance: Why hottie/douchebaggery? Why now? And why are douche-faces so silly? In this book we dissect, analyze, contemplate and mock the rank douchescrotes that pollute our country's hottie supply on a daily basis. Every branch of the douche-tree will be examined. Every corner of our cultural rot will be exposed. And if we can lust after their hotties along the way, then all the better.

 Like Pliny the Elder, if he wrote about the history of Douche December 3, 2008
Dr. Jay Louis is clearly one of the world's premiere anthrodouchologists, producing here a work that will remain one of the cornerstones of modern social science for millennia to come. Tying together our Cro-'Bagnon roots, the Bhagavad Gita, Moby Dick, Joseph Conrad's Heart of Doucheness, New Kids on the Block, and the proliferation of super-premium vodka, Dr. Louis functions both as therapist for all societies everywhere looking to heal themselves, and also as an epidemiologist warning us of a plague that may have no end in sight, leaving no man's daughter unBleethed.
This work could not be more timely, as we rebuild our tattered financial system, rend asunder an increasingly corrupt healthcare industry, and finally attempt a process of de-douchification in New Jersey. Dr. Louis' greatness is truly meant for such an era of rampant scrote. Obama should make a cabinet position for him immediately: The Douche Czar.
 A tad disappointing. November 12, 2008

As noted, the author didn't shoot the photos himself; they were all lifted off the Internet. And the text to this book is absolutely painful. The author crowds paragraphs around each photo with variations on the word "douchery," and the laughs stop after about twenty pages. Worst of all, the author admits (in the final chapter) that the cover photo was staged by professional models. How many other of the "zany" snapshots in this compilation were actually posed and fabricated? There's a fishy smell about this book, and it's not the pleasant one the author keeps mentioning.
Hilarious, well-written and intelligent! August 21, 2008

I have to admit that when I heard this book was coming out, I had my doubts about the quality. I was a big fan of the site, but honestly, what could the author add to the pictures that were already available online?
This volume, however, was a very pleasant surprise, and let me assure you that yes, it is well worth buying, even (or especially?) if you are a fan of the site.
The author weaves a funny yet quite insightful and intelligent narrative throughout this text, and while there is plenty of humor, there are a number of astute sociological observations that give it added depth. Make no mistake, this is not a scholarly work, but the elegant and polished prose with which the author presents an admittedly low-brow subject is refreshing. And hey, he mentions Lacan!
The pictures are, of course, the main draw here, and they do not disappoint. The wide variety of subjects is as hilarious as it is depressing, and is very well organized and presented. Definitely a worthy read!
Fan of the website? Then you will enjoy the book. August 3, 2008

I try to spread the gospel of www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com (the author's website) as much as possible. The book is hilarious, but also seeks to educate the reader on a disturbing trend in America and the world. Namely the transformation of men into douchebags in their quest to obtain the hotties. At only around $12 on Amazon it makes a great coffee book and conversation piece, plus its highly entertaining.

Buy it, for the children. Before, in the words of Neville Chamberlain, we have "grease in our time".
Do it for the children.
And one-star guy can felate a mailbox.
