Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Look out, public relations; take cover, customer service — Paul Rosa's letter is in the mail and his inventively imbecilic queries about consumer products have a way of eliciting equally idiotic and even more unlikely answers from some of America's biggest companies.

In the bestselling tradition of The Lazlo Letters comes a howlingly funny exchange of correspondence between a consumer kamikaze extraordinaire and some of America's biggest companies.

This is a fun read. The author writes to a number of different companies with ridiculious questions and then asks for a t-shirt. He has published his letters and the responses to them in this book. It's an amazing read to see how people can be polite when asked things like why his dental floss was a couple inches shorter than stated on the package!
