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 ueber-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.

Are we not men?????????? December 18, 2008 bsharkey (Orange, CA USA) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I too have verbally railed against the frosty faux-hawks and douchey tattoos thrust upon us by these packs of roaming heathens, seemingly to no avail. I feel like Mugatu in Zoolander, "Doesn't anybody notice this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!"?
A larger study must be done on what attracts alleged hotties to this offensive set. The author touches on these themes, and I have my theories but alas it may exceed the scope of this course. I will however drop one hint, that it is my personal educated opinion at least a significant subset of these females, are actually lady douchebags in disguise (the cover art hints at this with the wraparound shades). The best revenge? Insult them convincingly or show them up in a series of moves, to steal their girlfriends. They were going to leave them anyway, as soon as they earned enough to quit their job at the local Dairy Queen or Hot Dog on A Stick.
Let us unite and rally against being subjected to further douchebaggery, my brothers! Are we not men?????????
Like Pliny the Elder, if he wrote about the history of Douche December 3, 2008 Eric Garland (Washington DC) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
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.
Hilarious, well-written and intelligent! August 21, 2008 Matthieu P. Raillard (Portland, OR USA) 13 out of 14 found this review helpful
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 S. F. Peterson (Erie, PA United States) 8 out of 9 found this review helpful
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.
