A Guide To The Most Disgusting, Hideous, Inept, And Dangerous People, Places And Things On Earth.
Bookstore shelves are lined with tomes dedicated to the finest things that life has to offer - the most exquisite dining experiences, the world's greatest athletes, the most brilliant military strategists, the most excellent automobiles. These books make for fine reading. But what we really want to know is how bad things can get, and just how dumb people can be (witness the success of The Worst-Case Scenario and the Darwin Awards).
The real entertainment is to be found not in the cream of the crop, but at the bottom of the barrel.
'The World's Worst' is a celebration/indictment of nearly 50 infamous and little-known exemplars of the awful. Thoroughly researched, scathingly funny essays avoid the obvious to uncover the worst people, places and things on Earth for the reader's amusement and edification, with half of the entries also illustrated by the author.
