Description
In the tradition of the Lazlo Letters and the Henry Root Letters comes Jackass Letters, a collection of hoax correspondence with corporations, celebrities, and politicians that consistently pushes the boundaries of good taste and polite decorum, often with hilarious results. Now, these irreverent gems are available in a multi-volume book series. Real people, real letters, real jackass.
Advance Praise
"Jorgensen is the master of yanking corporate America's chain." --Joel Postman, author of SocialCorp--
"In these uncertain times, we need writers like Christopher L. Jorgensen, who aren't afraid to poke the seemingly un-pokeable with an endless arsenal of originality and wit, and discover humanity in the unlikeliest of places." --Christian Dumais, author of Smashed: The Life and Tweets of Drunk Hulk--
"Like the letters your crazy great uncle would write, except twice as coherent, three times as funny, and for the most part legal! The greatest use of the US Postal Service since the SASE!" --Conor Lastowka, author of [Citation Needed].
"I found the Forest Gump posturing of the author quite amusing and refreshing. I even found it poignant at times. Beneath the silly, sometimes sophomoric surface of these letters, the author is craftily pointing to the many absurdities of a rampant capitalist society and all that that brings." --Gary Anderson, author of Animal Magnet--

Jackass Letters is a volume of letters Jorgensen has written to various companies, organisations etc. I wish more of them had replies as I think this dialogue only enhances the book.
It's less of a laugh out loud book and more of subtle comedy but none the less overall enjoyable.

Jorgensen's Jackass Letter are a pure riot. The author has written dozens of companies and other establishments, sending them humourous, obnoxious letters that most likely have any number of intermediaries chuckling quietly. Some are mock ranting (or is it?), while others contain off the wall suggestions, such as bringing back space chimps.
