'Hello Junk Mail! is pure comedic genius.' -Jerry Seinfeld NEW
YORK, Oct. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hello Junk Mail! (National
Lampoon Press) is the latest work of Ted L. Nancy, author of the
best-selling, cult classic series Letters From A Nut. Mr. Nancy's
hilarious Letters From A Nut documented his correspondence with
dignitaries and companies who took his outlandish ideas and
suggestions at face value. In Hello Junk Mail! Nancy tackles one of
the most vile evils of the modern age: junk mail & spam. The
result: a comical collection of letters and responses that could
only be generated by Ted L. Nancy. Writing with his neighbors, a
newly arrived foreign family - the Kabobbys of Glendale - they
answer scores of junk mail for termite offers, foot cures, &
credit cards while telling the Junk Mailers of Hamooli Kabobby's
B.O., his wife who rejects him, and his son with male breasts.
"Dear Detrol Bladder Control," writes Nancy. "You say your side
effects are dry mouth, headaches, constipation. Hey that is pretty
good Saturday night for me. Respectfully, Bahir Kabobby" And the
junk mailers wrote back! "Dear Bahir Kabobby, please keep a bladder
diary ... fill it out and share it with your doctor." Along with
the release of Hello Junk Mail! comes even more speculation and
controversy surrounding the "real" identity of Ted L. Nancy. Is he
now a family of foreigners living in a backyard in Glendale? Is he
legendary comedian Jerry Seinfeld? When asked for a quote Jerry
Seinfeld simply said, "Hello Junk Mail! is pure comedic genius."
But that still doesn't answer the question as to the identity of
Ted L. Nancy. Is Ted Hamooli Kabobby? Bahir Kabobby or strange
family friend Coco LaBoy? Across the World Wide Web, the debate
continues, as readers post their theories on blogs and message
boards. Ted's Norwegian attorney, Eric Bjorgum, even had something
to say regarding the matter: "The answer is yes. I was also told he
is Barry Marder. There's even speculation that the Illustrator of
the Ted books, Alan Marder, is the real Mr. Nancy. I have heard
it's some woman named Phyllis. I am amazed at the popularity of
this little man who's currently on Canadian knockoff drugs. I hope
that clears things up." The one thing critics and readers can agree
on is that Ted L. Nancy writes a really, really funny book.
Undoubtedly, Hello Junk Mail! will become the most discussed and
debated literary work of the modern age. You should probably cover
it. TITLE INFORMATION Hello Junk Mail By Ted L. Nancy Price: $17.95
