Where The Hell Are People Who Would Want Matt's Book? • Ew. You know that guy, Matt? The one who makes videos of himself dancing all over the world so that mom's have something to forward over email and the Today show has another "cute" story in the morning? Well now he has a book.

Carrie Prejean turned the video camera off, put on some clothes, and stepped out of her house. It was a beautiful day outside. The air smelled like apples, and the late morning light hit the world in just such a...

Wait, Gabe, aren't you capitalizing on garbage internet town? Isn't that your job? Hypocrisy ZING!
Score = 6
Except your attempts are un-terrible. Don't make me wet with fire.
Score = 10
Where the hell is the designer of that book cover? They should have hired photoshop Gabe since he was just promoted to Executive Vice President of Being the Best at Photoshop.
Score = 7
Seriously! Terrible.
Score = 2
I bought it because I've met Matt multiple times and he's an interesting guy with a great outlook on life and it's actually a relatively compelling travelogue coffee table book that's also only 10 dollars?
Score = 3

Not that I'm going to buy the book or anything. Still, all power to him.
Score = 11

Score = 4

Score = 0
I read "Round Ireland with a Fridge", and it was pretty entertaining. If that exact same guy, with his exact same book, had first been an "internet sensation", I would want to punch him in the face. And his book. And Nicole Kidman.
Score = 1
