Roger's Profanisaurus IV: The Magna Farta (Viz) Viz
095485778X / 9780954857783 Paperback
Well...this is the last time we swipe our descriptions from Amazon... It is probably little-known that no other language contains more obscenity than English. In fact, 0.39% of the words appearing in the Oxford English Dictionary were deemed 'lewd' by a recent Government enquiry. The publishers of Viz have been tireless in their efforts to categorise the full diversity of English execration and this is the latest result of their ongoing efforts. It is unlikely that a more thorough attempt has been made to transcribe potty-mouthed vocabulary since Doctor Samuel Johnson's four-volume 'Lexicon of Ribaldry'. Regarded as the Holy Grail of profane scholarship, the manuscript (as reported by James Boswell) never came to light and is believed to have been destroyed by gypsies. Anyway, I learned plenty here and I now employ words other than *@#& and *$@& - even when drinking among unemployables at 'The Swan and Anchor'! However, as well as many unusual expressions, one finds detailed definitions of more common terms. For example, @#%$%*ing is defined as the process of licking $%&@# (sometimes called %$@*#) from either a $*#@$ or an *%$# (which is, amusingly, sometimes known as a *&@#%!). Among the less familiar words are a handful that have been taken from foreign languages and adopted into our own tongue. Surprisingly, the Germans have a verb for the act of *#@$%ing a Grandmother's $%*@#$ while having a *$#£@ inserted into one's £&*#@ by a transgendered dwarf with an unusually hairy #*£@$. Apparently $*%£@&$@#*%&?#%@&*£%#&?@$&@#&$*$%*&# is the longest known word for an obscene act (at 36 characters!). Strangely, despite common usage, it has yet to be officially accepted into the English language by the $*%£@&$@#*%&?#%@&*£%#&?@$&@#&$*$%*&#ers who produce the Oxford English Dictionary. (note from Amazon- this review has been censored in accordance with the stringent measures that are in place to prevent ALL vulgarity from appearing in customer reviews)

Viz: Roger Mellie's Ad Break Viz
0752215531 / 9780752215532 Hardcover
Roger's commercial breaks have become a regular feature of his Viz strip, with the hapless television presenter's attempts to supplement his income usually going awry. Now as well as Roger's hilarious commercials we have his selection of the best of Viz ads - from the Rear View Arse Mirror ('at last it's possible to drive and ogle girl's arses in safety') to John Smith's "Breast Bitter Ltd" ('this Christmas give your husband exactly what he wants... an enormous tit full of beer!). There is also a selection of the best 'Franklin Mint' ads like the Ted West teddy bear (part of the "Bears of Murder" limited edition collectors series) and the Little Hitler Doll ('The Mitford and Mosely Mint are proud to present a charming study of nascent evil'). Outrageously funny, "Roger Mellie's Break" will appeal to the many devoted fans of Viz - and anyone with a scatalogical sense of humour!
