Underwear is king. I mean from a purely monetization standpoint. Forget Facebook buy stock in underwear. Literally and literally. I mean buy both - the actual wearable kind and the company's shares.

Everyone is getting in on that act. From famous music and filmi personalities to even tennis stars. Recently I read that some ex communist bloc country's rising female tennis phenom has gone into business to sell eponymous brand of women's racy undergarments.

Start from page 1 and move to the right. Witty, caustic and thought provoking this is a book you want to read if you believe that the status quo might, just might be wrong. At times bordering on being contrarian about most things around us it tries to zero in on the notion of what makes anything believable and certain in our minds. The fact that there is a fact itself is ironic. Something analogous to the idea that you can never predict the future because there is no future. Many books and movies have tried to play on this concept - best that I recollect (I think I am) was 'The Truman Show'. This book by Klosterman attempts to provoke the reader to at least contemplate that what they think they know may be wrong. He uses examples like concept of gravity, and how it ...
Are we sure that people are not going fruity, or going bananas here with an over dose of under garment brands? How much underwear can one wear?
