The Passion of the Breast

Yes, that title is combining two of the most controversial things currently going: Janet Jackson’s boob and Mel Gibson’s movie The Passion (as of 4/18/04, although give it a few months). I’m not sure what The Passion has to do with this story (although it does make a fantastic cover), as it’s all about her right boob going off to make its own fortune in the world. There are more bad boob puns in here than you can shake a stick at (“You’re the tits”, “We can’t just milk this”, etc.), so if you’re not a fan of puns, watch out! Still, it’s a funny, timely book that was the absolute hit of SPACE of 2004. The story in here, such as it is, is about the boob deciding that it should run for office. Lots of little sight gags throughout the book about how thoroughly guys are fixated on boobs too. Is it possible to say “boobs” more times in one review? Boobs! Whether or not it’ll be funny in two years is up for debate, but who cares? It’s funny now! $1.50, contact info is up there.
