Book description
The authorities on all things bogan and authors of THINGS BOGANS LIKE
are back with an historical, sociological, geographic and cultural study
that traces bogan culture back to society's very foundation. Identifying
prototypical and stereotypical bogans through time, they examine the
bogan of the 19th century and their pre-war descendants, before moving
onto the speciman often considered the quintessential bogan, identified
by a love of '80s metal, flannelette and Victoria Bitter. They then
track the bogan's leap into the 21st century - where they can be seen
across the country, clad in garish garb, holding their nationalism close
to their chest, and slavishly following every celebrity trend.
BOGANOMICS is an important book for all Australians as understanding is
the bridge to unity. Read this book to broaden your knowlege ... or to
laugh ... a lot. There are in fact six self-confessed snobs
responsible for this maxtreme study: E. Chas McSween: Adopted at the age
of eight, by visiting celebrity bogan Greg Evans and relocated to a
household full of Ken Done prints and Jive Bunny CDs. Intravenus De
Milo: Now living in Australia, smug in the satisfaction that he is
pretty much the smartest person in the country. Melbourne and Sana'a,
Yemen-based Hunter McKenzie-Smythe: Completed an Arts degree and skied
the world until experiencing an epiphany and converted to Sunni Islam.
Flash Johnson: Born from an egg on a Peruvian mountaintop in 1986, Flash
set sail for Australia - the site of the world's most advanced bogan
colony and now resides in Melbourne. Enron Hubbard: Since his arrest for
civil unrest while defending battery hens, militant vegan Ron lives as a
hermit, fearful of reprisals from angry bogans who value their low-cost,
high-quantity egg and poultry goods. Michael Jayfox: From the lush,
bogan habitat of Victoria's Latrobe Valley. Initially planning to sell
the bogan maxtreme products that it didn't need, he became distracted by
the study of the bogan creature itself, and began writing of its ways.
