Book description
It is time to bring to the world's attention the modern Australian
bogan. The word is still associated with flannelette, VB, utes and
mullets. This is wrong. The word 'bogan' needs to be reassessed. Meet
the nouveau-bogue. The modern bogan. Today's bogan defies income, class,
race, creed, gender, religion and logic. For better for worse, Australia
is contending with a different beast from the Paul Hogan bogan. This is
a bogan with money. A bogan with aspirations. A bogan with Ed Hardy
t-shirts. The new bogan will not rest until it owns a plastma TV so
large that 'Two and a Half Men' gets rounded up to three. THINGS BOGANS
LIKE is a landmark sociological publication and, far more importantly,
essential reading for anyone who has ever bought a Buddhist-themed water
feature, a four-litre energy drink or watched 'Today Tonight'. This book
is judge and jury of what it is to be a bogan in the twenty-first
century. Brace your ego for some tough love. sadly recognisable,
clever and very, very funny'
