Armed with Elvis biographies and a King James Bible, an investigative journalist compares the King of Rock and Roll to the King of Kings, in a hilarious, outrageously illustrated exploration of... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I was familiar with Mr. White's weird and sparkling imaginations from his other book, "It feeds by itself." But oh-ho-boy I was not prepared for the jaw slapping humor by Mr. A.J.Jacobs! These little couplets explore the MANY similarinies between Jesus and Elvis, and there are more than you or I had ever dreamed! Very funny, but also--what if true? I read part of it to my godneice, and she just laughed, but I say--let's delve into this thing! Something this big warrants further research! Where's the government funding for this important issue!?

Author AJ Jacobs nails genius Eric White illustrations of Elvis & Jesus to satirical crosses in order to rightfully outrage the millions of humorless freaks who brainlessly worship them.
