'Stooples: Office Tools for Hopeless Fools' Launches Book, Web Site, Nude Calendar

The nude calendar is expected to be a big hit. The problem is that the nudists are not very attractive and they happen to be chihuahuas.

(PRWEB) September 26, 2005 -- Whether it's the endless conference calls, dull budget meetings, or just stupid forms, the humdrum of office life can turn the most motivated career person into a mindless zombie.

With the workplace an absurd limbo, "Stooples: Office Tools for Hopeless Fools," by Kevin Reifler, Nick Vacca, and Adam Najberg (St. Martins Griffin; 0-312-34086-9; $12.95; October 2005) is a hilarious new book that brilliantly skewers the silliness of office culture.

What if your standard office catalogue were to go absolutely insane? Instead of offering pens, pencils, Post-It Notes and staples, it would be filled with Office Massacre Defense Systems, Accent Decoders, Pocket Shredders, and Conference Call Sense Makers. This is the office supply catalogue that every employee needs. Outrageously satirical and highly original, "Stooples" is a must-have for any and every office -- and office worker.

A full color parody of an office supply catalog, "Stooples" contains such genius inventions as:

*    Fluorescent-Light Tanning Butter: Look like a million dollars even if you never see the sun. Fast-acting tanning butter absorbs fluorescent rays, turns gray and lumpy office skin into something slightly less abhorrent. Pleasant orange-brown coloring matches most institutional furniture and carpeting. For instant results, place face or limb over copier machine for a five-copy tan.

*    Holographic VIPs: Go one better than name-dropping! Three-dimensional images of top business leaders sitting in your office show that youre really in conference. Bill Gates, Alan Greenspan, Mr. Peanut. Others available on request.

*    Yes-Man: Bobbing head doll in three-piece suit does wonders for the ego in search of massage. Spring-action neck promotes total agreement with inane suggestions, unbridled enthusiasm for half-baked schemes. Hand-painted, obsequious smile tells you you're the greatest!

*    Retirement Gourd: Why give a gold watch for 30 years of loyal service when the lazy SOB probably couldn't find another job anyway? Retirement Gourd is good enough for a career that stalled early and often.
