Rush's Rehab Diary: High Satire for Low Brows

According to Rushs Rehab Diary, small group therapy can be quite effective in producing short-term behavior change. In this satirical view of residential treatment programs, biting humor and social sarcasm challenges our assumptions about the cult of celebrity that is currently the rage in the United States. No celebrities were harmed during the creation of this work.

(PRWEB) January 17, 2004 --High Satire for Low Brows

Have you ever wondered what REALLY happens when a popular personality enters a drug rehab program? How do their egos interfere with/assist the course of therapy? Is it effective?

According to Rushs Rehab Diary, small group therapy can be quite effective in producing short-term behavior change. In this satirical view of residential treatment programs, residents are segregated by politics and their abused substance of choice:
   Alcoholics (Democrats)
   Pill-poppers (Republicans)
   Smokers, snorters, and sniffers (Libertarians)

A fourth category, former child stars, includes representatives of the first three categories.

Set in a mythical treatment center in a legendary place called Colorado", several thought-provoking questions are posed (and answered), such as

   Why did Gary Coleman lose the California governorship to Ahnold?
   How do you make illicit wine in a toilet?
   Does a voodoo doll of Al Franken really work?
   How fast can Steven Segal knock you on your butt when you challenge his acting abilities?

The 28 day diary is also scattered with biting humor and social sarcasm that challenges our assumptions about the cult of celebrity that is currently the rage in the United States. The title character, Rush", makes observations about his fellow celebrities": Charlie, Angelina, Courtney, and a certain former US President ordered by his politically motivated wife to either work on his sexual impulse problems or be neutered.

In Adobe Acrobat format, this e-book contains links to web resources that footnote the main topics: making voodoo dolls; answering the question who is Paul Harvey, anyway?"; tips on brewing prison toilet wine, and more. Theres even an interlude featuring a Haiku contest.
