The ultimate guide to faking it through the real world! Now the people who bring you the Web's most popular humor site teach you how to live the good life (or at least look like you do).
In Faking It readers will learn how to bluff their way through on-the-job conversations, woo cute art students with the compelling use of the term "postmodern," and feign a deep appreciation of Neruda. The CollegeHumor team of experts provides everything required to pull off an outstanding social life, including appearing to have cultural knowledge beyond references gleaned from The Simpsons. The sexual, financial, and social arenas have never been more competitive, so it can't hurt to act like you understand classical music, even if you prefer light beer to light opera.
With an astonishing 10 million unique visitors a month, CollegeHumor.com ranks within the top six hundred Web sites worldwide. Now, in a follow-up to their recently launched The CollegeHumor Guide to College, these cheeky alumni offer real-world novices a guide to getting ahead-without getting out of bed before noon. Before you start reading this book, take a moment and think about the person you would like to be. Is this guy or gal sophisticated, witty, and resourceful? Armed with a broad array of cultural knowledge matched only by a deep well of practical know-how and an effortless charisma with the opposite sex? What would you say if there was a pill you could take that would turn you into this ideal human? Now, what would you say if this pill was too large to swallow but could easily be read, and upon completion could give you the same results as the aforementioned magical pill? Congratulations, you are now holding said pill. (Please stop eating this book, you just don't understand the metaphor yet.)
