There is usually a fine line between genius and insanity but in this case it has become very
blurred. Some of the funniest and most clever writing I have read in years. (Terrance Fielding
WIRED magazine) I laughed so hard and uncontrollably I could hardly breathe. Reading this on
public transport is not a good idea. (Penthouse magazine) Brilliantly funny. (Jezebel.com) From
the notorious Internet troublemaker who brought the world the explosively popular Next Time
I'll Spend the Money on Drugs Instead in which he attempted to pay his chiropractor with a
picture he drew of a spider Please Design a Logo for Me. With Pie Charts. For Free which has
been described as one of the most passed-on viral e-mails of all time and most recently the
staggeringly popular Missing Missy which has appeared everywhere from The Guardian to Jezebel
to Andrew Sullivan's The Daily Dish comes this profoundly funny collection of irreverent
Internet mischief and comedy. Featuring all of Thorne's viral success including Missing Missy
The Internet Is a Playground culls together every article and e- mail from Thorne's wildly
popular website 27bslash6.com as well as enough new material available only in these pages
to keep you laughing-and indeed crying-until Thorne's next stroke-of-genius prank. Or
hilarious hoax. Or well-publicized almost-stint in jail (really).
