From the Paper:

"The Use of Satire, Irony and Parody in The Spectacular Vernacular Review The following is a statement from The Spectacular Vernacular Review: Shortly after 9/11 some astute critics claimed that we would see the end of irony in the arts, if only for awhile. PBFB took that as a call to arms. (Prize Budget for Boys) In this sentence, the Prize Budget for Boys (PBFB) declares its intention to deliberately foster irony in the arts, and this is precisely what they do in this unique book. We can find many instances of irony in this book, as well as irony's near relations, parody and satire. All are used to make political and sociological points."
