How to Piss in Public: From Teenage Rebellion to the Hangover of Adulthood

Front Cover
Simon and Schuster, Mar 20, 2012 - Biography & Autobiography - 288 pages
A laugh-out-loud, go-for-the-jugular chronicle of audacious true stories from the creator of Vice magazinefor the huge audiences that devour Tucker Max, Justin Halpern, Chuck Klosterman, and Chelsea Handler.

Though technically a memoir, this is more a compendium of hair-whitening bar stories that punch you in the throat until your eyes explode. Many people have watched their friends die and some have been to jail. There are those who have stepped in the ring with professional fighters and been beaten within an inch of their lives. Others have created media empires. Very few have done all this and embarrassed dozens of celebrities; enjoyed more than a couple of threesomes; brought the world “Warhol’s Children”; consistently attracted a million views with viral comedy videos; said, “Jesus is gay,” on national television; and made two American Indians from scratch.

There certainly isn’t anyone with this kind of life experience who can convey each tale in such a hilarious and endearing way. Whether he’s watching his friend get decapitated on acid or snorting cocaine off women’s breasts, McInnes only ever has one priority: maximum laughs. He’s not here to tell you how wise his father is or how hard it was to achieve his success. He’s here to make you laugh so hard, you puke. That’s it.
