LONDON - THE £25,000 BOOK OF HORSE PORN

I love horses, so naturally I want to spend thousands on some pictures of them and so do my friends. Don't be bitter. Yeah I see some crying about this 'recession'. Yeah I see some of you bent over in Morrissons looking for your 10p off coupon, 18 malnourished kids circling your ricket-ravished legs. Yeah I see you and your unemployed husbands facing a winter that could kill off half of your nasty litter and I spit on you. I spit on you by shoving my wads in your face before spending more money than you spent on your house on a book of horsie pictures. But then, as the people say: This book celebrates the power and mystique of the horse by bringing together the most spectacular and evocative equine images ever compiled. Check out how good it is.

So I spent £25,000 on a book of horse porn. Yeah, pictures of horses. Mythical creatures to you, right up there with unicorns and werewolves. Way out of the slums where people can afford basic human rights like dignity and electricity and a car for each day of the week horses run wild in our acres and they’re things of beauty. And you don€'t get horses as good looking as these anywhere else.

I needed this because my antique Amazonian coffee table wasn'€™t groaning loud enough under the weight of shit I bought from my catalogue of obnoxious commodities. I want to hear that bitch moan like a tight-assed prep school boarder from the brunt of my acquisitions from the How To Spend It section of my bible Icon Magazine. While you're heating your family from the fumes of ten Argos catalogues I€'m reading a lifestyle magazine that counts the world's wealthiest tastemakers among its readership. Yeah.
