Modern life: advertorials, obscenely cheerful breakfast TV hosts, celebrity chefs, call centres, smiling charity collectors. Brands, highly effective people, misuses of the word ′creative′.

Performance reviews, people who say ′I′m not racist, but ... ′, sushi bars and the Taliban.

Alexander Downer.

Water-cooler moments.

Yellow stickers.

Fridge magnets.

Mark Dapin can complain -- and does -- about almost everything. In Fridge Magnets are Bastards, he′s tried to contain his rants about the things that annoy him to a list of 141 -- in alphabetical order. Why? Just to be irritating.

A book for anyone who′s ever gnashed their teeth over contemporary stupidity.

Author Biography: Mark Dapin is the author of Sex & Money, a memoir of the time he spent working on men′s magazines. He is a feature writer and fortnightly columnist for Good Weekend magazine and claims to be one of only two people in the world to have worked for both Ralph and The Australian Financial Review. Born in the UK, Mark moved to Australia in 1989. Apart from a couple of years in the print industry, he has been a journalist all his working life. Before that, he was a hopeless failure.
