In this uproarious and wicked cult-classic, Southern skewers American greed and pomposity Guy Grand, an eccentric billionaire prankster, is abundant enough to do whatever he likes. And what he likes is to carefully perform tasks where he can cauterize by ridicule what all of those other world ignores: Complacency, greed, corruption, and idiocy. Decided to "make it hot for people," Grand spends his billions staging some amusing, sometimes bewildering stunts, lampooning along the way the North american holy cows of money, status, power, beauty, multimedia, and stardom. Concocting deliciously perverse mayhem, he throws a million one-hundred-dollar bills into a massive vat of steaming offal, proving precisely what people will do for money, and he promotes a fresh silky shampoo that turns wild hair to line and a deodorant that becomes a time-released stench-bomb. He inserts subliminally suggestive and perverse images into well-loved typical films, requires a howitzer on safari, and brings a panther to a kennel golf club dog show. His most sophisticated adventure is an ultra-exclusive sail aboard the S.S. Magic Religious, where elite passengers are cared for to some madcap indignities. The Magic Religious is a amusing and savagely satiric view of North american commercialism, abundant with Southern's deft handling of aspect, dialogue, and delightful deviancy.
