    Content: A blood stained shower curtain, a lighter that shows an airplane about to collide with the Twin Towers, plush slippers shaped like penises: the world of commodities today is marked by stylistic diversity, irony, and trash - there are no limits on so-called bad taste. This book attempts to get to the bottom of the current fascination with the disgusting, the grotesque, and the provocative. Products from the most disparate realms are juxtaposed on facing pages. The result is confrontations that are sometimes surprising, with a fascination all their own. Introductory essays by prominent authors shed additional light on wide-ranging aspects of design, morality, and irony. It is not just tasteless items that are placed under the microscope; politically incorrect ones have their place in this volume as well.
    Content: Ein blutverschmierter Duschvorhang, ein Feuerzeug, das ein Flugzeug im Anflug auf die Twin Towers zeigt, plüschige Penis-Puschen: Die heutige Warenwelt ist geprägt von Stilvielfalt, Ironie und Trash - dem sogenannten schlechten Geschmack sind keine Grenzen gesetzt. Dieses Buch geht der seltsamen Faszination des Skurrilen, Ekligen und Provokanten auf den Grund. Dabei stehen nicht nur Geschmacklosigkeiten auf dem Prüfstand, auch politisch unkorrekte Dinge finden in diesem Buch ihren Platz. Auf Doppelseiten werden Produkte aus den unterschiedlichsten Bereichen einander gegenübergestellt - die teils überraschenden Konfrontationen entwickeln dabei einen ganz eigenen Reiz. Einführende Essays renommierter Autoren wie Volker Albus beleuchten zusätzlich verschiedene Aspekte rund um das Thema Design, Moral und Ironie.
