Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs is the manifesto for a youth gone wild with hatred and love for that which they are bombarded with, i.e. pop culture and media. Using the same memoir/deconstructive style he employed with Fargo Rock City, Chuck explores all of the things that most of us dismiss (intellectually, at least). John Cusack is to blame for Chuck’s lack of romantic satisfaction. Internet porn totally baffles him. Reality television peeves him off to no end, which is why he can’t stop watching it. The Dixie Chicks are the new Van Halen because teenage girls are the new teenage boys. And, under no circumstances, would Chuck make for a benevolent God. Each topic is connected by small passages that pull together a massive cultural quilt, one that Chuck has stitched to “playfully help people understand what they know through who they are.” Well, whatever he’s trying to do, it makes for a non-stop good time.
