So, is this the single best piece of underground satire produced in the 20th Century or not? Discuss.
Also, this copy (pic related) is shit.

i remember seeing this on the net when I was a teenager, maybe a decade a go or more. Is it really satire? I got the impression it was at least partly serious, if having a sense of humor about itself.

When I read it, I took it as quite the satire. There are people who ironically follow it as a sort of religion much like the church of the flying spaghetti monster and then there are just the plain nutters.
it was pretty out there in 1968. today, it comes off as deliberately whacky, a lot like "katie the spork of doom".
it also assumes that you're a typical sixties american robot. i hate it when people play the trickster archetype while assuming you haven't seen it a thousand times before and you might even know the jokes better than them.

well the title is nearly an oxymoron
Church of the SubGenius is way better imo
KEK is a product of Operation Mindfuck.

i wouldn't call it a satire as much as i would call it fnord

Its one of the great outsider novels written before the advent of the internet. The amount of work that went into it was rather staggering considering all those collages were hand made and almost entirely collected from other magazines or nicked from government agencies.
