Remember When...: The Funniest Book with the Word "Millennium" on the Cover Book

"Billy" is the disguise Geerhart uses to ask favors and seemingly childlike and naive (but often insensitive and mean-spirited) questions of unsuspecting famous people ranging from political leaders to convicted serial killers. The author relies on the honesty and vulnerability of the people he targets for his "humor." He's lying, and then laughing at people and publishing their responses when they believe his lies. This is similar to "Borat" except Billy is out-and-out deceiving his victims and often using sensitive elements of these well-known people's histories to hurt them. What Geerhart calls funny, I call cruel.
