@zizek_ebooks. I don't think I need to say anything more.

I don't agree. If I click on that link, will I see dead babies? If not, then what?

Sorry. It's a Twitter account that quotes Zizek in the style of @horse_ebooks. Two topics that seem to fly through MeFi on a weekly basis.

I don't get it.

OK, that's a good start. Who is Zizek?

Oh yeah? Well, @minecraftebooks, so there.

I was really hoping for downloadable audio books by Zizek, read by Zizek.

His accent is delightful.

I was expecting the first @horse_ebooks spinoff to be @mylittlepony_ebooks.

Or maybe @muppet_ebooks, @doctorwho_ebooks or (shudder) @newt_ebooks

Mm. Does not ring true. Satire fails. Try again, internet.

It doesn't all work, but "Gandhi was more violent than Hitler" gave me the lulz.

Where is the eBook Borat of our time? North Korea? I DON'T THINK SO.

Don't worry. It's @zizek_ebooks, not @cormac_mccarthy_ebooks.

Apart from apples, pears, and grapes, there should be a place for fruits as such
Take Big Brother and the Jade Goody story.
The Mask is thus the a-sexual “partial object” which allows the subject to remain in the pre-Oedipal anal-oral universe

This isn't very different from reading Zizek the normal way.

It makes more sense once you have listened to zizek talk. I recommend his RSA lecture. I'd describe his lecturing style as fractal.
