NLN National Lampoon,

'Hello Junk Mail! is pure comedic genius.' -Jerry Seinfeld NEW YORK, Oct. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hello Junk Mail! (National Lampoon Press) is the latest work of Ted L. Nancy, author of the best-selling, cult classic series Letters From A Nut. Mr. Nancy's hilarious Letters From A Nut documented his correspondence with dignitaries and companies who took his outlandish ideas and suggestions at face value. In Hello Junk Mail! Nancy tackles one of the most vile evils of the modern age: junk mail & spam. The result: a comical collection of letters and responses that could only be generated by Ted L. Nancy. Writing with his neighbors, a newly arrived foreign family - the Kabobbys of Glendale - they answer scores of junk mail for termite offers, foot cures, & credit cards while telling the Junk Mailers of Hamooli Kabobby's B.O., his wife who rejects him, and his son with male breasts. "Dear Detrol Bladder Control," writes Nancy. "You say your side effects are dry mouth, headaches, constipation. Hey that is pretty good Saturday night for me. Respectfully, Bahir Kabobby" And the junk mailers wrote back! "Dear Bahir Kabobby, please keep a bladder diary ... fill it out and share it with your doctor." Along with the release of Hello Junk Mail! comes even more speculation and controversy surrounding the "real" identity of Ted L. Nancy. Is he now a family of foreigners living in a backyard in Glendale? Is he legendary comedian Jerry Seinfeld? When asked for a quote Jerry Seinfeld simply said, "Hello Junk Mail! is pure comedic genius." But that still doesn't answer the question as to the identity of Ted L. Nancy. Is Ted Hamooli Kabobby? Bahir Kabobby or strange family friend Coco LaBoy? Across the World Wide Web, the debate continues, as readers post their theories on blogs and message boards. Ted's Norwegian attorney, Eric Bjorgum, even had something to say regarding the matter: "The answer is yes. I was also told he is Barry Marder. There's even speculation that the Illustrator of the Ted books, Alan Marder, is the real Mr. Nancy. I have heard it's some woman named Phyllis. I am amazed at the popularity of this little man who's currently on Canadian knockoff drugs. I hope that clears things up." The one thing critics and readers can agree on is that Ted L. Nancy writes a really, really funny book. Undoubtedly, Hello Junk Mail! will become the most discussed and debated literary work of the modern age. You should probably cover it.
