Share this video to spread the word. Why? Because every cent we make supports charitable projects.
Providing water, sanitation, access to education and seeding sustainable agriculture across the world, in partnership with Oxfam.

To help us get the Good Books word out our amazing creative partners have developed this unique and literary way to tell the Good Books story.
A loving homage to the High Priest of Gonzo - and one of the most original talents ever to put ink to a page - Hunter S Thompson.
This is an entirely fictional and completely unendorsed representation. [Though we humbly suggest Hunter S might have liked it.] We are devoted fans paying homage. No disrespect is intended.

Yes! Because I remember when Thompson was about more than his craft. He always wanted to stop his never-ending pursuit for truth through words and he always wanted to be a spokesperson for a company. He was always about capitalism and free enterprise! Thank you for making us realize that stylization is more important than the ideals of one man! Don't forget that we only know Fear and Loathing. We never really cared for his other bullshit.

Hi there,

Hey distillingthyme

A reasonable critique. But Good Books is all about tapping into the capitalist value chain for communities in need. No one here is paid - all time/effort/ is donated. We kind of hope Hunter would have approved....the piece is a homage to him and his attitude.

ok that was cool but what the hell was he talking about. honestly can someone explain that minus the bong-water tea?

[prolow1]

He would have loved this for several reason's. First its fucking awesome and extremely well produced regardless of the recycled thompson-ish rhetoric. Second it's promoting a total non-profit that in no way actually uses his likeness to any direct benefit to anyone one group. If he was okay with the Uncle Duke bullshit (which ultimately he was) then why would he have a a problem with a highly stylized, diesel fueled cartoon that with hislikeness as a complete and total badass (which it does)
