He quickly gained notoriety after running competitions to find the country's randiest nanna, ugliest baby and teen mum of the year, and offering prizes of a boob job for your girlfriend, lesbian wedding and even euthanasia. Then he was suddenly deported to Australia to launch ZOO there, and events became even more outlandish. Find out how Merrill: attacked Tony Blair with a puppet lost 130,000 pairs of inflatable breasts in the South China Sea accidentally gave his home address to a serial killer tried to cook a dwarf threw a biscuit at Christopher Lee searched for the hottest horse dentist and sexiest wall. employed Mo Mowlam as a sex columnist was accused by the attorney general of trying to overthrow the government persuaded the Aussie prime minister's daughter to strip off was given advice on stain removal by Gordon Brown received death threats from enraged Islamists and a convicted killer Containing hundreds of bizarre and unexpected anecdotes, A Polar Bear Ate My Head is the most side-splitting insider's account of the world of magazines ever published.
