More like a red rag to a bull than a red flag; the infuriating attempts of British publishers and critics to hail books as "hilarious" that aren't particularly so: "The Black Death and the European Catastrophe" - "hilarious" - The London Blatherer; "The Holocaust" - "hilarious" - The London Evening B*llsh*tter.
Ok, I made these up but you get my meaning.
Anything that involves American high school teenagers, Vampires, chick lit and bodice rippers.
Anything written by John Grisham.
