Random House Australia recently made Survival of the Dumbest available as a free eBook download from their website to anyone from Oceania who sign up for the Random House Australia enewsletter. As part of the promotion, Survival of the Dumbest is also available to Stanza iPhone / iPod Touch users in Australia and New Zealand. Survival of the Dumbest is written by one of Australia's greatest live stand-up comedians, Wil Anderson. This free eBook promotion ends on July 31, 2009.
