''Why I Want to Fuck Ronald Reagan'' is a short work by dystopian English author J.G. Ballard, first published as a pamphlet by the Unicorn Bookshop, Brighton, in 1968.〔 It was later collected in ''The Atrocity Exhibition''. It is written in the style of a scientific paper and catalogues an apocryphal series of bizarre experiments intended to measure the psychosexual appeal of Ronald Reagan, who was then the Governor of California and candidate for the 1968 Republican presidential nomination. ==History== Ballard himself was inspired by the then-new phenomenon of "media politicians" and in his preface to the 1990 edition of ''The Atrocity Exhibition'', explained: A bookseller who sold the pamphlet was charged with obscenity. In 1970, the pamphlet was added as an appendix to Doubleday's first American edition of ''The Atrocity Exhibition'', which was destroyed prior to release.〔 At the 1980 Republican National Convention in Detroit, a copy furnished with the seal of the Republican Party was distributed by ex-Situationists to the RNC delegates. According to Ballard, it was accepted for what it resembled: a psychological position paper on the candidate's subliminal appeal, commissioned by a think-tank.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Why I Want to Fuck Ronald Reagan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
