Thick as a Brick is the fifth studio album by Progressive Rock band Jethro Tull, released in 1972. Surprised that critics called Aqualung a concept album, bandleader Ian Anderson sought out to create "the mother of all concept albums" with Thick as a Brick. The album is supposedly an adaptation of an epic poem by a child prodigy named Gerald Bostock, who was disqualified from a poetry competition due to the offensive nature of the poem; in reality, all of the lyrics were written by Ian Anderson. Original copies were packaged with a parody newspaper giving more detail to the concept.

All There in the Manual: The fake newspaper packaged with the original album, which provides an in-universe background to the album and effectively serves as the liner notes. The "Poem" of much controversy is presented in full within the newspaper and acts as the lyric sheet for the piece.

Asians Eat Pets: One of the fake stories in the newspaper replicates the urban legend of a couple vacationing in Hong Kong who asks for their dog to be fed, but due to the Language Barrier, the waiter has the dog cooked and served to them.note Check page 4 here.
