Comments on: What Was He Thinking? http://www.slushpile.net/index.php/2007/08/17/what-was-he-thinking/ Writing about writing Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:54:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Scott at Slushpile.net http://www.slushpile.net/index.php/2007/08/17/what-was-he-thinking/comment-page-1/#comment-236175 Scott at Slushpile.net Tue, 21 Aug 2007 00:51:55 +0000 http://www.slushpile.net/index.php/2007/08/17/what-was-he-thinking/#comment-236175 You might be right. I have friends in Hollywood who say that film producers will often sign a troubled star like Lindsay Lohan specifically for the fact that her ability to get into the headlines and tabloids guarantee a mention of the film for months. Although, Oprah fans are so dedicated, that they most assuredly would band together to <em>not</em> but the book simply because of his underhanded ploy. So I'm not sure who he thought was going to be enticed by this crazy strategy. Oh well, it gives us something to chat about, I suppose. You might be right.

I don't think that 'no publicity is bad publicity' but maybe this guy does... an equivalent of flaming in an internet discussion forum, just to get a reaction... maybe he didn’t think he was going to get away with it but knew it would generate a lot of publicity and be mentioned throughout the literary blog/internet world…. like it has been here… I don’t think that ‘no publicity is bad publicity’ but maybe this guy does… an equivalent of flaming in an internet discussion forum, just to get a reaction…
