Canada Reads 2008- A Geek's Mission, Part 3

I love this. At the Canada Reads website, Kate Veinotte writes, "let's all admit that we've heard enough from this John Mutford, will we?" Sweet. Negative attention is still attention. Don't they teach that in first-year marketing? Should I be concerned that they're only posting this sort of comment? Nah.

(Okay, maybe just a little.)

No such thing as bad press right?

All publicity is good as long as they spell your name right.

Allison, I just wish they'd show a little more of those that were sent in in my favour. Not all of them mind you, but enough to keep the bad stuff in check.

Fearless, I'd giggle my way through that if I was sitting across from him. The whole time I'd be thinking, "What's the point? He's never going to surrender." If they do rock/pop personalities again, Jane Siberry/Issa could be interesting. Maybe not as funny as Corey Hart, but pretty out there.

Barbara, speaking from experience? Or making a joke about spelling Corey wrong? In any case, they could spell it Jim Moleford as long as they put me on the air!

Actually I have no clue how Mr Hart spells his name, but you just know he's going to be wearing his sunglasses at night.
