@NYCF: I think if enough money were on the table Regan would do the deed without the help of any special effects at all. Supposing of course that Wilt the Stilt was embalmed Lenin-style.

@backslider: Yes, but would they pay to see Wilt fuck the battleaxe? [A little CGI magic would be involved, naturally.]

@atipofthehat: It's because Brett Ellis is gay.

It's not the lack of integrity that's so disgusting, it's the lack of business sense. No one outside of New York knows or cares who Judith Regan is. No one. Hell, if you guys did one of those gawker "man on the street" interviews in front of your office, I bet no more than one in 10 people asked will have a clue. Nor should they. Judith Regan sold books because she understood that regular Americans don't give a fuck about literature or New York or being smart. They want to read Howard Stern's autobiography, or Rush Limbaugh's or lessons on being a porn star. They don't care if some old battle axe in New York fucks like Wilt Chamberlain and they won't go see a movie about it.

Just making sure we all know this very mediocre book was one of the pilot projects of those marketing schemes where people get the product to just carry around and tell friends without getting paid to do so.

Just realized the irony, as it's about the lack of integrity in publishing.

Ever notice that Bret Easton Ellis hasn't aged since the '80s, while Jay McInerney becomes ever more "withered, wrinkled, and loathsome of visage"?

Quick, sign up Julia Allison for the lead! They can always "old" her up.

Also, if she doesn't have a rendering of Rodin's La Porte de l'Enfer tattooed around her foxhole, it's not Judith Regan.

Don't tell me, let me guess. . .Judith's teeth touch the Harry Dick, too, and their baby launches and goes straight to video.

Did she swoosh her cape over head and flap off toward the moon after the dick-touching and teeth baring? Because if not, it's not Judith Regan.

@dirtydeer: I'm pretty sure that's what she did at her Vassar interview.

Well, if in the next scene she whips out her own dick and slams it on the table, then yeah, I'd say it's Regan.

In the book, isn't the character's name Judith Krugman?

Either way, it's good to know that at least the fictional media industry is still 100-percent Jewish.

Also, she sort of looks like a Hope Davis action figure in that picture.

(I have all the collectibles from The Secret Lives of Dentists.)
