Pulling the rug: on being Shatnered upon
It's fun to deadpan over fluff puffed by random publicistas, but then sometimes you get misconscrewed without the courtesy of a reacharound, such as The Case of "The Official William Shatner DVD Club." I quoted from their press release back in December and now find their nubby prose being boldly cited on their site and merch as if the lingua were Movie City Indie's (and Movie City News') very own seed pearls. The blog Heart On A Stick, as linked above, digs deep into the soul of the 75-year-old Canadian idol and writes, "Not only did Shatner's club quote one of its own press releases and attribute it to someone else, the quote they pulled from the release was one supposedly from Shatner himself.No one loves William Shatner like William Shatner does." Gentlemen: a hairpiece can be comical, but a lie is no joke.
