According to my inbox, it is now okay to start hawking books about the sordid details of Michael Jackson's life! I quote an e-mail marketing newsletter from a major publisher I got yesterday, entitled "From Cult Insanity to the Magic & Madness of M. Jackson's Life":
We were saddened to learn of the passing of Michael Jackson earlier this summer, and we knew that no one could cut through all of the tabloid rumors better than New York Times bestselling biographer, [redacted so as not to give free publicity], who worked through the night to bring you the whole story, with updated material from the star's last years...
He worked through
a whole night on it? What commitment. That's part of the first paragraph. The second may start out even funnier, though:
Yet Michael Jackson is only one of the fascinating people whose lives we bring to the forefront this summer.
...because even if he was the King of Pop, he has to share an online marketing newsletter with the rest of the frontlist. E-mail blasts are so
expensive these days.
