Given the amount of reality shows that have been exposed for their deceptive means, and often by their own cast and crew, it's blatantly obvious that Gerry assembled a team of lawyers equivalent to O.J.'s Dream Team and forced everyone who appeared in Celebrity Soup to sign contracts with iron-clad "this deception can never leave this library we are pretending is a bookstore because no bookstore wanted to be associated with us" clauses.

If not, I bet we'd be seeing lots of blog posts, and maybe even a Cracked article, all about what really went on at that library that was very clearly not a bookstore and learn things such as how the little girl who proudly exclaimed, "She signed my book," only did so after she was promised a shopping spree at Toys 'R Us and was told that Gloria was the author of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

I myself would love to get an exclusive interview with the mother who claimed that 7 Bridges was one of the only books she could get her daughter to read. My first question to her would be: "Since appearing in Celebrity Soup, how many times have you blown a guy in a McDonalds parking lot in exchange for a McDouble?"

If you blow a guy for a McDouble, maybe you just like blowing guys.
 
It seems to be rather busy when it comes to the trademark registration.

First they had it lapsed

Then it is being registered again yet for some reason it currently is in Non Final Status since 26 09 2016 awaiting some things. So far nothing has happened.

Anybody with any insight how long registration processes usually take?

So any word on her newest book?

I am totally excited to see it- I wonder where she gets all these ideas from!

To make Maradonia great at all, you'd have to kill every living creature outside of the Evil Empire, as everyone else who opens their mouth is self-gratifying autist, including the animals.

Indeed. The Evil Empire has great dialogue like "The failure to prepare... is the preparation to fail." In case you forgot, I'll say it again. "The failure to prepare... is the preparation to fail."

Funny how in the books it's Joey who winds up saying these things.

But I've always been reminded of the movie "Mystery Men" when somebody says something like that. Character of The Sphinx was full of those things, "master your fear or fear shall become your master". It's an attempt a Buddhist Koan and failing miserably.

Interesting. Personally, it seems like one of those things that sounds pleasant and profound, until you actually think about it for a bit.

Like, off the the top of my head, the key to preparing a list is to list what you need to prepare.

That's exactly it. It's sometimes referred to as an "Ice Cream Koan". Whereas a Buddhist Koan is a saying meant to encourage contemplation much like the oft repeated, "what is the sound of one hand clapping" from the original Japanese which read, "Two hands clap and there is sound. What is the sound of one hand?"

What we get in this book is attempts to sound deep but just come up kinda empty.

Yeah, that's about what you get but sometimes Glo-Glo likes to mix it up. "Dreams are the touchstones of our character". What does it mean? Absolutely nothing but Glo Glo thought it sounded deep so there you are.

I don't remember telling you to do that.

I love that movie.
 
We absolutely need to put Maradonia quotes into this fortune cookie database for the website's upper right corner:

* "History rewritten in bloodstain"

* "At the end of the age, when the two silver birds attack the twin brothers..."

* "Go for the kill! GO FOR THE KILL!!"

* "The failure to prepare is the preparation to fail."

* "They're just children. Stupid children. Without any PPP!owers or knowledge. We have the power to blow their brains from their skulls in a moment of time."

* "This kid's a multi-billion-dollah industry!"
