This’ll Be Great For Your Image
Wait a second. What’s that on your face? Is that doubt? Now is not the time to second guess me, buddy, believe me. I’m telling you, once we’re past this uncomfortable little “acute manic phase” part of the plan, you’ll be the name on everyone’s lips, the headline on every celebrity blog, and the toast of Crazy Town. Trust me.
Now this is it. We’ve done everything else we can do. We’ve got at least fifteen hookers ready to tell the press about your fast food mascot fetish. The network has already cancelled your show based on the audio of you calling your producer “the result of mole rat inbreeding” this morning. And if I’m right, your written statement denouncing them all as “a horrid little hive of Venusian sweat dwarves” should hit the Internet just as this television interview starts. We have got to make certain that you look as completely screwed up as possible without you slobbering all over yourself. It is absolutely critical we get this right, otherwise you’re just gonna end up another Hollywood crazy, got it?
Just remember your talking points. You are no longer some mere human actor. You have now become King Chow-Chow, ruler of gravy boats, and you will not be pushed around by those who do not have the Lumps of Destiny. You are NOT on drugs, but you are high with the righteousness that comes for the power of Awesome, which you get from drinking the tears of Alaskan crab fisherman. Together with your Pentax K-x Digital SLR with 18-55mm Kit Lens, you will be auditioning ladies for a new show on your own network that only people who are deemed worthy enough will see, which will be anyone with three million dollars.
Then immediately go into the features. Don’t let the reporter interrupt you. If she does, just get louder and louder as you explain the camera has a high resolution 12.4 megapixel CMOS image sensor with shake reduction, highly compact DSLR body, and the ability to capture widescreen HD video in full 720p resolution. Oh, don’t forget to cluck like a chicken somewhere in there. That’s key.
She’s gonna try to ask you what your next step is. When she does, tell her it’s up to the 18-55mm Lens Kit, then introduce it as “Larry, the only person that has never done me wrong.” Then ask it what it thinks and act like you’re waiting for it to answer. Wait a looooong time. If she tries to stop you, take the mayonnaise packet you have in your pocket, pop it in your fist, and begin spreading it all over your face while repeating “I’m so pretty” over and over. Do that until she leaves.
Okay, buddy? Okay? Look, I know this is a lot, but I’m your publicist. You gotta trust me. Come next week, you’ll be sitting pretty. Just try not to get any mayo on that camera, alright? You do and I’ll take it out of your 18 million dollar book deal.
