I have always trusted you
If I can do it you can too
What I do is my concern
Now you’re just gonna have to learn
It ain’t none of your business where I’m goin’
It ain’t none of your business who I’m seein’
It ain’t none of your business what I’m doin’
It ain’t none of your business
Missing Persons ~ It Ain’t None Of Your Business
I spotted this over at Mrs Giggles and had to check it out. The New York Times had an article on Self Publishing and quoted Lulu.com’s owner saying… Oh, just read it yourself…
Robert Young, chief executive of Lulu Enterprises, based in Raleigh, N.C., a majority of the company’s titles are of little interest to anybody other than the authors and their families. “We have easily published the largest collection of bad poetry in the history of mankind,” Mr. Young said.
Now that to me sounds like big old heaping bowl of truth there. I am sure he will be castigated severely for actually saying it though. Shame on you! *heh*

It reminds me of the “Prawn Sandwich” scandal when the owner of Ratners – one of the biggest cut-price jewellry stores in the UK – gave an interview where he said
“We also do cut-glass sherry decanters complete with six glasses on a silver-plated tray that your butler can serve you drinks on, all for £4.95. People say, “How can you sell this for such a low price?” I say, because it’s total crap.”
and… “cheaper than an M&S prawn sandwich but probably wouldn’t last as long.”
His comments wiped £500m from the company’s valuation. Oops.
