The Litter Guy, Uglies and the Happy Ending Foundation hoax

DateSaturday, October 6, 2007 at 6:38PM
Marc the Litter Guy


I was on my way to meet Luisa for dinner last night when I ran into the fellow above. Read more about Marc the Litter Guy in my blogTO post. I happened to have my DSLR with my Sigma 30/1.4 lens because I knew I wanted to take pics at Penelope. My Toronto friends have all been very patient about my taking pics of everyone's meal before we start eating. :-)

Uglies - by Scott Westerfeld


Above: Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. Recently finished this book for young people and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's one of the books I picked up during my Rochester visit. Ironic how it ties into the recent fashion and body consciousness discussion.



Yesterday I mentioned an article about a woman who was campaigning against kids' books that didn't have happy endings. Well, it turns out that Adrienne Small, Clare Hughes and the Happy Endings Foundation were all part of an elaborate hoax, a marketing ploy by ArtScience to promote the Lemony Snicket books (A Series Of Unfortunate Events).

I've posted my response to this in Inkygirl: Happy Ending Foundation / Lemony Snicket hoax: In Poor Taste?.
