No. Not for me. It's for Pudsey. That's right. Pudsey the dog. Who won Britain's Got Talent. His autobiography.
Has the world gone mad? Who on earth is going to read the autobiography of a dog? Even a dancing dog (who, let's face it, doesn't need the money)?
But wait. Pudsey will need a ghost writer (unless he's added literacy to his CV). So if Pudsey's publishers are looking for a volunteer, please please let it be me.
It's got to pay more than I earn. And I'm happy to prostitute my art if the money's right. Even for a dog.

The ghost writer will make a few bob. But the brains behind this scheme are going to be the real winners - at the expense of a gullible public for whom good taste and culture are utterly unknown factors.
ReplyDeleteThis is sooo depressing ...
Even more depressing for those of us who try to write proper books. I should have been born a dog!
DeleteErm, well, yes - I'd prostitute myself too. Fight you for it!
ReplyDeleteIt does make you worry about the future of mankind...
Anna :o]
Sorry, Anna. I got there first!
DeleteWords fail me. All I can do is shake my head in disbelief.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Meike.
DeleteJust think what Lassie could have earned had the world been so topsy turvy then.
ReplyDeleteYes. I think I just may go and train Titch to dance.
DeleteWell, you never know...
Hey why not get Titch to work with Pudsey? They would be a great double act, though I think Titch might outshine him...like Mr Ed the talking horse if I remember from my childhood.

Paula, Pudsey wouldn't last five minutes. Titch does not like dogs!
DeleteAt least one Whitehouse dog wrote a book.
ReplyDeleteDo you think this kind of thing will catch on? Oh Lord, I hope not!
