Over- exposed

I impulse-bought a chair from a second-hand shop at the weekend, the shop man made his son carry it home for me. This provided a much-needed comedy bonus - the boy's trousers were fashionably slung below his bottom and both his arms were fully occupied with the chair, no matter how wide the boy made his bow-legged waddle, the trousers sank repeatedly to the floor.


Then we had lots more exposure last week when all the British newspapers suddenly started publishing photographs that were taken during filming trips in Africa:

Just two newspapers had a reporter check facts about the images which were provided by a photo library with our contact details for further information. one of those reporters bothered to take notes.

The Daily Mail made some interesting stuff up which resulted in some surprisingly abusive comments on the online article.

The images were made when this film was being filmed.

  2. Not only does the lack of fact checking not surprise me in the least, but the abusive comments are just par for the course as well. I haven't seen a single article online, no matter how benign, that didn't have at least a few awful comments tagged on. The people who make a hobby of commenting on articles are truly the bottom of the internet barrel.

    The pictures are lovely though.

  6. Sounds like the boy carrying the chair was a great crack. Hope he didn’t make an arse of himself.
    Good luck with the publicity stuff.

    All the best, Boonie

  7. Well, they're splendid pictures!

    (Expecting accuracy of The Daily Mail shows an unexpected insincerity of purpose.)

  12. Who works for newspapers? Reporters. Who becomes reporters? The kids who couldn't get into law school. Or even teacher's college. And where is the paper printed? Bullshitistan.
