James Frey and Oprah: Misty Water-Colored Memories
The paper chasers over at The Smoking Gun are venturing into the wild world of print with The Dog Dialed 911: A Decade of the World's Most Dogged Investigative Reporting, a book of random and ridiculous documents organized into lists ("4 Early Eminem Hits," "11 Things a Teacher Should Never Say to His Students"). This image appears under the list "1 Sentiment No Longer Held," with the following explanation:
During his first visit with Oprah Winfrey, author James Frey signed books for members of the talk show host's studio audience. As reflected in his inscription, love was in the Chicago air that 2005 day. Of course, a few months later the duo's relationship famously cooled when the A Million Little Pieces author was revealed to be a sniveling little liar.
Just imagine how many similarly autographed pieces of irony are floating around used bookstores.
