While I don't think his PR minions did him any good at all (quite the reverse in fact), I do agree that he's his own worst publicity, every time I see him on camera I can barely restrain myself from shouting foul imprecations at the screen. I'm a fairly volatile person (especially when it comes to shouting at screens), so I expect most people will have a less extreme reaction, but I imagine it will still be there.
That drawling, patronising, dismissive, "I'm so much more in the know than you, peon" attitude may go down a storm in the US, but in the UK, not so much.
Good work on the interview Alexander, I'd love to see the whole thing, that interviewer chap looked like he was going to faint at the end.
I'd have to watch it again, and I can't just now (because I have to go out and deal with the fact that I have accidentally melted my bank card into an interesting shape) but I think there is a moment in the whole pony adverts section where KE disses his own business model while trying to suggest that pony leakage is likely to be minimal. Doesn't he imply (in fact, I think he actually says it) that in fact the ads won't be all
that relevant (as many of us have suspected all along) as an explanation of why pony confidentiality will be maintained?
I kind of missed it, because I was full of Kent inspired bile, and he was talking over the interviewer, displaying the cultured manners with which we have come to associate him, but I'm sure it's there.
Possibly be worth doing a transcript, if I'm not imaging it.
