Does This Book Trailer Go Too Far?

By Neal 

Honestly, I think the reaction to this video, which Brad Listi created to promote his books Attention Deficit Disorder and This Is What My Head Sounds Like online, is going to be mixed. Some people might find the premise—”buy these books to pay off my dog’s kidnappers”—darkly humorous, especially given the deliberately ironic sappy music; others may dismiss it as an emotionally exploitative ripoff of that old National Lampoon cover. But I’ll let you decide for yourself, by voting between now and 6 P.M. (Eastern) Monday night.

And, yes, Listi assures us, Walter’s perfectly fine.
