      Yeah, so what. A thin book of a celebrity is actually more likely to be vapid bullshit, unless it's a biography (and they ramble about their whole lives). And if there are photos in it, as this is a travel book, it's a plus that they're of good quality. You're not really bright.

    I like how after he really starts complaining about being in the parking lot and how Charles Dickens wouldn't be there, it pans to the sign that says "I'd rather be anywhere but here".
    Then again, it's not like it takes a psychic to tell that Karl would hate doing something like this.

    Karl, Charles Dickens was a super star during his time. He would practice his stage readings in front of a mirror in the hotel lobby and charge people to watch. So he would have loved doing what you did here. Keep on going strong man. Congratulations on the book and keep on Traveling and or doing what you love best.

    @rbeck3200tb40 10 років тому +13

    Why did they put Karl in a tiny trailor in the parking lot of that ASDA store ? He should have been inside of the store in the front where everyone can see him. In the US when there are book signings or events like that they usually setup a small area inside the store so everyone there knows whats going on. Most people who didnt glance up at the small sign didnt knwo who was hidden inside the trailor. Thats just stupid
