Photo Contest – Entry #2

November 16th, 2010

From the political to the scatalogical: Here is our next entry in the White Coat, Black Hat photo contest.

Hi there, I’m happy to see that at least one person shows what Carl Elliott really stands for. He just whines and whines about our products, but as the number 1 sales-agent of Immodium in Minnesota, I know perfectly well he uses our products when the need is there. Here is where I found his book.

This evening, we received our first submission to the photo contest. An outstanding beginning!

I will post these as they arrive, but I will leave out contestant’s names unless they specifically tell me otherwise. That way, you can feel free to be as ruthless as you like.

Announcing the White Coat Black Hat Photo Competition

November 13th, 2010
Photo competition

Smile, asshole!

Inspired by the excellent photo that showed up after Carl Elliott’s Asheville reading,  the White Coat, Black Hat website is happy to announce its first contest.   Readers are invited to send us their most creative and insulting images of Carl Elliott and/or his book, White Coat, Black Hat.  Whether you find an interesting new placement for the book, or do a photoshop job on his cheesy promo pics, show Carl what you really think of him and his half-assed collection of stolen ideas.

Send your submissions to info@whitecoatblackhat.com. Deadline is November 30.  No constraints; any image is ok with me.  Hell, if you want to shove  that book down a woodchipper and put it on youtube, that qualifies too.

Favorites will be posted on the website.  And the prize?  Well, you could opt for a free copy of that piece of shit book, or much better, you can have your choice of any of the alternatives I’ve suggested for the same price (well, any except the Ambien).   If you choose a horse head mask over Carl’s book, then so much the better.

More Ghostwriting

November 12th, 2010

pitchman

“Hey, everybody, check out my Atlantic article. It’s in the Atlantic, did you hear?  I got an article in the Atlantic.  It’s a chapter from my book.  Did you know I wrote a book? Go to Amazon and buy my book. Or Chapters. It’s there too!  Oh, yeah, and did you know I write for the Atlantic? I should put my Atlantic article on my website!”

OK, fine, I’ll post the goddamn link again.  Happy?

Ghostwriters. Yeah, I feel their pain. I’d hate to spend my days writing just to see some tenured fucker at a university get all the glory.  Hey wait . . . .

Don’t mess with Canada

November 9th, 2010

Sorry for our brief shutdown last night. Our server crashed under the weight of all the traffic from angry Canadians, furious over rumours of Carl Elliott’s disrespecting Canada. Carl has cancelled his remaining Canadian dates, claiming he has the “flu” (Walk it off, crybaby!).

Meanwhile, a movement is afoot to have a public burning of White Coat, Black Hat in front of the parliament buildings in Ottawa.  Except for one problem: YOU CAN’T GET IT IN THE BOOKSTORES THERE.  Seriously, check the Chapters website and see how many copies are in the stores.

So instead, Canadians will have to vent their anger by checking out copies from their local public library, burning them and reporting them lost.

"Would you say that to Walker Percy?"

"Would you say that to Walker Percy?"

Carl Elliott condescends to speak with the CBC, despite his clear hatred of all things Canadian.  Man, what a dick.  Check out the recording on Quirks and Quarks.

"Dude, you have no White Coat, Black Hat"

"Dude, you have no White Coat, Black Hat"

Another way to make things interesting at Carl Elliott’s Nov. 8 event at Malaprop’s in Asheville, NC:  Take a page from Jacob Isom’s book:  “Dude, you have no White Coat, Black Hat“.

Dr. Elliott is right-handed.

Another chance to show the love

Thank you sir, may I have another?

Whack!

Whack!

The word is out.  We have a consensus:  Carl Elliott’s book is not worth reading.  Hot on the heels of a negative review of a review, another review of those two reviews declares: “I think I’ll pass on White Coat, Black Hat

The book, based on those two articles and another positive review I recently read seems to be anything but a balanced treatment of the issue. In fact, it comes across as a knee-jerk, intellectually lazy collection of anecdotes designed to appeal to popular animosity against the pharmaceutical industry.

Outstanding. That’s $25.00 of your money saved. But haven’t we been saying that all along?

Get the belt!

Get the belt!

BOO-YAH!  Guess who gets a spanking on the Policy and Medicine Blog?  Check this:

Since Elliott thinks he does not have “any moral expertise more than anybody else,” then why did he write the book? Is he donating the proceeds to ensure that people without insurance can get healthcare? No.

Yowza! Sullivan wisely chose to review another review, rather than wasting money on the book – which, as we all know, would only encourage him. Disappointing, though, that the writer failed to credit this blog’s groundbreaking work in destroying Carl’s credibility. He should get in touch; we’ve got plenty of ideas.

You Lie!

"You Lie!"

Next on the list of ideas for how to make things interesting  at Carl’s October 26 reading: How about   showing the love South Carolina style?  Shout “you lie!” as soon as you get a chance.

An Olive Branch

October 21st, 2010

Hello, Carl Elliott, this is your brother.  I just thought I’d reach across the airwaves and the years, and give you the opportunity to apologize for stealing my ideas and exploiting my generosity.  Certainly pray over it, and spend some time thinking about why you did what you did.

On second thought, fuck it.  Nevermind, that was percocet talking.  See you in hell, asshole.

Air Horn.  $8 from Bait 'n Hook

$8 from Bait 'n Hook

Thanks to the stunning success of White Coat, Black Hat, Carl Elliott is now permitted to give public readings in his own employer’s bookstore, instead of on the sidewalk in front of his house.  Look for him October 26 at 4:00 pm at the University of Minnesota bookstore.

We are now soliciting ideas on how to show our “appreciation” of his ideas, and to make the event “interesting” for all involved.  Here’s a start. 8 bucks from Bait ‘n hook.

Dr. BFD goes macho

"Go ahead. Cry."
“Go ahead –  Squirt a few.”

Jack Handey once said:  “it takes a big man to cry, but it takes an even bigger man to laugh at that man.”

Is that what you think, Dr. BFD?  Nice going.  Next time, maybe you can bounce a basketball off somebody’s head.

Great.  Another sermon from the well-paid Dr. BFD about exploiting poor people.   Next Sunday, how about one on exploiting your own family members?

Finally! Dr. Chicken Gets the Grill

October 11th, 2010

Grilled ChickenAfter weeks of dodging his brother’s phone calls, Carl Elliott finally sat down for an interview. No more pansy softball questions; this time he has to answer the tough ones. Read the full text here.

Thanks to everyone who responded to our video-stalking challenge.  I’m pretty sure it did the trick.
