“Hi, you’ve reached Carl Elliott. If you’re Terry Gross, please leave a message. The rest of you can go suck it.”
Is that what he thinks?
What is he afraid of?
October 8th, 2010
Carl Elliott won’t agree to an interview with his brother. What is he afraid of? If you live in Minneapolis and have a camera phone, get him on video and make him explain why he doesn’t return phone calls. Send your videos to info@whitecoatblackhat.com
Dr. Chickenshit: What is Carl Elliott afraid of?
October 8th, 2010
Choking Chicken
Medcity. The Tom Mischke show. Pharmalot. NPR. The Wall Street freaking Journal. Seems like Carl Elliott is giving interviews to everybody these days — everybody except his own brother. You know, the one who set up a website for him, but still doesn’t have any web content to work with? We could polish off a phone interview in 30 minutes, but no. The emails are going unanswered, the phone calls are all going straight to voicemail. What is this guy afraid of?

A couple of these.  Might as well; can’t take them for free anymore, no sir.

What did you just call me?
. . . bizarre mistake in the book’s title on another website, but still think it’s funny.
We’ll never hear the end of this

Crap. We will never hear the end of this. The Times just reviewed the book. Ok, there, I posted the link. Happy?
And no, I will not be at Thanksgiving this year.

“I would like to thank my youngest brother, who got me started in philosophy and now sets up my websites with nothing to work with”
Yeah, would have killed you to write that.

White Coat, Black Hat
Two weeks after the book is released to the public, Carl Elliott’s web writer gets a copy. 2 weeks. On the plus side, it didn’t cost Dr. Elliott much to mail it.  Guess FedEx is for his buddies at Princeton, or wherever.

Dr. Carl Elliott, MD, PhD, BFD
Go to the homepage of the University of Minnesota’s Bioethics Center, and guess whose big, ugly, scowl is the first thing you see? Seriously, why couldn’t he smile like the other two guys? Our parents are going to love this. Don’t worry, I’ve got some software to take care of that . . . .

NZ Pig Hunter
Half a year’s subscription to New Zealand Pig Hunter magazine. “New Zealand’s most popular pig hunting magazine. It covers all aspects of pig hunting throughout NZ with some Australian and South Pacific content. It reviews the best hunting sites in New Zealand and will hold the interest of readers of all ages.”
Carl Elliott snubs Canadians

How Carl sees Canada
We already know that some marketers like to distance their products from certain clientele, to avoid possibly “tainting” the brand. That said, could this explain why White Coat, Black Hat is not on the shelves at a single outlet of Canada’s largest book retailer? A search on the Chapters/Indigo website turns up zero copies in store in Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver. Zip, zilch, nada.
The reason? Carl Elliott hates Canada. Can’t stand the place, doesn’t want any Canadians to be seen reading his book. And yes, this is bigoted. If you are Canadian, write him right now and demand to know why he hates Canada so much that he doesn’t want his book sold there. And for God’s sakes, don’t buy that book. Or, maybe buy the book and get photographed with it just to annoy him.  I don’t know; you decide.
Carl Elliott is the enemy of joy
September 22nd, 2010
Yeah, just joking. Fucker.
Every couple of days, I get one of these:
Hey, little bro. That’s a funny website you got. But . . . um, heh-heh . . . is that horse doo next to a review of my book? Um, not sure about that . . . are you sure people can tell this is satire? </snivel>
Satire. Yeah, that’s what this is: Satire. Zany, crazy, madcap hijinks. We write this stuff with a clown nose on. Nothing horseshitty about your book, no sir. And you wrote it all by yourself.
We love Carl Elliott

That Carl Elliott is a genius. A genius, that guy, and all his ideas are his own.
Happy now?
Another review

Horseshit
Another NPR station reviews Carl’s book. There must be at least 10-20 people who know about it now.
