Ask Bruce Campbell Anything...

Posted by chrisd on from the eyeballs-on-my-shoulder-make-me-happy dept.

Bruce Campbell has a new book out (If Chins Could Kill) and I thought it would be fun for Slashdot to interview him in our charming, enigmatic way. Bruce should be familiar to you though such films as the Evil Dead (include Army of Darkness) and ,well, anything Sam Raimi has ever done. The book is a lot of fun. As usual, moderate up your favorite questions, and I'll pass on the highest scoring ones to Bruce so that he can reply to 8 or so. Bruce has a website for you to check it. It's got a FAQ and bio for you to examine.

    OK, I get it. Eight or so.

    Check out the URL given for the book. It ends in:

    bookinfo.asp?theisbn=0312242646&from=MJF138

    The last parameter makes it look like the sales link is passing on affiliate info, so that the story submitter is making cash from each transaction. Knock off "&from=MJF138" and you still get to the book page.

    I wonder how many sales will be made and how much commission chrisd will earn as a result of this slashdot post?

    In the context of a commercial site, is it proper to disclose that the content creators are profiting in this way?

    Would it be more appropriate for this site to choose a charity like the EFF and send affiliate commissions to them, when stories tied to products were run?

    This isn't a flame, even if it turns out that the submitter is making a packet of the fatbrain affiliate program. I just thought it was worth talking about.

    For the sake of being a curmudgeon, here's a link to the book at Amazon. It's a better site anway, it shows more info about the book, including interior pages.

    Says the guy posting to Slashdot. Saddest thing I've ever seen.

    You don't "bang" heroin, you "shoot" it, or "inject" it.

    Dammit! Where are my mod points now? This should be the question at the top of the list...

    ...you're saying that the highest moderated questions get passed on to Bruce, of which he will answer 8 or so?

    I'd hate not to be clear on this.
