American Cheat-ol

May 28, 2009

AT&T may have influenced the American Idol votes.

The Cheater says: Nice!
Let’s see, a corporation might have done something to get publicity for their new product…
which might’ve influenced the secret voting for a TV popularity contest to determine which of two kids gets to go from zero to millionaire in 5 weeks, based on the judgments of a music producer, the guy who owns the rights to the show, and Paula Abdul…
all of which increased publicity and longevity – and thus earning power – for the product, the TV show, the judges, and both contestants?
Sounds like everybody’s getting rich cheating.
How very “American” of “Idol.”

Another review

May 21, 2009

“Is Get Rich Cheating – The Crooked Path to Easy Street by Jeff Kreisler a humor book, prescient, or a Wall Street / Washington user’s manual? It is all three… If you know someone who is outraged by the financial nightmare caused by Wall Street, Big Business, the Bush “administration”, and any politician in Washington or in jail, Get Rich Cheating will probably make them laugh, Kreisler is that funny.”
– The Reviews Page (read it all here)

The Cheater Says: Excellent. I’ve fooled them all!

Entitle-cheats

May 20, 2009

Drugmaker Wyeth alleged to have cheated Medicaid

The Cheater Says: Duh. Entitlements have your money.
Programs like Medicaid are a great source of cheatable money: Who’s gonna deny Grandma treatment, even if Grandma doesn’t exist? No one.
Bureaucracy is what make these programs so cheatable. Ever talked to your right hand and realized it had no idea what your left hand was doing? Well, that’s what the entitlement system is like, and – for the wise cheater – both hands can be giving you money.

Review on The Serious Comedy Cheat

May 19, 2009

The Serious Comedy Site seriously “looooves” Get Rich Cheating.

“I loooove Get Rich Cheating. When do I get my kickback? …
“Conspiracy theory 234-980-A: Everybody on Wall Sleaze, in Washington, and the Bush thunk tank read an underground version of Get Rich Cheating by Jeff Kreisler…
“Get Rich Cheating is as good an explanation as any as to why the U.S., its government, large corporations, and just about any financial institution you can name are in the financial shitter. Get Rich Cheating is a fun, light read how to book on how to make a dishonest buckillion with a dishonest tenth of a day’s work…
“Short chapters, a good eye for the financially absurd, and a convivial writing style make this humor book a great airport / summer vacation read.”

Thanks Richard, and hey, you got a free book… that’s sorta getting rich cheating.

Maur-cheat-n Dowd

Columnist Maureen Down Plagiarized A Little Skoosh

The Cheater Says: Plagiarism is great!
How else can the run-of-the-mill columnists and reporters grab attention? Whether they create a sensational story or they get caught, they get in the news, raise their profiles, get book deals, speakers fees, and HuffPo columns… and eventually get rich.
It’s the American/Jayson Blair/Mike Barnicle way.

Leftover Cheats

May 18, 2009

Some leftovers from last week, while I try to ease into this week, 7 hours late…

AIG’s chairman asked for patience as it overhauls the company
The Cheater Says: Three to five years should be long enough to repay bailout money and/or get a nice house on an extradition friendly island.

“A leader of veterans is exposed as a fraud”
The Cheater Says: Manipulate vulnerable people in a way that shocks the conscience?
Cha ching!

Sarah Palin got a book deal.
The Cheater Says: Ah, politics and publicity, together again. If she can just plagiarize major portions of the book while taking steroids and selling her state’s pension fund, she’ll have a real winner.

Etcetera Etcetera Etcetera

“Doctor’s Study of Injured G.I.’s Made False Claims, Army Says”
“Lawyer Pleads Guilty in $400 Million Fraud Scheme”
“Former Executive at Monster Guilty”
and, of course,
Craigslist to remove “erotic services” ads… (That’s a different type of cheating).

Thanks CNBCheat!

May 15, 2009

CNBC.com’s “Bullish On Books” likes my book!

The Cheater Says: Of course they do. Tip to aspiring cheaters: Write* a book** and make millions***
* “Write” means in the Jayson Blair/James Frey totally made up and stolen style.
** “Book” means 150 point font and lots of unlicensed pictures to reach your publisher’s page minimum. No substance!
*** “Millions” means millions.

p.s. Thanks to Gloria McDonough-Taub at CNBC.com

Cheat-play

May 13, 2009

“Coldplay Accused Of Plagiarism… Again.”

The Cheater Says: Huzzah! Stealing ideas is a great way to make it rich… especially if you steal ’em from people too broke and obscure to make a fuss, i.e. other musicians.
Allegedly, Led Zepplin stole from unknown blues artists, Avril Lavigne and Miley Cyrus from untalented hacks, and I’m pretty sure “Oops, I did it again” was a rip-off of my 1984 cult classic, “Dangit, I spilled all over myself.”
