>>629 The boy is always hustling. We saw that in 2016: never-ending promo tour, never-ending showmance, DEFCON 2 with fans to recoup goodwill lost in Storm Tayto. Then it was off to sunny Sudan and the GG speech to tie in with his Unicef charity. It's been a whirlwind of shitty PR followed by apologetic behavior or actual apologies.

But where is my handwritten note apologizing for the $15 and 2 hours I wasted on ISTL? Where is that, TH?

OT: The Daily Mail tells me that 'brand Beckham is RIP' because some of his emails about honors and charity work leaked. The emails suggest his work with Unicef was part of a conscious effort to secure a knighthood. When a PR guru suggested he make a large donation to a Unicef event, he told them to take a hike. Requests from Unicef for business class flights were also leaked - more demands than requests.

I wouldn't expect this to touch TH and his work with Unicef. I think we all can admit on some level that TH is not working with Unicef out of the pure goodness of his heart. I'm going to continue to believe that he does want to help people and is concerned about the situation in S. Sudan. However, there are benefits for him. And given it seems to be Luke's go-to PR strategy (nearly everyone in his stable is involved with a UN subsidiary), PR must play a role.

But I bet he's going to be praying that his emails stay safe and sound. He's probably going to install an extra firewall or two as well.
