Then I got thinking who's that other guy scamming us on all of Bob Bly's other pages?

And I know how he feels about being a "copywriting God". Ever since I've been a "marketing great" I know it's not all it's cut up to be. My wife refuses to grovel at my feet, I get no respect at home. And I keep waiting for checks to arrive addressed to "marketing great, Cairns" but so far they haven't come. At this rate I'll never be able to buy that private island I got lined up right after I first got called a marketing great. There is a very famous and successful Australian ad agency owner John Singleton who said you'll be alright as long as you never believe your own bullshit. Kindest regards, Andrew Cavanagh Wow this guy’s stuff is GREAT!

Why else would a site like that exist? Wow, it was really painful to read. In fact, I couldn't do it. I skimmed it.

It's an interesting way to make a point, for sure. The proof that it works is really that we're all here talking about it. And RonniC, I've lived in America for more than 30 years and have never met anyone who believes any of those things. Try meeting Americans before making assumptions.
