British Sarah Lacy Coins "Lacy Principle"

Yet another brilliant post by Mr. Paul C(K)arr. Egomaniac that I am, I love that he coins "the Lacy Principle" in relation to Jason Calacanis. Egomaniac that I am, I'm chagrined he didn't link to me. :( I guess the American version of us is the bigger person. Literally. He's pretty short. The highlight:

"Now say what you like about Jason (I did) but that's fucking grade A class. A textbook response. It also demonstrates that he, a former journalist, understands what I've now decided to call the Lacy Principle - for every loser who attacks you in public, thirty more people buy your book to see what the fuss is about."

Slightly better was the photo slide show of his U.S. jaunt which makes me want to launch some Comedians of Comedy style Web 2.0 hanger-on author road trip with Mr. C(K)arr and perhaps another version or two of me/him from a few other countries. And of course turn that into a documentary that we can profit from in case there's no Web 3.0.
